As you can see, it's summoning a djinn to bind it to an item. The actual post on the forum where it's at discusses some of the djinn lore, and you can read plenty more over on wiki and all across the net. You'll find out in no time at all that, just like any other area of the occult, there is no end to the number of differing opinions on the subject matter.
I think it's worth noting that this isn't just a small matter of calculations to be made. It's not as if there is a formula for converting one belief to the next like metric and imperial equivalents.

The only way to entertain the near countless other versions is to literally attempt each one exclusively.
For example, something as seemingly simple as attempting to use spirit/talking/ouija boards can actually have quite a few techniques. So far, I've had people tell me their theories consisting of everything from specific patterns that must be drawn with the planchette before you begin to the location needing to be specific as well. Older beliefs I've read also suggest specific types of wood be used, and still yet there are numerous planchette shapes.
If we were to experiment thoroughly and take into account every combination of each different belief system that is part of a whole experiment, I'm fairly certain I could spend a good portion of my life on only a handful of small occult systems.
For this reason, I tend to go with whatever is the most accepted theory. If the majority, for example, said, "For this you must stand in a circle facing north," but a smaller group said you needed to face south, I would go with North. I might eventually get around to trying everything over again with South, however.
This is only a small example, but hopefully it helps explain why I often get comments saying I did something "wrong." Right and wrong are hard to come by when you're dealing with rumors, myths, legends, and folklore (not to mention a history often involving secret societies and cults). These types of groups often purposely hide meanings or mislead those not formally initiated.

Jokes aside and moving on to current reading material. Upon suggestion, I've started turning the pages of E. A. Koetting's "Works of Darkness." I'm not far in yet, but the book was recommended, and it fits with my original plan to work back in time basically going through more recent material before going on to older material. Koetting is very new, still alive in fact.
You can find his books on amazon or his channel on youtube. I'm not going to be giving a personal review of his book or his channel. This is not a review site where I tell you what to shop for or what shows to watch. I am simply going to follow the instructions in his book to the very best of my ability, record the results, and we can all review the video together.
Also, even if it is weeks away before I attempt anything by a published author (alive or dead), I want to stress that some systems have very strong advocates. I'm sure even the videos I have already done would convince some people that I am a terrible person with few, if any, redeeming qualities, and am going to end up in some Hell somewhere.

I am equally as sure that when I work through existing systems, some practitioners of those systems will, no doubt, feel that I misrepresented them or their beliefs. That's only natural, and I understand.
If I follow the instructions of a system and nothing happens and you feel I misrepresented your beliefs, please just send me a PM or even a short comment saying exactly how you would perform the ritual or what I should do differently.
In fact, I welcome anyone with the time and resources to contact me through my youtube or this blog or even my email at xroommod@gmail.com. We can discuss the experiment. If you want to represent your system, you can teach me or even come here in person. We'll record the results of you instructing me and even you performing the ritual yourself if you prefer.
We do not have to disclose your identity. On the other hand (if you want your name out there), I will give you full credit. Please keep in mind this is going out to everyone. You, your father, your sister, E.A. Koetting, the ghost of Crowley, and everyone else is formally invited to contact me and help me with experiments to experience and document the paranormal, supernatural, and occult.
