Background

The Black School of magic is based in Wolfhold and has a large percentage of members who are evil, with many of these being Drow, including the Guildleader, Eremor Shaderiver. Black magic is drawn from the element of darkness and specialises in spells that disable and disorient the enemies of the Black Wizard. At higher levels, users of black magic are often able to blind their enemies, cause their bodies to become too weak to move or destroy them with more powerful strikes of darkness.
