MYTH

Dark Arts

Capabilities

User can utilize the Dark Art: a form of magic typically used for selfish, self-serving and/or nefarious purposes. Though it is not necessarily "evil" magic per se, dark arts tend to focus toward destruction, harming, cursing and otherwise complicating the lives of other people while advancing the user's own state. Users often reject social convention and the status quo, which some suggest is in a search for spiritual freedom. As a part of this, they embrace magical techniques and practices that would traditionally be viewed as taboo and are generally willing to go farther than most would even consider if it serves their ends.

Limitations

May be highly addictive and leave the user susceptible to negative influences.
Dark magic tends to get out of hand even if treated with respect.
White Arts may be especially effective against this power.
