In order to make your goal manifest, you must visualize it first, then focus on it and direct your energy toward it.
A spell is a recipe that you put together to help yourself visualize your magical goal. Different components work to help you make change happen:-
meditation
chanting
visualization
concentration
ritualistic behaviour/action
physical objects
To build a cone of power it helps if your spells are spake in rhyme. Witches speak their spells in rhyme because it gives the conscious mind something to do. While your conscious mind is busy listening to the words, your unconscious can tap into your energy and the energy of the God and Goddess and magic is done.
Remember, don't rush ahead and do a spell to correct a situation that is bothering you. Before you act magically, make sure you have exhausted all the mundane means available to rectify the problem. You must also think out all the possible outcomes to your spell.
Spells should be done with the best intentions for everyone - For the Good of All and Freewill of All.
Remember there are karmic consequences with everything we do in life. If getting what you want will harm someone, stop and rethink your goal.
It is best to cleanse and consecrate your space before doing magic, but if you are not going to do ritual, cleanse and consecrate your sacred space, pull up your magic circle, summon the element you need or the elemental of that element or call deity, then you are ready for magic.
