A "Dark Wizard" is a fictional character often depicted in fantasy literature and media. These wizards typically possess powerful magical abilities and use them for malevolent purposes, such as casting curses, summoning dark creatures, or seeking domination over others. They are often portrayed as antagonists in stories, representing the struggle between good and evil. In many narratives, Dark Wizards are associated with symbols of darkness, such as black robes, skulls, and dark magic. They may have a backstory that explains their descent into darkness, often involving betrayal, loss, or a thirst for power. Examples of Dark Wizards can be found in works like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series and J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium.
