How it's used
Often used in casual conversation to describe suspicious or unexplainable behavior that seems manipulative or uncanny. While it literally refers to occult practices, it frequently appears in hyperbolic contexts to describe someone who has an unnatural ability to influence others or achieve success through questionable means.
Examples
I heard he knows black magic, so you better not offend him.
Where did you learn this kind of black magic? It's so terrifying.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 魔法, which is typically associated with fantasy, games, or stage performances. 邪術 carries a strong negative connotation of malice and forbidden knowledge.
