"Death is no stranger to those who seek the path. These are the words given to us by the gods. To say they're meaningless is blasphemy!"

Magelord Barkan's speech to the High Council of Mages.

Magic of Coroleya

In the world of Coroleya there are fifteen types of Magic. Five can only be used by those innately gifted with magic. Five can only be used by those who've bound a part of their soul to the demonic forces that lie beneath the surface of Coroleya, and five can only be used by the followers of the Lightbearer, who grants his most devoted followers the gift of magic.

As a Dark Mage, you may study one of the five forms of Dark Magic to aid you in battle. Unlike most other spells you may gain along the way, you can only use each of the spells you've studied once per chapter.

(The five forms of Dark Magic are Death Magic, Shadow Arts, Summoning Arts, Blood Magic, and the Power of Demons.)

Death Magic

Death Magic is the study of death itself and the many ways to accomplish it.

Blood of the Ancestors

Ignited by the blood of your Ancestors, you draw their strength into you, and use it as your own. (+ 50 Resilience. + 50 Magical Resistance.)

Blood Reckoning

Drain the very life force of all those around you to gain untold power. (+ 150 Health points.)

Blood Mist

Rain down death upon your enemies with a mist of blood that burns through armor and flesh like acid. (- 40 Weapon Damage.)

Shadow Arts

The Shadow Arts focus your talents toward the shadows and smoke.

Shadow's Illusion

Use the shadows to blend in with the darkness and strike from nowhere. (Slay any opponent instantly, except for Boss Level Creatures such as Dragons, Giants, etc.)

Shadow Blades

Take down an army of enemies with a single flick of your wrist, releasing hundreds of blades formed of darkness into your enemy. (- 60 Weapon Damage.)

Shadow's Strength

Increase your Health, Resilience and Magical Resistance in a temporary boost of strength that enhances all of your attributes. (+ 30 Resilience, + 30 Health points, and + 30 Magical Resistance.)

Summoning Arts

Summon allies to fight and die for you.

Summon the Sentient Blade

Summon the Undead Zombie

Summon the Fire Elemental

Blood Magic

Access untold power by wielding your own life force as a weapon.

Bathed in Blood

Bath your weapon in your own blood and increase its damage. (- 20 Weapon Damage added to any weapon.)

Boiled Alive

Boil the blood of your enemies, so that they die in extreme agony. (Any damage received is reduced by half.)

Black Fire

Create flames that cannot be quenched. (- 50 Weapon Damage.)

Power of Demons (Only Available to Demons.)

It is rumored that after years of studying and using the demonic energies within the land, the dark mages become partially demons themselves with much of their humanity taken away from them. Some would say it is a fair price to pay to view the world through their eyes.
