Uh, Peter, I spot three problems with this:

1) Why limit this exorcism only to the readers of your posting?
2) If indeed you have this authority over all spiritual darkness, then why
   worry about D&D anymore?  You've already driven the demons away forever,
   so how can playing D&D cause them to return?
3) If indeed you have this authority over all spiritual darkness, then why
   not get rid of all evil spirits forever?  It sure would make the world
   a better place.
