DARK ARTS
There is no place so dangerous as a world without magic
– Terry Goodkind
Dark Arts, the most misunderstood of the magical arts
What is dark and what is light, truly? And can we see one without the other?
Students will explore difficult and complex subject matter including necromancy, curses, blood magic, consent, ethics, binding spells, compelling magic, cursed objects, and more.
*Intended only for open minded students ready to face the most uncomfortable questions in magic.
Mastery Track
The purpose of this track is not to generate malevolent magics and dark lords, but to explore why these practices are considered dark at all.
Is there such thing as the ethical use of dark magic?
