Doesn't fit with the Elemental Power titles: Dark Is Edgy

Make Wielding The Darkness a redirect?

Then what's the point of trying to get a clearer title? You might as well make the new title a redirect to Dark Is Edgy.

OK, OK. No redirects, then.

Just to be clear, there is actual misuse on this right? We're not renaming just because it doesn't fit the theme?

*glances at the trope image someone gave it and how it's showing someone cool with an evil aura as opposed to someone exhibiting darkness powers*

I'd say yes.

Doom And Gloom works well. It fits the pattern of elemental puns and the others arn't any clearer either.

What about Fighting With Shadows?

I like Shadow Play.

I like "Darken The Doorway;" like Light The Way, it's not going to be mistaken for anything else (like Shadow Play might).

Another suggestion: Bringing The Night.

Its Always Darkest Before The Pwn

"I like "Darken The Doorway;" like Light The Way"

That's not a good name either. I'm checking the wicks, and over a third so far (that don't appear to be false positives) confuse it for plain illumination. I'll have to put that on a trope repair thread as well.

Someone said Doom and Gloom, I propose Gloom,Doom, and Boom. Or Doom, Gloom,and Boom.

What about Edge of Darkness? Though it might cause confusion with the movie with mel Gibson or the British mineserie it was adapted from. Sharp Edge of Darkness maybe?

This might help.

Edit: Of the ones listed there, Keeping It Dark works best.

That implies being dark is expected of people, not that darkness itself is a weapon.

I like Wielding The Darkness.

Is Wielding The Darkness an existing saying?

Still like Doom And Gloom fits with the rest of the elemental tropes and sounds good... wtb a crowner!

^ Those tropes are not fitting because they are puns. They are fitting because they are indicative and are puns as well.

@ Silver: No. But it's clear, which is more than any of the others can claim.

@ Raso: Still think it sounds like an angst thing. Let's bring the crowners on.

Aphotic Attack? — not very punny but gets the point across

^^^ well I think its indicative for an elemental trope.

^^ I don't know, the gloom does but the doom doesn't I think it gets the point across.. I do not like Wielding The Darkness because its just so plain. I guess crowner or we can attempt to come up with something better.

It's not indicative of an elemental trope, since it's a stock phrase, not a pun.

Then how about Death And Decay? (shamelessly stolen from World Of Warcraft.)

^ That would be the necromancy trope.

Besides, "X And Y" is not the name format of the elemental tropes.

Actually, it would more likely be a "poison" element trope. Zombies would be the necromancy power.
