What was your impression of the red-and-black sending?

Visually speaking, you mean? I loved it. The "sending star" shape has had a powerful place in my personal magical symbol library for a long time, probably because I was introduced to it at a fairly young age (11, around the time I was starting to dabble in candle magic and crystals and all that). This "black sending" version I even used once around age 13 or 14 to attempt to inflict a psychic attack over a long distance (ah, youth ^_-) and the target claimed to have been affected, so *shrug* But in any event I still use the shape itself in certain psychic/magical contexts.
