‘Magic – Book of Basics’ should be given to a Novice learning the basic level set of magic by their mentor, as is dictated by the Wizarding Rules and Moral Law. However, I am sure some people will buy and use it to test and teach themselves, and this is also acceptable and shows initiative.
It is not for the education of Magicians in the use of Wiccan “Magick” as I do not believe there is such a thing as Wiccan Magick. What is done in Wicca is not magic, but drama mixed with New Age ideas that people seem to believe are magical. Rather, the following should be used to teach those who have been found to possess the powers of magic in their blood and so have been tested, passed, and are on their way to becoming Magicians by learning about lore and the use of spells.

A Magician is only named a Mentor (or Tutor) when they have taken an Apprentice, and, surprisingly perhaps, they are not obligated to teach spells and lore, though this usually occurs. The role of the Mentor is to oversee the Apprentice’s practice and help them should they become stuck or meet danger. The Apprentice is, however, obligated to show their works to their Mentor, and should they use experimentation to create their own spells then they certainly have to show these. Consequently, some take Apprentices so that they can learn new spells without having to do the work themselves. This is very much frowned upon by almost all Magicians as it is being lazy and disrespectful, while taking advantage of Apprentices.
Many, including Magicians as well as the un-gifted, think the use of Dark Magic is illegal and forbidden - either because of their own belief system or the influential power of media. This is not the case though, and many Magicians do actually study some form of Dark Magic, even if few will be open about this. Those who openly admit this are more likely to be those Magicians who understand Dark Magic enough not to be scared by it, that have enough knowledge to be an authority or are confident that no-one can do anything about it. And then there are those who use nothing but Dark Magic and so cannot effectively hide it.
