>This makes me wonder, though; would doing this to a person violate the person? Is there some sort of inherent energetic exchange, intimate or not, involved if you do this?
It is all about "smelling" the other person. If I went into your personal space and smelled your neck with a loud SNIIIIIIIIIIF sound then it would be quite intrusive. It might weird you out if you notice me, but I still wouldn't call it "violation". Most of the time I can smell others without even intending to do so. I have to smell people "closely" if they have a very weak energetic presence. Low confidence shysters are that way usually.
When people ask for "reading" they rarely realize that the psychic will need to smell them. And smelling randos is rarely fun. Some people rarely smell better than the average street hobo.
Some people (especially powerful wizards and masters) are capable of emitting such a large amount of energy that they "stink up the whole room". In that case "bathing in their energy" is not a violation because they are spreading their "pheromones" everywhere. Ofc they can decide which pheromones of theirs they spread. Do they want to dominate the room or they want to "Lighten it". Experienced practitioners can decide which energies they emit. They can even mask their energies. When some practitioners don't like to be "smelled" you will notice on their energies and see that they will find it questionable if you do it. They will "sense" that someone just entered their presence. Ofc most people barely notice it.
Oh and some people (mostly "downers") emit a large amount of negative energy because they sit in their room the whole day and generate nothing but that. So they jump to online places and spread their negative energy because they have too much of it and cannot air out their own room on their own...
>I personally question if doing this with an egregore would violate the egregore
That is like violating the McDonalds egregore by going into it and buying some fries with a coke. To "violate it", you would need to jump through the counter, rape the cashier and set the place on fire.
If you "violate" an egregore the egregore and it's inhabitants usually turn against you. Buying some fries is not violation. Stealing the fries is a violation. Stealing a napkin from the trashcan is not a violation again. Hitting on the cashier might be a violation if you obstruct business. But if it is a slow day and the cashier is bored and into you then you might do it without violating anything. You might even start working at McDonalds too. Then as the "employee" of that egregore the rules change again.
Depends on the egregore. Also most egregores stink too much that they violate you with it's stink more than you violate it by smelling it.
>but I have too much confirmation bias to just ask a sentient egregore myself.
Most egregores are rarely "sentient". They are usually just an amalgamation of energies. Would you call a large pile of bullshit sentient just because worms and flies inhabit it? That is how most egregores are. A large amount psychic residue and other materia that low energy entities inhabit.
For an egregore to be "sentient" it needs to have a "ruling entity" a godlike being. When it has a God then it is a whole different issues. Then it is a "dominion" and it has specific rules and function.

>Maybe it would be good for you to actually try to really hurt someone for real just so you realize how stupid all these fears you have about "accidentally raping" random people are.
I too wonder how to solve this

>What would it take to shape an object out of thin air? Like producing food? I know Michael Talbot has some examples of this in his book, and I believe him. So I believe it's possible. But what would it take? Is it just a matter of mastering the technique, or is there a secret ingredient?
You either teleport/move it from one location to the next... or you make the world "give birth" to that object. Birth is all about rearranging nutrients and cells according to genetic commands. You have to do the same with the world and inject the commands and necessary ingredients into it. Hope this helps.
The actual method of the whole procedure depends on the magician and his magic. Same with birth. Different species propagate differently. The method of the magic depends what forces the magician employs
