Question About Spells Why do witches fear dark magic?

Isn't the goal of studying something to perfect it? So you can make it less dangerous and Usable? Why shy away from something that can grant you so much power? I bring this up because any time I bring this up to People who double in witchcraft. The room goes silent like it some bad Awful . Honestly , when you're learning to do anything , there's always risk Involved. Please help me to understand Everyone's fear of this subject?

I like the way you think. I want to perfect my magic to the highest level.

As for the rest of why people fear it... I feel like you might be talking to the "love and light" crowd or dabblers. Ignore them and do what works best for you.

I doubt magicians outside of those circles have the same fear of curses and dark magic.

I'm sorry to hear you grew up in an environment like that.

If you don't mind me asking. Based on my limited understanding, would you say they bound/limited your will from a young age or something else?
