Black magic

Black magic was the common name for forbidden and illegal uses of magic, which included numerous destructive spells and blood magic, as well as many pagan rituals from beyond the borders of the "civilized" world.

If a member of the Sorcerers' Guild was found guilty of using black magic, he or she was stripped of all Talent-power by a powerful Committee of Executors. The soul and mind of the guilty one remained intact, but he or she forever lost the ability to perform sorcery.
