Is "dark magic" just a term to describe spells which could only, or potentially, be used for harm? or is "darkness" some independant quality which just tarnishes everything no matter what the intention? Does it exist independantly as the evil inky blob they extracted from Rumple did, or is it just a term to describe morally neutral magic being wielded by a bad person?

Is light magic some force which can only be used for good, or does the magic become light when it it being used for good.

I guess what I really want to know is, are they just two names for the same thing, just neutral magic, being used in two different ways, or are they the names of two distinct types of independant "forces" which have their own rules for who can use them and for what?

I hope this made some sense.
