Description: The Dark Arts, also known as Dark Magic, refers to any type of magic that is mainly used to cause harm, control, or even death to the victim. The Dark Arts are not necessarily "evil", just because it's labelled "dark". While the Dark Arts have a bad reputation, overall, dark magic is not, by definition, "evil" magic. A Dark spell is primarily defined as any spell that consistently affects the object in a negative manner, usually associated with varying levels of discomfort.
Dark spells can be classified into three groups: jinxes, hexes, & curses. These groups form a hierarchy, with jinxes at the base, hexes in-between, and curses at the top. The further one ascends up this hierarchy, the more wicked, the stronger, the longer-lasting and the less reversible the Dark spell's effects appear to be.
S rank
Sectumsempra Curse: - Defensive/Offensive
- Sectumsempra ( Sectumsempra ) is a curse whose effect is the equivalent of an "invisible" sword; it is used to slash the victim from a distance, causing rather deep wounds. The slash follows the user's wand movements to release a jet of black energy. The jet of energy travels from the wand, towards the intended target, and cuts into them to deal a deep wound upon contact. Due to the depths of the cut, the victim’s run the risk of dying from blood loss if medic treatment is not applied in time, if the wounds are not instantly fatal. Though the aforementioned medjutsu may heal the wounds and may prevent scars, any body parts that have been severed by this curse cannot be grown back ( a trait of dark magic's permanent effects ). This can only be used 4 times, each with a two turn usage limit in between uses. This also can only be used up to mid range, it's effectiveness and lethality raised through closeness. After using, the user cannot use S rank Dark Arts and higher next turn.
Note: Nearly all Dark Arts take the form of projectiles of mahou, and can be defended against like any other jutsu. For those that do not need to physically travel, their methods of defense varies based on the spell used.
Note: S rank applications are usable only by Year 5 Kisei and higher, A rank by Year 4, etc.
Note: Dark Wizards can use Hexes and Curses while Light Wizards can only use Jinxes.
Note: Specific restrictions for each spell are listed in each’s description.
