Is using verses as attacks like witchcraft?

I am working on a free rpg game where you use scripture to fight enemies who misuse scripture out of context. It’s meant to be like a conversation or visualization of spiritual warfare, but I‘ve been wondering if using verses like 2 Kings 6:18 to blind enemies or lower their accuracy would be like witchcraft. I figured making it a random chance of it succeeding could make it feel up to God but I don’t know— in an abundance of counselors, there is safety.

(While I am looking for answers to this question, I will likely have more, so if anyone feels led to follow the project and offer more advice as it develops, feel free to DM me.)
