Ah, the descriptions you give actual fit much better with the notion of black and white magic I had before I came across Donald Kraig's definitions. But I figured those notions may just come from watching Disney Movies or something far removed from serious magickal practice.

So, is this one of those things where everyone has their own different definitions... do you think the ones I mentioned are non-standard, or are they somehow another way of looking at the ones you present? Or is it just a mixed bag and it depends on who you ask.
