- Personally, I remain unconvinced of the 'threefold law.' I do like
- your phrasing of it, however; rather than saying that black magic is
- 'morally wrong' or 'evil,' you merely state that you perceive it as
- harmful to the practitioner. May I assume that if the practitioner
- is willing (for whatever reason) to incur this harm, you would have
- no argument with their use of black magic?

- I know what you mean. MY four rules of magic: To Know, To Will, To
- Dare and TO SPEAK. I find so much magic that way... <g>

- But are you ever NOT working with magic, really? Isn't it important to
- "watch what you say" even in the most trivial of cases? By "say," I
- include how you say it too, plus all non-verbal language.
