SPOILER!!: Professor Romanos

Alyssa was glad to be finally changing positions, until the Professor gave them another one to move into. This was definitely an interesting class. 'Even if we didn't learn a thing which would be difficult not to, we at least learned the various yoga poses,'Alyssa laughed to herself before raising her hand to answer the Professor's next question.

"Professor, I don't think that it automatically makes someone a dark witch or wizard especially if the dark spell they used was to defend themselves. There is of course no excuse to cast the Unforgivable Curses unless the witch or wizard was absolutely sure that to not use it would mean their certain death. Even then he/she had to be very comfortable knowing that they will be causing pain to the victim or possibly killing someone, if they use it and are willing to accept the consequences of their actions.

What is most important is the intent of the person casting the dark spell. If it is to just to amuse or torture a victim then it is wrong. If it is repeatedly used in order for the person to gain power through fear and intimidation, then yes, it does make that person a dark witch or wizard."

She was SURE they wouldn't enjoy this pose. It did require...balance. "Ve're almost done. I promise. Just one more position. The tree pose. Hold your hands together like so..." Demonstration time! "Then take your foot, and carefully hold it over your knee." She would make it a little less difficult by keeping the hands mid-level and not above their heads like she was used to doing. Before their complains could fill her ears though, she continued on. "So, ve've discussed the three categories for dark spells. The jinxes, in which cause damage or negative effects. The hexes, which are the simplest of malevolent spells to cast, most often having some sort of transfiguration or other negative effect. And then the curses, which almost always are intended to cause grave harm to the victim." "However, is it just the spell itself that makes it dark? If a vitch or vizard used one of these spells, vould that automatically make them a dark person? Vot makes someone a dark vitch or vizard?"
