I marked this article for cleanup. The content needs to be expanded, formatted and structured for better quality. As of right now, I'd say our to-do list is to identify a structure for the article, then start moving the content and expanding on it.
For starters, let's get some structure. Evocation... in different magical traditions, in literature, etc. Appropriate links to other pages on magic are required as well. Finally, NPOV requires that we don't necessarily take as given a particular opinion about the reality of magic or its morality as the current article seems to take as given.
I know little or nothing about this subject, but I know that it does require attention from someone with some domain knowledge.

I did most of the current expansion on the page, which did amount to improvement over the stub, I think. Further expansion into an outline as you suggest would be cool. I may have time for that later in the summer.
I wrote it from the POV of direct description of what the tradition says about itself. I will say that it's heavily from the european occult tradition, but that's the origin of the term. One could identify similar practices in other cultures, but 'evocation' is a term from the euro tradition. My descriptions of the focus and intent of the most well-known traditional methods are entirely middle of the road - would it be useful to include a section in the outline about - I dunno - 'critical' discussion of evocation, such as the opinions of churches and materialists?

- Not necessarily. Most religion/magic articles currently make do without mentioning the opinions of holders of competing worldviews. More sources would be more useful. I only have German language ones and other encyclopedias, so although I'm optimistic about the factual accuracy of the article, I can't name more sources besides the single one I just added, which doesn't cover most of the claims made in the article.
