Think about it. If it were so easy to simply cast a "reversal" spell to take back any spells we may have sent out, wouldn't that be grounds for Witches to do whatever it is we want without thinking, or using moral ethics?
My favorite quote, but I'm unsure about who said it:
"Words, like bullets, cannot be taken back"
The reason I stress responsibility is so that I think before I act. Any spell, regardless of if it's a positive spell or a curse, I think long and hard about it. Is it really necessary? Do I really need to do this or is there something else I can do? Thinking before you act saves the need for "reversal" spells. If you determine the need before hand, you don't NEED "reversal" spells. Reversal spells should keep their place in fictional books, and out of the minds of legitimate Witches trying to maintain their practice in a world filled with fictional ideas about this legitimate practice.
**UPDATE**
I just want to clarify. There is a difference between a reversal spell, and breaking a spell. A reversal spell suggests that one is able to reverse whatever spell they put out, perhaps out of guilt or lost desire and return things to the way they were before the spell was cast. Once a spell is cast, a spell is cast. Breaking a spell is somewhat different. It suggests that the caster (or another caster) is able to stop the spell from completing it's progress, not reversing it's effects. I think there's some confliction there as to whether or not I can agree that this too is possible. A spell must run its course when cast, but I don't necessarily see a reason why someone can't "build a wall" in front of the spell's energy to block it from reaching it's completion.
