No you see, it’s ok if they die of secondary causes. Just so long as the magic power didn’t do the kill, only the stuff afterwards.

For example, if I shoot you with a laser beam? Killing. If I shoot a laserbeam at a cliff that causes and avalanche? That’s not killing you just happened to die from an avalanche.

Liberals literally conceive of a lot of violence this way. It’s why social murder isn’t murder to them.
