Re: The curse of Isildur...
Dude, I don't recall sayin that the power of Melkor was like totally evil.
In fact Tolkien states that even things done in malice shall be like turned to good by will of Eru's design.
You're thinkin black and white magic. Far as I know those are false assumptions based upon labelization.
As much as I can determine, Elves, Men and even Gandalf use Dominance magic too. Again; near as I can tell from what Tolkien has written on the subject, Magic is an ART, not a means of expressin alignment. 'Magic' of the two types known to be given by Tolkien has the taint of Melkor, but that don't make it truly evil. One can do like unnatural things with it. Yup.
Ok; I can see this'll prolly need further examination.
Anyplace you'd like it or will stayin in this thread be acceptable?
