You bring up a very interesting point. The animated series has done a poor job of differentiating different kinds of magic so far. One of the main themes of the series has been science versus magic, with characters having a strong affinity for one or the other (though the Bishop condemns both as witchcraft). This doesn't leave much room for the show to compare and contrast different kinds of magic, even though at least "black magic" is explicitly mentioned several times in various situations. Clearly, the Church views all magic of the non-holy kind as bad, and even Lisa doesn't seem to like magic very much. Of course, just because some of the characters believe magic is inherently unpredictable, bad, or superstitious doesn't necessarily make it true.
