Black magic has served as an African justice system since long (Salaam.2002). Black magic has made it so that the number of criminals has been kept to a minimum. Its legitimacy comes from the fact that all Africans accept, recognize, and approve of the art. Black magic can also be used to address natural disasters such as drought or famine.

Arguments Against the PowersBlack Magic is often used to harm innocent people. Black magic is often used to exact revenge or punish others. These magicians are now able to make a living by commercializing their services due to the frequency with which they are sought after. Cone artists, who are also motivated by money, have also gotten involved in the field to exploit innocent people. Black magicians are also going against what people had expected. They may even deliberately cause harm to people by using sorcery or witchcraft. This practice is not recognized by Christianity or other religions. This makes it less acceptable in modern society.
