No need for an illegal curse there..." He realized he might have sounded a bit crazy and he paused. " So those are perfectly legal spells...used in an illegal manner. So I agree. It's all about what you intend to do with any talents you have." he said, feeling self conscious suddenly and getting quiet again. Turning to an unfamiliar Ravenclaw, Issy tipped her head curiously. "I don't think... necessarily, a Dark Wizard must dapple solely with the Unforgiveables. As the general consensus of this class states, it is how you use magic in general, Dark Arts included, that determine darkness. Because, you are right. You can use any legal curse to kill, and that doesn't call for it being made illeagal.
"But why are you killing? Why are you causing that harm and what do you wish to get from it? I think that's what the new belief is. Why would you kill someone for no reason? Personal gain or not... when it comes to death, there certainly is something... not right. Be it an unbalanced mentality, a sadistic nature, or a thirst so strong that nothing can quench it. There is a darkness." Quote:

"The motive is to obtain power, not to do harm." Celandine answered quietly.
"Power, whatever the cost." "But," added Issy, her voice gentle. Celandine, though a Succubus, looked unhappy and uncomfortable. "Getting that power means taking out whatever obstacle is in the way, right? Therefore... there is still an intent to harm, if it means being closer to their power. There is a sick thrill of power to be obtained from hurting someone after all, so in some cases, those two can actually go hand in hand."
This conversation was possibly becoming out of control.
