Welcome to Realm of the Dark Arts, the secret and forbidden class of the Trackers School of Magic.
You are older and finally ready to learn about the very deep and ancient secrets known as the "Dark Arts".
Is it Defense or Something More?
The first day you arrive at class you realize this is very different from your normal studies in magic. You are asked to find and craft a new wand, one that calls forth an odd and mysterious power!
As time goes by you begin to question the allegiances of many of your fellow students, even some of your instructors. You start to ask yourself the terrifying question, "Am I here to learn about defense or am I becoming part of the Dark Arts themselves?"
A Curriculum of Dark Winds and Shadows
In this class you learn the unspeakable curses and spells along with creating protective wards and sigils in defense against them. Your wizard battles are about stepping off of the defense and moving into the more powerful offensive magical strikes.
You practice meditation in order to steel yourself against the temptation of the dark path. But the student must beware, you may be recruited to become a Havok Maker for the mainstream studies of The Trackers School of Magic.
A Muddled Truth
Finally we also define White and Black magic. What are they? Are they truly real measures of the world? Could the Dark Arts simply be a twisted version of different kind of older, more primal magick? Could it somehow relate to the ancient and mysterious "Dark Winds" and "The Curriculum of Shadows"? Could the White Magic reveal it's own sinister edge?
Find the answers to these questions and more as you we invite you to our new and edgy course of study, The School of Magic: Realm of the Dark Arts!
