Many, including Magicians as well as the un-gifted, think the use of Dark Magic is illegal and forbidden - either because of their own belief system or the influential power of media. This is not the case though, and many Magicians do actually study some form of Dark Magic, even if few will be open about this. Those who openly admit this are more likely to be those Magicians who understand Dark Magic enough not to be scared by it, that have enough knowledge to be an authority or are confident that no-one can do anything about it. And then there are those who use nothing but Dark Magic and so cannot effectively hide it.

Because the use of the Dark Arts is not forbidden there is nothing to stop people learning and using dangerous and sometimes even lethal curses and hexes against others. Mentors are crucial here, and may choose to withhold such information because of fear. Most, it seems though, would actually be willing to teach what they know of the Dark Arts, and yet, because people are afraid of such powers, they are not often learned. It should be noted here, that those who refuse the learning of any of the arts actually hamper their own ability to become great in the future.

The worst moral law to break is not the use of lethal magic – and most do not have the power needed to end a life anyway -but the use of magic to create life. Those who use their power to create life are breaking this singular sacred law and so become cursed. The life they have created will be dark and terrible and bring darkness upon others.
