Baneful Usages for Pokemon Spirits
This post isn't written from experience, but rather mostly theory, so it might not actually work in practice. This also isn't exhaustive, just me thinking of possible usages.
I wrote this from my own POV on baneful magic, hence all the "enemy" talk. That's what I use baneful magic for. It's not the only valid form, though.
Feel free to reblog and add your own additions! Take your favorite Pokemon and find a way to make them baneful.
