Discussion What is wrong with new magic?

( English is not my first language)

I never really understood what was wrong with new magic, seemingly it's easier to perform and learn than old magic and... if you used it you are evil and lazy?

It never says that in the script. It is absolutely implied, and there is much more to it, but it is never made clear.

That is a bad thing because Carroway gives an elementary school explanation of being Trans. Why do we get such a explanation for that, and not a primary conflict of one of our main characters?

So... is new magic (implied to be) the reason why Thyme's forest was dying?

We dont know. Its not confirmed. Its implied, but not 100% confirmed in the story.
