Darkling (Sword of Fury)

Darkling (デビラーマン, Devilerman) is a special transformation in Dokapon! Sword of Fury. 
There are two ways to become the Darkling:
*Use a Contract when the player has a Dark Mark, which is obtained by being in the last place for 3 consecutive weeks without entering an alliance. This lets the player transform into the Darkling for days equal to the number of weeks passed (e.g. the player gets to use the dark power for 21 days if they make the deal in the 21st week) and requires the player to sacrifice everything in their possession besides treasures (including bank deposit).
*Encounter Dark Merchant Weber special event and agree to make a deal with him. He can offer to turn any player into a Darkling, not just the player in the last place. It last for 10 days and requires the player to sacrifice everything in the possession besides treasures and bank deposit. Note that this event does not happen during an alliance.
There can be more than one Darkling on the field.
==Powers and Abilities==
The Darkling's base parameters becomes 3 times of their normal self after the transformation and they have a set of Darkling equipments, Banish and Mirror Magic as their equipments. In the overworld, they can move with the effect of Super Spinner. When landing in a player-owned village or an empty village, the Darkling can summon a monster to it and get experience points equal to how much that monster will give, which will be given to the adventurer after they win a battle after their transformation ends; when landing in a village that's already occupied by a monster, the Darkling will be fully healed. The Darkling cannot enter a village occupied by a monster if they're inflicted with the Afraid status, nor can they enter any village without monsters if there is a Strike event.
The Darkling can land on item, magic, ? and safe spaces or buildings but they'll do nothing. The Darkling can visit a Temple or the Dokapon Castle to end the transformation early.
The Darkling can still get gold, items and field magic during the transformation (like from treasures or robbed from other players), but will not be able to use them. They will also not be invited in various events (sport events, Tenkaichi, etc), nor will they be asked by the God or Goddess to give other players goods or form an alliance with them. They are also not affected by Inner Mixer.
It's possible to pass a Blackmail to a Darkling; they will receive it, but will not be able to use it until the transformation ends.
During a battle against a Darkling, neither the normal adventurer or the Darkling can Surrender. Upon defeating an adventurer that has a higher level than the Darkling, the Darkling will get experience points and level up on spot. The Darkling can still take goods from the adventurer after defeating them, except for villages and equipments; however, the Darkling can throw away other adventurers' equipments after defeating them.
==Dark Aura==
Every turn, the Darkling gets a small amount of Dark Aura, which can be spent on Darkling events (up to 100 DA can be stored):
Lv.	Name 	Cost	Description
1 	Land Warp 	10 	Instantly warps to the Dokapon Castle or a temple. The Darkling's turn does not end after this.
2 	Debilitate 	20 	Inflicts a random status effect on all other players. It can be dodged and blocked with a Magic Mirror.
3 	Rough Up 	30 	Sets all other players' HP to 1. It can be dodged.
4 	Keep Moving 	40 	Closes all item, magic and loot spaces.
5 	Worker Strike 	50 	Closes all shops.
6 	Regression 	60 	Downgrades all villages/towns/cities in the current continent.
7 	Army Attack 	70 	Summons monsters to all towns in the current continent.

9 	Market Crash 	90 	Gets the deposit of all other players.
10 	Great Army Attack	100 	Summons monsters to all towns around the world.
In the case of multiple Darklings, other Darklings are not affected by Keep Moving or Worker Strike, but can be affected by Debilitate and Rough Up.
In the remaster, it's possible to decide the Dark Aura growth of the Darkling in the secret ingredients option:
