Interesting situation with black arts

[Aprophis]

I suppose that's fair. Clearly you've seen way more than I have.

Honestly I would probably be better off without having seen and experienced some of those things I have seen and experienced.
They are forever etched into my memory now.

Black Arts magick is not the same as Black Arts, the beings. The black magick path shouldn't be mixed up with them. They are independent.

Sorry, I meant Black Magick.

Lol, I think this is the only thread where I got involved today.
But it's nice you feel I'm the one with answers. All I ever seem to get is more questions so I feel quite differently. 3|D

It's DA but difficult to handle. If you check the whole encyclopedia page you can see hints.
Like the tags at the bottom. And that it actually has a Secret to keeping.

To be accurate, it is ranked as "Black Arts" and is in the "Black Arts" section. It does not suggest any be kept as "they are difficult to control" and "aggressive, merciless, and ill-tempered".

That said, I do see the "dark arts" tag, but I suspect that is a mistake considering it is in the Black Arts section. I get the feeling there was more to the story behind this entry. It was last updated in 2012. Perhaps they conjured them for keepers at some point, but they were far too aggressive for most people to handle so they stopped selling them.

It may be best to email the help desk for guidance. I'm not sure I would make any decisions based on a possible inaccurate tag in the Encyclopedia.

It was mentioned once somewhere, a long time ago, that CH made certain exceptions for very unruly DA beings to declare them as BA because only really experienced people should keep them. So the tag might be from when they were still declared DA.
But I'm too lazy to look for it now.
So yeah, for clarification one could ask the helpdesk.
