All black magic IS Nemesis

The fact that some people think evil is good doesn't actually make it good though.  They just think it is.

In the Dresden Files magic alters you by the way it's used.  It's not just psychology...  Also just by putting the Hexenwolf belt on Harry was touched by darkness.  He felt amazing by just putting it on, and wanted to kill people with absolute savagery.  That's not psychology, but dark magic or as I theorize, anti-creation, Nemesis.

Only in a materialistic universe, which the Dresdenverse is not.

exartiem:
I think the difference between N-fecting mortals and fae is because mortals USE magic while fae ARE magic.

With the fae, it's like dropping black ink into a bottle of water.  It spreads easily by changing one small part of their nature and making them think it's a power boost. 

But with humans, the N-fection has to work through their subconscious and change their morals subtly.
