Hello,
first the little question that only concerns me personally. I have to assign a (chemical) element to my main (magcially talented) villain and I'm not sure which one to use. Which one(s) would make you think "evil"?
Now the general question for all of you. What do you think about the equation "evil people=evil powers"? In many stories it's Necromancy, magic taken from peoples' life force, magic gained by pacts with evil spirits and the like for the villains, while the "good guys" use different powers. Do you like this differentiation or would you prefer to see the same abilites applied for good or evil or something in between by various people?
