Look, it's very simple. It wasn't the magic that was evil or, in this specific case, disturbed and disordered. It was the person who was bathed in the magic. The raw and unfocussed magic simply took what was there and did with it according to its nature.

BTW - I think that the portals wouldn't have opened if the amulet hadn't absorbed the energy in the statue plinth, thus creating a 'template' around which it could express itself.
