A while ago a different commenter asked you about protective talismans that reflect negative magic back at the caster, and you replied this can bring negative karma to you. You suggested it was better to have a protective talisman which simply removed the malefic energy rather than reflect it.

Where does the malefic energy actually go, if energy can't be created or destroyed? Wouldn't you have a build-up of this energy? And can you plan where this energy goes during the consecration of the talisman?
