I wouldn't necessarily say the magic makes them crazy. That seems to be part of what happened with Granny Rags, but for people like Daud and Delilah it means the realization of all they ever dreamed. They didn't have to compromise, or learn to deal with their anger or jealousy in a constructive way--they could just take whatever they wanted. Martin and Sokolov sum this up pretty well: when you have the power to do so, doing evil deeds for your own benefit "becomes a habit" eventually, and "everything else is mere detail."
