:: I would like to like to point out that before 4e (4th Edition), magic worked like this: You were able to use certain spells. After taking a rest, you "prepared" these spells. Once used, you had to prepare these spells again before you could use them again. This system, called "Vancian Magic", is based off the fictional works of Jack Vance, and was chosen specifically because it was not related to any real life "magic". Furthermore, magic is a neutral tool in D&D, like a hammer. You can use a hammer to build a house, or build a tank. While certain spells (like "Smite Evil" and "Unholy Blight", good and evil spells respectively) are specifically good or evil, lawful or chaotic, on the most part spells are neither good or evil. As a gamer like myself would put it, a spell like Magic Missile would be "True Neutral".
