Magic is forbidden. The reason is obvious because it involves use of the djinn and they won't help you until you worship them or defile yourself. Such as sitting in your own waste for a number of days or trying to have relations with family members.
Generally the devils will only help if you do an act that angers the Almighty. This alone makes it evil.. so when you say..
Is obviously damage control, or you have no knowledge on the subject.
Regardless, there is no benefit for me to argue it, believe whatever you like.
And they followed what the devils taught during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but it was the devils who disbelieved. They taught the people witchcraft and what was revealed in Babylon to the two angels Harut and Marut. They did not teach anybody until they had said, “We are a test, so do not lose faith.” But they learned from them the means to cause separation between man and his wife. But they cannot harm anyone except with Allah's permission. And they learned what would harm them and not benefit them. Yet they knew that whoever deals in it will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable is what they sold their souls for, if they only knew. (2:102 Quran)
