Dark Magic

Dark Magic is a legendary form of magic which allows user to manipulate darkness. Users can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows. It can be crafted into various shapes/forms as well as be applied to various different circumstances and is considerably noted as a powerful form of magic. By itself, darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total darkness, but by accessing a dimension of dark energy it can be channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light and a solid substance: one can also control and manipulate the beings that exist there, create and dispel shields and areas of total darkness, create constructs and weapons, teleport one's self through massive distances via shadows.

Strengths

 * Dark mages have a "shadow" figure following them and is always lurking wherever they go, always there to aid them. It is a shadow of themselves, and although it cannot communicate, it can move.

Weaknesses

 * A dark mage is at their strongest during the night and in the dark, when they are exposed to bright daylight, they are somewhat weaker and cannot use their magic as freely.
 * Dark magic, because of how little cats practice in it, is much harder to learn and adapt, leaving lots of room for trial and error.
