Actually paint is a substance,and I agree with the lost soul who posted for an abomination let's get back to the topic.
The laws of nature are what they are but can changed to our liking,true it would need a large amount of energy to accoplish its still possible,an also needs perfect amount of focus and belief.
I mean after all what is magic,manipulating energy...energy that creates what is physical and what is nature.
Ok, I like how Yggdrasil says 'simply' using death energies and the can be 'a little tough to manipulate',learning to use death energy is extremely difficult and using, what is usually described as, pure death in high enough amounts to kill someone will a)make all your hair fall our b)be extremely painful c)give you gangrene or d) all of the above. To use death energy you need to be temporarily tuned into the netherworld. If anyone has any questions PM me.
Magic is just upon the intent of the user and some people ridiculously separate it by color. I do not believe that there is any ritual or spell possible of killing someone ''by name''. Also why do damage to a person, you will get your punishment eventually if you do such a thing.
Why dont people use such spells to wage wars? It would be an effective method of assasination without leaving the office, would the answer be because it isnt possible?
I'm curious do you even know what death essence is? Its one of the toughest energies to learn to use. Because its got an extremely funky feel to it and is harder to identify opposed to chaotic, abyssal, universal energies. Those energies you see everyday in everything. Unless you work at a morgue or cemetery you're not going to find death essences just about in the atmosphere. So again death by magick is just highly unlikely because of the amout of energies it would take to pull it off.
What a hostile thread, - interesting, considering the initial post.
Kizarra, having rebuked someone for the same thing, you used a term of endearment as a put-down. I do wish people would live by the standards they demand of others.
The topic was not the colour of magick, which is in fact described in various ways by many different cultures across the globe and historically. It is energy, to clarify, that has no colour. Like water, a programming, or 'pigment', if you like, can be added to energy to change an aspect of it's quality. So few admit what is commonly understood.
Finally, let us apply some logic. If everyday magick folk, and, let's face it, we are many, were capable of such a simplistic death spell, do you think we would still have a population problem? Or such prevalence of idiocy in the world? I doubt it. Still, one can dream.
Your "Final" point is interesting...actually not really,you honestly think people can just cast a spell to cause a death by just picturing it and wanting it,no the reason why things like that aren't possible is because the way the majority of people think.You claim that such things aren't possible but yet we are able to manipulate spiritual energy to interact in this world.
So what your implying is(adding logic)that not everything is possible but logically we are mysteriously capable of changing the outcome of things in this world which is only limited by our belief of how things were naturally before animals with strong awareness came into being,following whats already there instead trying what we claim is impossible...possible.
By the way how did animals with strong awareness decide to use magic,oh yeah they "Believed" that nature and all it's natural glory had supernatural beings that made thing work how they did and also gave elements embodiment such as god or deities and their strong belief in that created the ancient beings there are now.
Oh and why would we need a strong belief to make things happen using magic,because people who limit themselves already believe that such things aren't possible addng to the will in which we exist consciously and subconsciously which is where ordinary people have a part in our failiure to accomplish what it is that we want.
You honestly think that "Death spells" aren't possible but believe that magic is,and is capable of interacting in this world.
Maybe some need study alittle more on figures that accomplish things before the eyes of others a d us real "Logic" instead of following what everybody already thinks.
