On general terms:
mantra can be anything that is recited endlessly: amitabuddha, jehovah, knnbccb...etc....
sutras are books based on certain teachings: lotus, kama, prajnaramita...etc...

I agree with AEN but i have a concern....how do u know the magnitude of the spell? And some severe black magic casted on a person may be a challenge to remove.

Best to seek advise from a Master in this case.

Mantras are shorter and easier to chant outside.

AEN will tell you that black magic is an illusion and is temporal. Knowing the way of the dharma being the sole truth will remove the black magic.

Actually if you are a deeply experienced practitioner, then black magic can't affect you.
However not everyone are deeply experienced practitioners.

No, if you don't exist, then black magic can never affect you. Why? Black magic is created to only affect the living.

If you don't believe, and its true, it'll happen nonetheless.
If you believe, and it's not true, it'll not happen nonetheless.
What happens, happens regardless of belief. What don't happen, don't happens, regardless of belief.

Master Chin Kong at youtube said if we practise the dhamma faithfully, dhamma protectors will protect you, so you do not have to worry about curses or black magic.

What I'm saying is your statement that black magic can't affect dead people does not contradict my statement that highly cultivated practitioners cannot be affected by them. Both are true.

Why do you not worry? As in physics, energy cannot be created nor can it be destroyed. If we fool with a person's mind, every small thought can be magnified into the person's worst nightmare.

No, unless the same practitioners are also dead else they can be affected.

Psychological hocus-pocus. The idea is to screw with your logic.
