i guess it's still going lol

> how old do you have to be to cast spells

Capable enough to comprehend what you are doing I suppose.


> would wishing for someone to adopt you be considered black magic??

Depends on how one defines "Black Magic". People tend to argue what is or isn't black magic. I personally use the terms Maleficium or Baneful magick to distinguish magick that harms or directly controls.

Under my definition, no, it would not be.

In my studies I too read that controlling someone's free will is black magick and I entirely believe so but a more proper example for this would be to force someone to fall in love with you. Although there is a slight difference between forcing someone into adopting you and wishing for love and a family.
It is true that magick should have no color and it all depends on what you do with and the intent and energies you associate it with but it is simpler to call it that because some spells can only be cast with bad intent.
Blessed be.
