Magic for Dummies | Period One | Class Four

[angelandwitch.livejournal.com]

There was a spread of coffee, tea and pastries today when the students arrived. Just because Paige felt like they deserved them after the weekend.

Once they were all settled, she wrote on the white board:

GOOD MAGIC vs BAD MAGIC

"Okay, so today we're going to talk about what makes magic good or bad. There's really no easy answer to this question. You might say that bad magic is magic that hurts another being. But if I used magic this weekend to fight off those nasty gremlins, your answer might change. So I want to know what you think is good magic and what you think is bad magic. Feel free to question each other as well."

"I agree that bad magic is magic that hurts another being," Raven said quietly.

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

[angelandwitch.livejournal.com]

"Even if the other being is trying to hurt you first?" Paige asked.

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

Raven shook her head. "I am a healer," she said. "Using my gifts to inflict harm is wrong, even to defend myself." If she said it enough, maybe she'd believe it.

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

[angelandwitch.livejournal.com]

"So how would you defend yourself then?" Paige asked.

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

[trigons_child]

"I am not skilled in defense," Raven admitted. "The only way I should use my gifts in such a case is to attempt to remove the aggression of the person attacking me." Should, but not could.

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

Paige nodded. "Okay, but what if you get hurt and can't help others?"

Harper Finkle

…was definitely around to talk, or for passing stuff out, or for emergency clothing repairs. She was especially useful that way.

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

"I can heal myself?" Raven said uncertainly. "I must avoid being hurt if I am to be able to help."

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

"Oh, this is easy!" said Harper. "Good guys wear light colors and bad ones wear black."

It's a shame she was wearing the black top with the bedazzled collar today.

Paige eyed Harper's top. "Are you sure about that?" she asked. "What if someone is wearing stripes like I am today?"

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

[angelandwitch.livejournal.com]

"What if you get knocked unconscious?" Paige asked. "Then you can't heal yourself, right?"

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

Harper frowned. "Maybe they're being sneaky and trying to disguise their true colors? Er, not that I think you're secretly evil or anything like that."

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

[angelandwitch.livejournal.com]

"Not usually, at least," Paige said with a smirk. "You're wearing a black top though."

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"You know, there are people out there who kinda like getting, uh, hurt," Harper pointed out. "So, is it still bad magic if they were asking for it?"

Re: Discussion [MfD 4]

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Oh," said Harper, looking at her sleeve. "So clothes really can't tell you anything about if someone is using magic for evil purposes."
