LV *has* already used ancient magic in a very dark way - his revival
potion in the end of GoF (not an exact quote): "it's a piece of old
magic, the potion that revived me tonight..." All the "bone of the
father" etc. sounds pretty ancient to me.
So there is ancient dark magic. As for morally neutral magic, I
can't really see how that can work. It seems to me that ancient
magic needs some sort of emotional or magical base, that does not
allow the spell to stay morally neutral.
Just a thought...
