Black Magic

Black Magic is a magic type of the forbidden Arcane House. It is the more malevolent iteration of Dark Magic, many times more lethal.

Almost universally forbidden, Black Magic rarely exists anywhere but in secret. Black Mages are actively hunted, more so than any other magic type. The slightest whisper of Black Magic can often result in rigorous investigations.

Black Magic is staggeringly powerful, and often described as "hungry" or "ravenous." Though it grants much power, the cost is immense, and almost always results in The Devouring, which may take form in corruption, twisting, death, or a torturous combination of all three.
Sub-categories of Black Magic include blood magic, sadism, death magic, sacrifices, bone magic, ritualism, necromancy, cost magic, and more.
