You already acknowledge that sorcery, witchcraft etc. is an abomination to the Lord so I won't paste all the several passages which state that. If this is so, why would a Christian enjoy fantasizing about something he knows the Lord hates. I may not actually murder someone, but I dare say pretending to do so and fantasizing about it is sinful. We must hate what is sinful thoroughly in order that we may fill our minds with those things that are holy (Philippians 4.8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.)

For what it's worth, I think we are too soft on "entertainment" that casually accepts violence and other "sketchy elements".
