Well, actually, I'm wondering it myself. I'm hoping by the end of this class we will be able to tell a dark creature from a common beast...
Don't worry, Sakura Kura, we are only using logic, trust yourself and tell what do you think.

"Dark Arts? In my opinion, Dark Arts are any sort of magic used against another person, in order to harm for one's own purposes. They are sometimes dangerous, and never used for the good of anybody. Any sort of magic that you do that brings someone else down while putting you in power over them is Dark, I think. The Dark Arts magics are conceived with the intent of evil for power."

"A Dark art is any spell used with evil intent." "Nice answer and I completely agree."

"Dark arts", are considered to be magic done or used in an evil intention. Magic that is "forbidden", so to speak. Magic that only the "cursed" do.

The Dark Arts differ from other forms of magic in the intent of the wizard using it. Most magic is relatively neutral--it can be used for bad or good. Some magic, however, is evil in it's intention through and though.

"That's ture, and a tickle charm can also be used for fun! I also heard that scientists would put a dripper above someone's head and the water that would drip down, even though only one drop would make the person go insane, but water's used to keep people alive, so maybe it's just the intention of the person"

Good idea, though!"

I've a theory as to why some kind of magics are considered Dark. *raising hand* First for they are illigal, people are frightened of whatever magic that can hurt or harm them some way or another. It may consist of ways that are violent, and even in mythology it's said that Dark Magic was the magic demons feeds of...

"I think it has to be meant to hurt people, regardless of who is casting it and what the spell is."

| "I believe the Dark Arts are a sort of mystery that are not exactly understood...so DADA, while teaching us about defense, can also tell us what the Dark Arts really are," Thyra commented. |

You can technically use anything, you just have to be creative in the application of it. Why not just ban magic altogether, I mean it's all dangerous if used improperly."
