Lacking consent to value white magic (7,5)
I believe the answer is:
without leave
'value white magic' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'lacking consent' is the wordplay.
'lacking' becomes 'without' (I've seen this before).
'consent' becomes 'leave' (I've seen this before).
'without'+'leave'='WITHOUT LEAVE'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
