good out of bad

is it possible to use bad magic for good reasons? I don't wont to sound like a nerd (heh) but like the way Ghost Rider does it

In my opinion, no. If your intent is negative the outcome will be negative. If your intent is positive the outcome will be positive. Also, Ghost Rider is a fictional film.

yea i know heh heh I was just making an example

Technically you can do workings that were made to cause harm, and turn them positive. You cant hurt someone and justify it because they are "bad" if that is what you are asking. Either way your causing harm.

Doing a bad thing for a good cause is never the answer. It is better to do a good thing for a good cause. Revenges spells are considered to get "revenge" but getting revenge means that you did something bad to get even, when really, i don't believe it is up to people to dictate who is worthy of punishment. Plus, i really hate to see people degrade themselves by stooping to the other persons level.

what I meant was like having dark powers but using them for good

What exactly do you mean by powers? Casting spells and performing rituals don't give you powers. They simply allow you to tap into the natural, magical energies around you and impress your will upon it to bring about a desired change. As I said before, the intent sent out be it positive or negative determines whether that change will either be positive or negative.

Magick has no color. What you do with it makes YOU a good or bad person, not the magick. Using magick is the same as any action. Just like they say with guns, it isn't the gun that kills, its the one who's behind the gun. It's the one behind the magick, not the magick itself. Magick is neutral.
