I don't think it was ever mentioned that Evangeline actually uses this technique presently. As for negative emotions, that's unknown. Personally, I don't think it's absolutely necessary. Near the end of Negi's little test in the Phantasmagoria, he didn't use mainly negative emotions to beat Evangeline. He had come to the realization that his true strength must come from his acceptance of all his feelings (good or bad) and experiences, instead of pushing them away with denial and locking them up.

However, as we've seen Negi go into overdrive when angered (before learning dark magic), I'm sure there could be something terrifying with pure anger mixed with Magia Erebea.
