Hate, cruelty, pain, given metaphysical form. Turning your shoe into a lemur is benign; maybe not 'good' magic, but devoid of 'bad', also. Curing someone of the plague, causing trees to grow, are good things. Magic meant to kill is not. We manipulate magic and we do not do so in a vacuum. The power used to make a potion or cast a spell goes out into the world and sometimes what it ends up pulled into isn't pleasant.
It goes on. Hairs are split. Points of view are involved. Morality. Standards. Darkness is opposite of light but it is also infinite shades of grey.
