Rick RiordanBut magic is neither good nor evil. It is a tool, like a knife. Is a knife evil? Only if the wielder is evil.
About This Quote
The best way to describe magic is as a tool. You can use magic for good or evil. The person who uses the tools the most will become the most skilled in those tools. Those who learn to use their tools with care and consideration will be able to manipulate those things around them to their advantage.
Magic is not always good nor bad. It can be used to help people or harm people, but ultimately it is up to the person using the magic how they choose to use it.
