This is entirely reasonable if we analogize it to how fiction often approaches it. There might be some evil book, a necronomicon, or killing spells like in Harry Potter. In many fictional media, people are allowed to learn such spells, they're just not allowed to say the spells out loud. Reading and writing a spell is not the same as saying it and thereby executing it.
