Like I said before, literally any spell or school of magic can be used in awful ways. You can blow up hospitals with Fireball, drown people in stone with Transmute Rock (Mud to Stone), summon a demon that breaks free and murders an entire village with multiple Conjuration spells, permanently turn an innocent person into literally any object you want with True Polymorph, learn the deepest, darkest, most embarrassing secrets of anyone with Detect Thoughts, randomly duplicate people without their consent with Simulacrum, murder someone and assume their identity with Disguise Self/Alter Self, reprogram the brain of someone to force them to believe that they're your slave/lover/friend with Modify Memory, and scam enough people with Illusion magic that you end up completely destroying the local economy.Literally all types of magic can be misused, and basically all types can be used for good. Some are inherently more problematic/morally dark (Enchantment, Illusion, Necromancy) than others (Transmutation, Healing/Resurrection Magic, Abjuration), but literally every type of magic can be used for good or evil.It's when things get more specific that the problems start to happen. Love Potions are just inherently way more of a problem that basically any other type of magic in D&D, due to their very common rape-y implications/usages in fantasy media.</blockquote>
