Go read that passage carefully. She claims to see someone and he assumes it’s Saul. He later dies because the information given to him by this demon pretending to be Saul was incorrect.
It’s the only interpretation that jives with scripture. God’s prophecies are always 100% correct and reliable. The fact that the spirit he contacted gave incorrect information should be a huge red flag telling you it wasn’t something from God. God also says not to attempt communicating with the dead. The reason for this is that you actually can’t communicate with the dead. The Bible is very clear in that the dead are “asleep” and don’t have any awareness or thinking capacity. They rest in the grave until the second coming outside of a very few exceptions that God raised early for typological significance. When you try to do a ritual to communicate with a spirit, the only thing you will contact is a fallen angel pretending to be the person you are trying to contact. Those things are only entertaining your nonsense in order to fool you and drive you away from God.
Edit: Sorry, Samuel not Saul. Saul was trying to contact Samuel. I’m terrible with names.
It's not dumb at all, there is white magick and black magick in this world, but both are forbidden by God.
Read/watch the testament of Solomon for a better understanding, he used magick to summon and use demons as a tool to build his temple, and in the end they bit him in the ass.
this is dumb, in the book of 1 Samuel, Saul consulted a medium and called Samuel back

Hmm, I guess that is a possibility.
