Magic and Witchcraft are two different things.
Not according to webster.
witchcraft - 1 a. the use of sorcery or
magic 2. communiction with the devil or with a familiar
And witchcraft is a sin as rebellion is compared to the "sin of witchcraft" in the bible
1 Samual 15:23 For rebellion is
as the sin of witchcraft,...
Witchcraft is evil, in the site of the lord.
In 2 Chronicles 33:2 it says that Manasseh " did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD." In the following verses it list a bunch of things that were evil in the site of the lord. Part of that was 33:6
And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards

It doesn't show any of the ritual summonings of pagan magic.
Now THAT has to be the BEST argument for playing warcraft I've ever heard. Well, I guess maybe just put the best way. See the thing is, I'm not familiar with "Pagan" magic. So when I see witchcraft, which includes magic in it's definition, I look at it in a broad sense. So in that respects I could be wrong for rebuking WoW.
But, the verses just says magic, not pagan magic. I think assuming it's pagan magic is an ok assumption, but so is assuming all magic.
So you got me thinking here a little bit. Guess it's time to put "pagam" magic on my long list of things to study
