orriculum:

simply because magic is not needed in every situation, nor is it advisable. recognizing when magic is and isn’t needed, or even a good idea is important in the life of the witch. 

here are a couple of examples of such:

things i have answered “no” to today:

• bewitching your significant other (consent issues anyone?)
  
• bewitching a non-signif to find out personal things (consent again)
• asked for a spell for communicating with spirits (just because a skill isn’t developed doesn’t mean a spell will replace experience)
  
• weight loss spells (dangerous and against my personal morals)

however, the one outlier i include is this, because it’s important:

• easily google-able question (as stated in previous posts, i encourage people to develop their own research skills so they can grow in their craft when they reach an area of their path where there isn’t someone around to hold their hand and slip them the answers)
