The AYA says:
And they followed for themselves what the satans (beings, people or otherwise that pull people from the right place) followed on the rule of Solomon. Solomon did not cover (from GOD’s message), but the Satans did. They teach the people how to deceit (the senses as in magic and otherwise) and whatever was sent to the two messengers in Babel Haroot and Maroot. And they (the two) were not teaching anyone until they say: “We are but trickery (that requires hard tests to clear), so do not cover (yourself from GOD’s orders and messages, with this knowledge), so they learn from them what divides between a man and his partner, and they are not harming by it of anyone except with the knowledge of the GOD. And they learn what will harm them and not benefit them, and they have known that whoever takes it will not have resources in the hereafter, and hardship is what they have taken for themselves if they knew.

My personal note:
There are important messages that come from this and one is the definition of Satan: one who takes you from your right place and it can be human or non human. It also mentions that magic is the deceit of the senses and therefore the message here is the honesty in dealing and in presenting things to people, and that learning how to deceit people is one of the very few forms of knowledge that are harmful to the person that learns and the person that is the sufferer from it.

The aya also reminds us that all happens with GOD’s knowledge and reminds us that the people that harm other people are in fact harming themselves.
