Darkness



The Element of Hades, The God of Hell. This Element draws strength from his domain of Hell and with it comes a very dark and twisted power. Darkness is not necessarily evil, but it certainly appears like it.

Origins
The Kussinik homeworld of Krayus is where the Darkness Element resides. Along with it was also the resting place of the great Sacred Blade, Dragnipur which was the blade of Darkness.

The Kussinik adopted Darkness into their culture akin to a shamanistic albeit violent way of life. When the G.F.E. came, Darkness was quickly assimilated along with the Kussinik.

Basics
Most basic manipulation of Darkness is about creating a physical manifestation of something. Typically a tendril or arm-like appendage will be made and used as if an extension of the body.

From there, a special type of flame can be conjured known as Hellfire and called such for when it burns, it burns on an Elemental level not a physical level.

Darkness can also work to puppet and manipulate organic life that is devoid of sentience, oftentimes a dead body.

Advanced
On an advanced level, Darkness can even reach into a person's mind to target their will directly. Such an attack is difficult because the one with the stronger willpower will reign victorious here.

Darkness can even go so far as to call forth the dead that exist in Hell. These are usually corrupted souls who were typically sinners and terrible beings, thus dangerous to call forth. Once summoned, they must quickly then be bound to the conjurer otherwise they can run amok and do as they please.

Even higher levels of Darkness involve a low form of absorption in which you can consume matter around you to temporarily gain strength from it, this can even be a living creature which will give great strength though its duration will not be longer than an hour or so.

Deity
The deity of Darkness is a Kussinik shaman that has actually remained nameless. He has existed since the very beginning of their civilization and wields immense powers through Darkness. He is typically referred to as the 'Dark One' in the Kussinik language.

A word of mention is that Hades is a true god, and technically the God of Darkness since that Element draws its strength and power from his domain.
