The dark is more my friend, works with me in black magic and combat against the enemy like an allied soldier and I have more affinity with it than light, the light is just a tool and energy for me to utilize and maintain strength and power in my soul as well as use for positive workings and to help others and myself.
Nobody should ever idolize these things though, they are just spectrums of energy and any other race in the universe that can and knows how to use it can do so just like we can. It's not specially unique to us, it's everywhere for any race to utilize. The 'light' of the enemy is deceitful suicidal garbage.
Also obsession with light is bad in and of itself. the universe is made of light, dark and everything in between, you shouldn't focus and master just one, you need to master all. You might like one more than the other and may feel closer to one, but even the gods encourage us to not restrict ourselves to only white magic. When someone advances, and I mean really advances, then they should start at the very basic level of practicing black magic and working with other colours. I've been working with negative energy and black magic for a couple of years now, I'm confident in my abilities to control and direct it and have used it on multiple occasions to exact justice and to attack the enemy and it is very effective, but you MUST know what you are doing.
Even I still have to train further with it and I refuse to use negative energies that are too powerful for even me to defend myself against in case something goes wrong or my focus falters.
