MindlesChaos can a person not maybe end it by saying that the money is brought in a way that won't harm others? And sorry about your friend.
LordArkadios what subjective terms if I may ask? So if someone wants to help people and themselves is it cool? Cause my family isn't doing to well financially and why I want to help and start a business. So can I do that from learning what's on this site?
If that were true and it wasnt a coincidence then people wouldnt bother buying guns they would just kill each other with magick silly. Think about it. Lol.
People can not kill people with magic but spirits and powers that be certainly can. Said Spirits and Cosmic powers can exact any price they deem fit if you do not set the guidelines in the spell. :-)
If that were true and death was not a coincidence and magic did not work within the laws of physics then you would be right and magic would be against the law and the goverment would use psychics to prosecute criminal witches. Just sayin.
Magic is part science, part spiritual in my belief. As such it is bound by physics. Spirits, however can not even be explained by science and are not bound by physics. Witchcraft because of its capabilities used to be illegal for just that reason. If you outlaw spellcasting you must also outlaw prayer considering prayers to Spirits are the same as Spellcasting. Do you really think a world run by religions will outlaw prayer? Not going to happen and therefore Spellcasting shall continue. :-)
I have a mixed belief on it. Because there is not one proven case of magic killing people. Plus every serious practioner even of curses and hexes that I know of say one human can not kill another human with magic. I am not saying it is not possible. I am not saying it is possible. I am saying I do not believe it is possible without help from the spirit world. If spirits heed my call and lead someone to their death then I have not committed a crime under the mans law unless it can be proven. It is no different than praying for someones death. I am still held accountable by the spirits for asking such a thing. I have tried killing with magic to no success. I have tried killing through spiritual help to no success. Really death and sickness curses rely more on the target knowing about it and worrying their self sick or causing their own death. If it were possible to pray or spellcast someone to death, the individual caster or prayer would be held accountable by courts not the belief system. That is what I am saying.
Mainly I believe in the Science and Spiritual side of Magic. I also believe Magic exacts a price just as prayer does. Most importantly I believe people can be hurt and / or killed when magic is not handled properly. Of course my belief does not make it fact and is slightly supersticious & subject to change as I learn and grow. :-)
