A Darker Shade Of Magic Series Novels & Stories

"His refusal to leave... it gave the rot claws." She began a low, guttural chant, her fingers tracing a jagged seal in the air. Only Veda knew the dark magic required to contain a stain this deep—magic that didn't just push the dark away, but locked it in. A pulse of violet-black light flared across the threshold, sealing the room.

Jacob scanned the room in confusion only to realize that the confusion was not universal. "It means the future at that exact point is changing constantly." Ann rolled her eyes in distress -- how could some moron like him deserve this kind of power instead of her?! "I saw magic power flow into The Shadow, not like a river but HUGE flood, the world-consuming kind of flood." Hank signed, "But most of the times it was in the color of pure black, and only a few times was it light." "Black magic?!" Jacob yelled, "That means--" "Yes. Most magic covens use light magic," Hank nodded heavily, "But there ARE clans of dark magic that exist out there. Secret ones. They are dangerous and mysterious. Their

She slammed a book on the coffee table in front of me causing me to flinch. "Sorry, I forgot. Werewolf hearing," she said sheepishly, "Now let's see. There is something about you here, about your dark magic powers, all the answers and special abilities." "Did you say dark magic?" "Yes, Emerald after me you are the next queen of dark magic, more stronger and to open that chapter of your life ,first you have to break the curse." I was the next queen of dark magic, ,unbelievable, now I have always wondered why I was able to remove the evil out of people which wasn't one if the special abilities of a werewolf.

, I said standing tall straighten my shoulders, I could see Damien in the back shaking his head, he already knew I had the shield up. "You cant handle my best shot", Maggie replied with a smug look. "If you say so, try me", I said hugging my shoulders. "Ich fordere die macht der dunklen magie im inneren auf, sich zu entwickeln, Asche zu Asche, staub zu staub bringen dieses madchen zu bode, wo sie herkam", (I called on the power of the dark magic inside to come forward, Ashes to ashes, dust to dust return this girl to the ground where she came from)Maggie chanted, the air around us changed, I looked at her while she was chanting, her eyes closed and she was focus, but I knew nothing will happ

Their black armor, etched with silver runes, shimmered beneath the lantern light. My heart thrummed with power as I stepped forward, cloak swirling like a ripple of night. The scent of my minions, this legion of darkness washed over me in waves: leather, steel, earth. I felt the familiar surge of magic coursing through my veins, the heady rush that came with absolute control. Tonight, we would unleash the first wave of my dark creatures upon the Crimson Moon pack. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, savouring the moment before the storm.

“Their physical scent was hidden from me, but I could detect the scent of their magic. It was extremely noticeable. It smelt like decay. Whoever this makkari is, their magic isn’t like other makkares. There was no light within it as far as I could tell, just darkness. It was powerful but twisted. Makkari magic isn’t supposed to be like that.” “Okay, so maybe if I reach out to the High Priestess and ask her to scry for dark magic,” he suggests. “Or maybe ask Gabriella to zero in on a makkari without light. Those should be easy, like looking for a snake in a room full of birds.”

Zoe rolled up the edge of her shirt, revealing the faint, almost invisible scratch on her side. But as Marella’s fingers hovered over the wound, Zoe felt a sudden, searing heat. She bit back a gasp, her hand clenching the fabric of her pants. “Ah,” Marella said, her tone grim. “This magic is indeed dark, twisted. It’s subtle, designed to infect slowly, eating away at your strength over time.” Sara paled, moving closer. “Can you… can you remove it?”

Damien’s grip tightened on her wrist. “Not alone,” he said. “I won’t be,” she answered. The sickly glow beneath the cracked circle pulsed again, brighter now, illuminating the underside of broken granite in warped shadows. It was not the clean silver of wolf magic. Not the burnished gold of ancient rites. It was something like moss left too long in darkness. Something that had learned to grow without light. The Council began shouting orders. “Reinforce the perimeter!” “Evacuate the lower levels!”

The Architect's gaze swept the defeated warriors, their expression resolute. "I will help you defeat Ravenswood and restore balance to the Order," they declared. "But first, you must understand the true nature of the magic." Rylan's interest piqued, his brow furrowed. "Tell us," he urged. "The dark magic is fueled by the Shadowstone," the Architect began, "a powerful artifact hidden within the Order's stronghold. Ravenswood's control over the Shadowstone amplifies his power, corrupting the very fabric of magic."

I sneer, dragging her back to Anastasia and march right back into the fracas of magic. Magical lights of blue, green, purple, yellow, red, gold splash across the sky. It's actually really pretty. It's funny because the black magic coming from the Abyss isn't even half as powerful as ours is. They don't actually know how to use offensive magic. All they are able to do is put up weak shields that crumble moments later. I'd laugh... but now's not the time.
