This is the magic of dealing with angelic spirits.
The magician can perform a ritual to get an angel to perform a task. When this power is first purchased the magician is allowed to choose the magical intention White Magic and a lesser angel to carry it out. If the task is to grant a spell within an intention from the angel, the level of success is split between the effect and the duration of the effect. The effect itself is converted into basic magic pips and is applied to the level of the spell based on the MP of the magician. If the angel is casting the spell for the magician, then your level of success will be split as the GM sees fit, as the demon uses your ability to control it as the basis for the spell. If the task is something else the effect is the duration of the task (until it is completed, at which point the angel will depart). Here are some examples of specials for White Rite:

It is assumed that the magician knows the name of a lesser angel who can provide the intention. The symbol is a representation of the angel's name coupled with the intention. When performing this power the level of success is split between the effect and the duration of the effect. The effect itself is converted into basic magic pips and is applied to the level of the symbol based on the MP of the magician. Note that the ritual can only be performed once per symbol, you cannot add new rituals to increase the duration of an existing symbol; though you can repeat the ritual once the duration has ended.

The magician is able to bargain with an angel in return for the power to perform a magical power. You must have the power Speak with Angels before you attempt this power. When this power is first purchased the magician is allowed to choose a magical power within the intention White Magic. It is assumed that the magician knows the name of a lesser angel who can provide the intention. When performing this power you must give of yourself by choosing to acquire a condition to better yourself. These will be conditions such as Duty-Bound, Compassionate, and the like. The GM must always approve of your choice for the condition.
Nature of the Condition Acquired | Bonus to your roll | Personal Detriment |
Basic | 5 | Piety (1 pip) |
Difficult | 10 | Piety (2 pips) |
Extreme | 15 | Piety (3 pips) |
You have a detriment to your roll based on the level of the angel you are calling: -5 for lesser, -10 for greater, -20 for noble, and -40 for royal. If your result is negative, the angel will increase the power detriment by the difference.
