Dark Magic

Dark magic is a form of magic used by sorcerers with evil intentions, for sinister purposes. Although magic itself is basically neutral, its morality is determined by how it is used and what are the motives behind the actions of a sorcerer.

However, there are some applications of magic and some spells which are used only with the purpose of doing evil or inflicting harm upon someone.

The main applications are:
 * The use of poppets to inflict pain on the person that the doll represents (The Dragon's Call).
 * The creation of an Afanc with the plague this creature's venom produces (The Mark of Nimueh).
 * Necromancy (Excalibur, The Sins of the Father, The Fires of Idirsholas, The Tears of Uther Pendragon: Part Two, Lancelot du Lac).
 * Enchanting a mandrake root to traumatize the spell's victim with hallucinations (The Tears of Uther Pendragon).
 * The ability of possessing someone (The Curse of Cornelius Sigan, Goblin's Gold, The Changeling, A Herald of the New Age).
 * The use of a Phoenix Eye, binding it to a person's likeness (The Eye of the Phoenix).
 * The Cup ritual that can give someone immortality (The Coming of Arthur: Part One).
 * The blood sacrifice performed by the High Priestesses of the Old Religion to release the Dorocha (The Darkest Hoor: Part One).
 * The enchantment Morgana cast on her pendant, binding it to the left hand path, so that it would counteract any healing magic (The Wicked Day).
