Peace talks excerpt indications
Arjan:
It was not a potion that did all the work for him because. Peabody did many things with the younger wizards that probably required a more sensitive individualised approach. A potion to increase lust is one thing and will probably work on most people and is not inherently evil. It does not alter the mind directly and it can help some couples if taken voluntarily and knowingly in a controlled environment.
As Ebenezar said the ink assisted with mental manipulation probably by making the subject more vulnerable, Peabody still had to do the work.

Yes, but mind manipulation while it breaks one of the Seven Laws isn't black magic, so Peabody
would not stand out. Harry did sense black magic in his duel with Cowl, however he didn't mention it as far as Kumori went, he also describes a nauseating greasy feel one gets when black magic is sent one's way. If Peabody was using it at all the other wizards would have figured it out very quickly.
Bad Alias:
Mind Control is black magic. See Proven Guilty, Chs. 5, 40, 42.

Mind control and making a mind vulnerable to suggestion by way of a potion are not quite the same, as in a love potion. Mind control is physically going into someone's mind with your mind to manipulate him or her. Peabody didn't do that, the ink made the person vulnerable to suggestion, he never went into anyone's mind like Molly did. That is how he was able to get away with it for so many years.

What Peabody did in Luccio’s mind went quite far and he did all kind of things with young wizzards minds.
