* In [[G. K. Chesterton]]'s [[Father Brown]] story "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131010042845/http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/c/chesterton/gk/c52fb/chapter30.html The Dagger with Wings]," a character talks of using white magic against his enemy. {{spoiler|Father Brown deduces from the way he talks, philosophically, that he is the enemy, and he has already murdered the man he is posing as.}}
{{quote|''"It is true that by studying magic he fell at last under the blight of black magic; the [[Black Magic]] of this scoundrel Strake. But my brothers were wrong about the antidote. The antidote to black magic is not brute materialism or worldly wisdom. The antidote to black magic is white magic."
"It rather depends," said Father Brown, "what you mean by white magic."
