Dark Magic

A neutral Element, it deals equal damage to all other element types besides Light. It's both super effective and weak against Light. Dark Eden has a natural property of "absorbing" or "overriding," which means it's good at attracting other elements and commanding them. Its spells tend to affect the mind rather than the physical world and it is one of the elements that can be used to manipulate another person's Eden. Dark is a passive element that only one with a trained mind can utilize. Often, if an unfit mage attempts to use the element, nothing would happen. Additionally, if someone walked into an area full of dense Dark Eden, their Eden may be drained due to the Dark Eden's siphoning nature. Ironically, much of the world's richest Eden-filled materials are often found in highly concentrated Dark Eden areas.

History[]

In the past, scholars believed dark eden to by synonymous with Abyss rifts due to the seemingly "devouring" nature of both the abyss and areas of concentrated dark eden. After further research, scientists discovered that dark eden attracted clumps of other elemental eden, crystalizing them instead of reducing them, which separated it from the effects of Abyss rifts.

Shadow Play[]

The ability to manipulate the forms of shadows. The amount of shadow you have depends on how much light there is. Usually, less light give you more shadow to use. To manipulate your shadow, first think of a new form in your head and recite :

Incantation:

< Meus Umbra Vetro >

According to the textbook, your shadows are still 2D and cannot be manipulated in the environment.

Night Vision[]

Shadow Materialization[]

This spell allows you to make your shadow tangible and detached from your body. Depending on the time of day, the body casts a larger shadow. Clearly, the closer to night, the longer your shadow. Dawn and dusk are the best times, as the low sun casts a long shadow. At night, you will need some source of light in order to evoke the power of the shadows. Why? Because you can only use your own shadow for this spell and you can't use your own shadow if you can't see it. The second limitation is size - you will need the rest of your shadow to power the one you send out. Thus, the smaller the shadow you materialize, the longer it lasts. This spell can only be used once per day. Your shadow will rejuvenate at dawn the next day. This spell is based on the basic principle learned in the previous lesson. Close your eyes and gather your dark eden the way you've done it many times before. Feel it gather inside your core, racing along your veins. Feel the darkness seep into your very being. Now catch and follow the link you have to your own shadow. It's special. Unique. Then, shove that ball of power down your link with your shadow!

Incantation:

< Live, my shadow! >

Why is this spell useful? The answer: Shadows are everywhere! They can protect you, call for help, retrieve small objects, and even act as your spy. Finally, since your shadows are a part of you, you cannot send them more than a 100ft. radius from your body.

Please take note of the following:

The incantation is "Live, my shadow," and it can be said in any language. Silent incantation is possible, but very difficult.

The shadow you materialize will change into whatever shape you want (but not size-- as mentioned above, size depends on you when you first say the spell).
Shadows cannot hear.

Your materialized shadow will not be attached to your body.

You can only materialize ONE shadow.

Shadow Cloak[]

Gives the user 100% physical & magical immunity in all areas covered by the shadows. Simply find your core and draw upon your power to pull the shadows made by the objects around you into your body. There is no incantation. After you've gathered a cloud of shadows, link them into your core, concentrate to spread the shadow evenly across your body. The invisibility lasts for a maximum of 5 minutes. You can only use it once per day. Your core will not survive being linked to the shadows a second time if it hasn't had time to recover.
