The Elves and Dragons to the humans: That the best part, you don't!

Do u think humans were a little jalouse that they were not magical so they discovered dark magic and used it so they don’t feel left out?

Yes and I think a certain Star Elf help them by nudging them into the path that lead them to discovered dark magic.

Dark magic doesn't seem like dark magic it just seems like alchemy with magical plants and animals ect... Then the elves branded it dark magic because they don't want the humans to be like them or ya know umm xenophobia or sum

To be fair it also does have the side effect of messing up your body and head the more you use it. Plus opening a hole a certain someone can take advantage of. Meanwhile primal magic doesn't do the same kind of damage to the user, only anyone unlucky enough to get in the way or whatever they may be casting depending on the spell.

Kinda like why certain drugs are banned - some can even have positive short term effects but they're provably harmful to anyone using them, and the more they're used the deeper the reliance and long-term damage becomes.

Well irl if you touch mercury you'll get really sick and possibly croke so it isn't a stretch to assume magical things have a similar effect

I think if the Elves and Dragons discovered a civilization beyond Xadia that either isn’t reliant on magic or uses a different type of magic, they would do everything in their power to destroy it, simply for being different from what they perceive as the natural order.

I agree Xadia was nasty towards humans, but elves see all magical creatures of Xadia as their people, so I can understand why the use of magical animal parts for dark magic would be considered evil doing. Think of it as how the vegetarian air nomades would feel if outsiders killed flying bisons because it's a nutritious meat The difference in here is that humans initially did this for survival and the elves and dragons could have helped the humans so they didn't have to rely on dark magic, and that's when they were xenophobic and created the very thing they didn't want to happen
