"Need review into writer's bad spelling" (5,5)

I have B?A?? ???I? I can only think of BRAIN DRAIN, but see no connection with the clue. It seems a particularly difficult crosswrord this month and this solution might get me going again.

Black Magic?

Question Author
My word! That's complicated. A cryptic clue to an anagram that has to be solved, while the "spell" is a shower of rain?? And no definition word in the clue? I think I'll be going back to the Daily Telegraph crossword. Thank you, anyway.
Mag = review ?
Question Author
Thank you both for the suggestions. I'll have to see if I can progress elsewhere in the grid and come back to this one later.
Captain2 has it with 'Black magic'
Thanks Toorak and LiK

Why didn't I see Mag(azine) as a review? ;0)))
Question Author
OK! Black Magic, it is. Ironically, the first prize is a Chambers Thesaurus!!!! Thank you all, again.
