I brew my tea in a platonic solid

So, a poll:

A couple of ten-year-olds are trying to summon a ghost, using a pentagram done in sidewalk chalk on the driveway, filled with symbols taken from a chapter at the back of a library book on occultism that talked about Aleister Crowley and some other stuff from earlier in the same book. They're not allowed to light candles, so they've got an assortment of flashlights, a battery-powered candle, and a solar garden light on the points of the star, and one of them (the one who read the library book) cobbled together a summoning charm. Also, they keep getting interrupted by inconsiderate adults to do things like eat dinner, or have cookies.

Does it work?

**ETA-- they're using the full name of the particular ghost they want, so I think the odds of getting something else by mistake are slim to none.

Is it wrong to find that adorable?
(Yeah, it's all cute until they summon the infernal flashlight demon.)

Sadly, since they're using the full name of the ghost in question, I don't think the can end up with an infernal flashlight demon. But maybe someday I'll write you an alternate ending. ;)
