Black Magic effecting Afterlife?

[Tom]

What I was told was that karma is when the energy we send out is reflected back on us. Doing harm in any form sends out energy indirectly and incompletely. It comes back. Some say 3x as much. Some say in equal measures. In Mahayana Buddhism, it is magnified by the world around us and the longer it takes to come back the stronger it becomes. When harmful energy is sent out with discipline what can you expect to come back? Karma and reincarnation are linked. If there were no reincarnation then karma could be avoided by death. If you believe that actions have consequences and that the purity of those actions for good or harm matters, you will stop thinking of black magic.

What do you mean by black magic? This is rather vague as I have heard this referred to many different things. I can tell you this much, if you have a fear of this and of going to hell then you should not do it. You will definately be forced to face your fears, reguardless if they truly have any merit or not. If you think you will go to hell you will most likely find yourself in a place you think of as hell.

I'm not sure if this appropriate to be discussed here, but I know nowhere else to go to.

Black magic has always interested me, but fear of going to a hell has always been holding me back from practicing it.  That's what most of us had at one time been told.  I've been told nothing different as of yet.  So, what I'm asking is, will the practice of black magic effect our afterlife?
