So I have the Liber Lucifer Ordinis Novi book, and it mentions being forbidden. After using it, I get access to infernal magic. My question is, going by the descriptions in-game, are there any negative consequences to using infernal magic, or are all the schools simply schools of magic?

For example, if I cast some infernal magic in town, will people attack me for it (I'm an inquisitor, btw)? Will using it affect my karma or whatever the good/evil meter is in any way? Or is that all just fluff, and I can use whatever magics I want without worrying about roleplaying consequences?

the only difference between forbidden and allowed magic is that you need more evil alignment for successfully cast forbidden magic skill and more good alignment for allowed magic. for inquisitorial magic you need evil alignment also.

i've read about this in the manual. or maybe on game's homepage. for sure in some "official" source.

you lose alignment if you torture innocents, its not very obvious and you can very easily torture the wrong person early on.

Yeah, but I haven't tortured *anyone* so far. I did save and then torture one person because I just wanted to see what torture was like without dealing with consequences, but reloaded before having arrested the person.

I'm wondering if the alchemists potion quest (really early on) considers intimidating the potion lady to be an evil act?
