Bex,
I'm reposting your original message again with a trimmed crosspost
list. I'm not sure it, or my other reply commenting on it, are
distributing properly.

The "theory" is that the circle acts as a protection, and the triangle
is both a container for the spirit, and a point of focus for it.
As for the other questions, they are easily dealt with, because the
theory, as stated, is utter bullshit. No "spirits" actually "appear"
anywhere, so all these questions about "where does the spirit
appear?", "what happens if it's too large?" and "can spirits
teleport?" are just non-starters.

Still no sign of my first comments, so I'll comment again.

Probably not, since I didn't see this thread earlier.

The circle is a boundary outside which the spirit is evoked. The
triangle is supposed to contain or catalyse the evocation by providing
a focal point.

>>If I evoke without a triangle, where does the spirit appear?
Try it.
>>Can one evoke (or invoke -- sorry if the terminology is wrong)
Evocation and invocation are quite different things.

Thank you everyone for answering what must've seemed like stupid questions.
All the input and thought is appreciated.
I've been reading "Summoning Spirits" by Konstantinos which includes
instructions on summoning spirits to the Astral and Physical planes,
Egregore creation, and some drawings of the spirits Konstantinos has
communicated with.
I have a few additional questions:
1 - Is he crazy? If the answer is yeas, please ignore the rest of the
questions:
2 - Is Physical evocation possible?
3 - It was the notion of Physical evocation inspired my question about the
triangle: e.g. if the triangle is really small, does the spirit materialize
really small?
Thanks again for your patience,
--Bex.
