The dark arts, also known as dark magic, is the name ascribed to magic that is considered immoral, evil, or malevolent. It typically includes necromancy, blood magic, and a variety of summoning spells relating to the summoning of demons and daedra. The term tends to be used only by those uneducated in magic, as a practiced sorcerer would understand the nuances that differentiate the multiple magics termed "dark arts".
Necromancy is sometimes called the 'dark arts'.
History[]
The Mages Guild of the Second and Third Eras restricted the practise of the dark arts, banning necromancy and blood magic entirely and requiring heavy supervision as well as prior experitse for any summoning of daedric creatures.
