Dark magic refers to the use of supernatural powers or practices that are often associated with malevolent intentions. It is commonly depicted in folklore, literature, and popular culture as a means to manipulate or control others, summon spirits, or cause harm. Dark magic is often contrasted with white magic, which is believed to be used for benevolent purposes. Throughout history, various cultures have had their own interpretations of dark magic, often linked to witchcraft or sorcery. Practitioners may use rituals, spells, or potions to achieve their goals. The concept raises ethical questions about the use of power and the consequences of one's actions in the pursuit of personal gain.
