Dark Bane

Novice

Black Blanket

This is the ability for the user to burst at his will into a black substance. In this form the user cannot be affected by physical or magical powers. Also while in this form the user can literally wrap itself around a target, and sap its blood from its victim. This form seems to move with the wind and can spread out over a 20-foot radius and can reform almost at will.

Purge

This ability gives the user to rid itself of any taint, bad blood, unwanted possession, or any attack that would affect the user internally. The User will open his mouth and a black substance will flow out. This will allow the user to channel out any negative powers held on the User. Once this substance has left the user, the user will be able to force any kind of “infection” from their body or soul at any time. This is used purely as defensive method.

Dark Infection

With this ability, the user can literally begin to tear the opponent from the inside out. If any kind of wound is opened on the opponent, the user simply releases the dark infection from its pores, and it will seek the open wound. Once inside the wound, the infection rapidly spreads, using the victims own blood to quickly pass through the opponents system, rotting away the victims flesh from the inside out, while at the same time consuming the victims blood to help it spread.

Intermediate

Black Madness

This is quite a nasty ability. The user makes contact with the head of the victim, a black web like substance will wrap around the head of the victim. The victim will still be able to see normally, but the web will quickly dissolve into the victim’s head, quickly attacking the victim’s nervous system. It will cause the victim to almost immediately go into convulsions, and the substance will quickly eat away at the victim’s brain. This is such a horrific ability victims of the user never recover.

Midnight's Glance

This ability allows the user to glance to an area of darkness and animate the darkness. The darkness can form tendrils or walls or anything that is physical in nature. Once the darkness has become animated, it cannot be dispelled by light of any type, it can however be cut, or smashed etc. If the user touches the animation in some form they will be able to use it as an extension of themselves to pass on the dark infection. Once the darkness is animated it will be under the command of the user and will do the users bidding at will.

Dark Passage

This gives the user the ability to pass through darkness undetected. The user will literally become darkness, If light is injected into the darkness, it will push the user to another patch of darkness it can see, keeping the user concealed in the dark now matter how much light is available. Unlike a shadow, the user simply needs darkness, for no matter how much light there is; there will always be darkness. While in this state, the user can use any ability that is mind related. Any physical ability will be unusable. This darkness also cloaks the users aura so it cannot be read while in this form.

Advanced

Dark Ride

This is the ability to move through the darkness. Not just the shadows, but anything that is dark. With this ability the user can move in out and out darkness at such a rate of speed it happens literally in the blink of an eye. Contrary to belief this is not part of the shadow lands, but just the dark. The user can move into rooms in other locations as if they were rift walking, the darkness carries the user to various locations as if the darkness itself were speaking to the user. This ability serves as either a good escape tactic or a good way to drop in with no notice. Once the user steps in, their path of travel is closed, no one other then the user knows where they will exit. The user also has the ability to carry an individual other then himself into the dark ride.

Dark Venom

This ability is very similar to the dark infection. While the infection works from the inside out, this works from the outside in This gives the user the ability to spit the darkness from them, coating the user in its black acid. This black substance will act just like a form of acid and melt through even the strongest of armors and the hardest of shells. It will rapidly eat away skin flesh and dissolve bones. This acid will be “enhanced” once it comes into contact of the victim’s blood. The blood will help spread this venom over the body.

Black Boils

This is just what it sounds like. The way this works is the user will make a cut in the victim in some form with their claws. Once the claws have pierced either armor or a skin, the dark boil taint will infect the victim. If it is armor, it is used to break the armor open; it will embed itself in the armor and fester into a gooey black boil that will cause the armor to explode from the victim. If it is in the victims skin, the taint will spread throughout the victim and will then fester. It will rip the skin open in grotesque boils, forcing the victim's blood out of his system.

Expert

The Midnight Prison

This ability is truly a horrifying power. This allows the user to seal a victim inside a prison of darkness. Once locked in this prison the opponent will begin to loose focus and become overwhelmed at the sensation of being trapped in such a truly horrific place. This wall is so powerful that it becomes a solid unbreakable mass. It traps beings in, even in “ethereal” forms. The user also has the ability to alter the prison. For instance he can concentrate enough so that the prisons inner walls form spikes that will rip through the victim. This prison can last only for 30 minutes before it looses it strength. The user can enter the prison and leave at will but the victim is stuck.

Dark Beasts

This gives the user the ability to create up to 3 creatures from the darkness. Once these creatures are created they will be loyal servants to the user until their demise, or until sunrise the following day. These creatures are ale to use any of the novice Darkbane abilities. The user can see through these beasts if he so desires and can even force his damage into the dark beasts. Each Dark beast can absorb 3 “hits” of damage before being eliminated. These beasts are not as quick as the user but still are faster then a mortal. They do posses an unusual amount of strength. The user letting his dark taint seep out through his pores into the darkness surrounding him creates them. The user can only create 3 in any given night.
