Deep Magic

What is the magic of the Emperor as the witch understands it? How does Edmund fit into this? What is the deeper magic she didn't know about?

The deeper magic she didn't know about, I think, is the law of sacrifice. The atonement.

I think it is power. The witch wants power and when the children of Adam and Eve appear in Narnia she knows there is a prophecy that they will save Narnia. Edmund is in search of power over his siblings and so is a tool in the witch's hands to get rid of the chance of the prophecy to come to pass. She thinks that by killing Aslan she will have all power and stop the children but she doesn't know about "atonement"...giving one's life for another gave Aslan back his life and saved Narnia.
