There is no black or white magic. Only magic that balances or unbalances.

If you knew a man who molested children, and you gave him a stroke, ensuring he never moves again… you took away his ability to cause pain. You helped bring balance back. Such magic cannot be called black.

If you cast on yourself a memory-improving charm, which placed you ahead of a classmate who deserved first place… you caused an imbalance. What to you was harmless was not quite. Such magic cannot be called white.

Most love spells cause imbalance, for the affections you take are not yours to claim.

Most revenge spells create balance, for you are merely giving back the pain you unwillingly obtained.

If you are powerful enough, you may do as you please. But know that those who cause an imbalance will owe a debt that will one day be collected.

Perhaps it was Disney, Harry Potter or Neopaganism that helped cement this black vs. white magic perspective in modern witches’ minds. But it is only the cosmic balance to which we should not be blind.
