Hi, I have a question. Why practice Black Magic if it comes back threefold onto you? I did it once by accident on someone (my Guide told me the spell that I did in it of itself wasn't really all that bad, but the problem was that I went REALLY overboard with it, because I wasn't sure if it would work or not), and I ended up getting it "in the face" lol in a really bad way. This was quite a while ago, and since I've been decidedly careful and barely have done spellwork since. I don't want to be afraid anymore. I'm slowly coming back to spellwork, but my question is, if I accidentally went a little overboard on a spell and it came back that hard to me, WHY would anyone DELIBERATELY practice Black Magic? I would imagine their spells would come back to them even worse, since they are doing them deliberately, right?
