Objective: Students will compete against one another in single combat. This is to assess the students magical skill and knowledge, not their ability to wield a sword.
~ Headmaster Marfu
The Dark Arts: Supernatural means of inflicting pain and misfortune on others. A few items related to dark magic include shrunken skulls, hangman's rope, and poisonous candles. Some distinguish the dark arts as "black magic", and the beneficial charms and cures with magic as "white magic." Some suggest that the the battle between white and dark magic is an expression of man's nature to choose to do good, but also harm.
