# Evil, or possibly even demonic in nature. Unless coming from a [[FunSize diminutive]] [[TheImp imp]], get out your {{Infinity Plus One Sword}} or '''run like [[IncrediblyLamePun hell]]'''. Use of these powers often requires/precipitates a fall to the {{Dark Side}}. May taste like {{Hellfire}}.

# Things or forces associated with the dark andor night. Again, expect people using these to be [[DarkIsEvil evil]], or at the very least, creepy. Or maybe even ninjas!

# Directly manipulating darkness itself. [[CaptainObvious It should be noted that this]] [[ArtisticLicensePhysics completely bastardizes the laws of physics.]] Darkness is simply absence of light, and is no more capable of causing harm than a dark room. Additionally, one can't "create" darkness since by cosmic time, light is barely more than a microscopic spark in the endless void of the Universe, making light merely the temporal absence of darkness. One could say that those using these powers draw their power directly from the {{Rule Of Cool}}, and heaven help them if they aren't enough of a badass to do so. Fortunately, [[RequiredSecondaryPowers they often are]]. Can be explained as the darkness being a form of {{Applied Phlebotinum}}, possibly taking the form of a solid, in which case it has a strange tendency to take the form of [[CombatTentacles tentacles]]. Often explained through AWizardDidIt.

** Other manifestations of "darkness" are depicted like other elemental types except "dark"; "dark fire", "dark light", "dark ooze". Take some kind of "energy" and Paint It Black.
