Phantom Storm

Phantom Storm is the name of the dark magic summoning spell that draws out the legendary Phantom Dragon that will support its master in a magic battle. Phantom Dragons (or Phantom Drakes) are creatures of a less common encounter, only manifesting from the summoning ability or within a powerful dark zone. Unlike other summoning spells, Phantom Dragons cannot be linked to a wielder simply by practicing this spell. Instead, the wielder who practices strongly with the Phantom Storm summoning technique must get lucky when their spell does invoke properly and is capable of shifting the phasic dimensions of a nearby spatially located Phantom Dragon. Luckily, these dragons prefer to roam under magic veils, and are therefore less common in the area outside veil zero. Once called out, that wielder must then defeat the Phantom Dragon in a single battle as part of an ancient trial. If the wielder is successful in defeating the creature with intense malice and power, the Phantom Dragon will mentally link with that wielder and join their journey for the remainder of that wielder's days. Phantom Storm is a dark magic ability as well as a summoning ability, so intense anger and hatred must be infused into the invocation of the ability each time it is used, weather a phantom dragon is linked or not.
When the wielder begins to invoke this spell, a massive vertical glyphring spawns high in the sky, and retains a near-black shadowy color. Due to the infusion of dark magic, the wielder's hands and eyes glow red with the glowing eye effect in relation to dark magic. As this spell completes its activation past the point where it cannot be shutdown, the entire atmosphere of the sky within a 9 kilometer radius (horizontal space) fills with a potent storm of clouds as dark as death that slowly swirl around to a central area right above the glyphring location. This storm does not generate any rain or strong winds, but it does accrue some amount of lightning, while darkening the sky so strongly - no other environmental aura spell can possibly counter it. Additionally, if the Phantom Drake is called out in the middle of a dark zone, its entire endurance and power levels will double in effect. Once the black particles all form together the large body of the phantom dragon, the summon links to the wielder (or battles that wielder if unlinked) using dark magic abilities, marking it as the only kind of dragon that can use dark magic in the first place. A very strong summoning aura and controlled internal rage will be needed to control such a powerful summon.

Manifestation

See description above. Phantom Dragons are fairly larger than all other elemental drakes, so they are more often called dragons than drakes. In name, there is no difference since most wielders shift between the nomenclature without thinking. This dark dragon has a dark black skin and glowing eyes that shift in color between red and yellow. It can also phase its own body at will, changing the physical composition of the vessel to achieve greater defensive and offensive results. The dark storm generated by the spell blocks out a lot of exterior light from the sun and the moon, so to make it harder for humans to see while easier for the dragon to see in the darkness it was born from. This black storm has a swirling effect at the center that takes most of everyone's gazes since it is so rarely seen and unnatural.

Phantom Dragons employ powerful dark magic spells on their own or under the command of their masters. They are in question weak only to other dark magic spells, and to some degree non-elemental magic abilities. They are pretty much resistant to all elemental abilities, immune to a few of that selection.
