Principles

The Saviours who use Black Magic write the spell in the air in front of them, the number of lines determines the number of Steps (e.g. Step One Ice Dark Arts: White Breath will only have one line to the spell while the forbidden spells like Ouroboros and Cocytus are Step Thirteen Dark Arts and require a much longer chant of thirteen lines). A line of the chant can be several short sentences. The Kuroma writes and chants faster than humanly possible, and when the chant is finished, it hangs in front of them in ethereal letters, which he/her flicks with their finger before proclaiming the name of the move before launching it. Dark Arts can also be used to enchant their or somebody else's weapon, e.g. Moroha who infuses his sword with Step Five Fire Dark Arts Black Gehenna, or Shizuno who uses Step Three Ice Dark Arts Freezing Shade to enchant Ranjou's Arciel.
