4''[[https://www.smackjeeves.com/discover/articleList?titleNo=69092/ Shadows Of Enchantment]]'' is a high fantasy webcomic about magic and TheCorruption it invariably brings.
5
6In the land of Nirhal, enchantment is an art that tempts with promises of power, wealth and miracles, but in the end only [[TheCorruption corrupts and destroys]]. 500 years ago, it took [[GreatOffscreenWar a war]] to save Nirhal from its influence. Now, in spite of the lessons of the past, there are signs that the corruption that nearly destroyed the kingdom is beginning to reemerge.

14%% * CollectorOfTheStrange: Vrill.
15%% * CoolGate: Magic is good for making these.
16* DarkIsNotEvil: Tyrus [[spoiler:has been [[BodyHorror horribly]] [[{{Mutants}} mutated]]]], and usually hides it InTheHood, but he's an unambiguously heroic character.
