==Capabilities==
The user can utilize the Dark Arts, a malevolent system of techniques that is based around a darker side of magic typically used for selfish, self-serving and/or nefarious purposes. Though it is not necessarily "evil" magic, dark arts tend to focus on destruction, harming, cursing and otherwise complicating the lives of other beings while advancing the user's own state, occasionally with negative consequences.
Users often reject social convention and the status quo, which some suggest is in a search for spiritual freedom. As a part of this, they embrace magical techniques and practices that would traditionally be viewed as taboo and are generally willing to go farther than most would even consider if it served their ends.
