MAGIC IS NOT TO BE USED TO GAIN POWER OVER OTHERS.
Magic is a technique used in developing your own ‘power from within.’ Spells that are directed at gaining power over others weaken the ‘power from within.’ Aside from the damage done to oneself, it is important for another reason. Many people who do not understand the laws of magic are afraid of being attacked magically and are given to paranoia.
The witch’s main stock-in-trade used to be removing a competitor’s hexes
and preparing charms to protect their clients. While true psychic
attacks are EXTREMELY RARE, a person’s guilt makes up for any lack,
and after using ‘forbidden’ help, their paranoia leads them to seek
protection from the same person they just turned to in desperation.
Do yourself a favor, and resist the temptation to ‘help’ these types.
Most magical formularies consist of formulae gathered and tested by
witches as well as many charms to protect the common man from those
same witches who sold them their charms.
