Black magic Quote by K.J. Colt
““Why do you allow black magic here?” she asked. “Why wouldn’t we? It is a vast and highly developed field,” he said. “But it is evil,” she said. “Oh, no. Magic is a tool. It is no more evil than a hammer or a saw. I see you are confused, and understandably. You see, there are as many different interpretations and classifications of magic as there are languages and peoples in this world.””
