Dorianne Laux, "Dark Charms," in Only as the Day is Long: New and Selected Poems
Dorianne Laux, Dark Charms
The thing about me is I was born in a meadow or a seashell or a creek bed, but at some point I died and was reborn in the darkness, a bat's pupil, a whale's belly, a cold but still new moon night in December, and I've edged my toes around puddles of sunlight ever since.
“We continue to speak, if only in whispers, / to something inside us that longs to be named.”
—Dorianne Laux
If there are differences in light and dark magic, does that mean there should be dark transfiguration, and dark charms too? Cause all I hear about are dark curses and if that's all there is to dark magic, there should be no problem just keeping them banned. Cause what do you use curses for? Light spells are enough for self defense. Dark spells are more likely to cause someone serious harm so if you used that for self defense, then you could end up tried for excessive force, or worse, you could actually kill that person. It's way easier to just stupefy them. Faster too. And guilt free. If there are other branches of dark magic that actually have some use, other than causing excessive harm, then maybe they shouldn't call dark curses dark, it gives all other dark magic a bad name. They should call it destructive magic instead. That way, it's separate from ritual magic, mind magic, and other branches of magic that are considered dark.
