'''Black Magic Arcana:''' A dark magician is focused on black magic, which is inherently offensive in nature. Whenever she casts a spell that deals damage, it deals +1 point of damage per die rolled. Additionally a dark magician adds +1 to the DC of any spells she casts with the [death] descriptor or that causes petrification. 

However a dark magician cannot learn spells with the [good] descriptor or of the [healing] subschool. If the dark magician learns a spell with multiple alignment descriptors, she cannot cast it with the [good] descriptor.

This ability replaces the sorcerer’s bloodline arcana.

'''Dark Shield {{Su}}:''' A 3rd level dark magician is able to raise a barrier of protective magic around herself, deflecting incoming attacks. As a swift action, the dark magician may grant herself a +2 deflection bonus to AC and Damage Reduction 1/Magic. This bonus lasts indefinitely, or until the dark magician is struck by a melee or ranged attack. At 7th level and each 4 levels thereafter she increases her deflection bonus to AC and damage reduction by 1.

'''Dark Elementalist {{Ex}}:''' When a 9th level dark magician choose a single energy descriptor (acid, cold, electricity or fire), when she casts spells of the matching descriptor she may alter the spell with black magic to transform it energy damage. The appearance of the elemental spell is greatly altered, and half the damage it deals is fell in nature, and thus not subject to energy resistance and immunity. As a full-round action, the dark magician may alter which type she has chosen with this ability.

This ability replaces the sorcerer’s 9th level bloodline power. 

'''Black Magic Master {{Su}}:''' A 20th level dark magician is a potent user of black magic. She treats other creatures as if their energy resistance and spell resistance were 10 lower. She treats immunity to magic as if it was SR of 20 + the creature’s HD (which is not reduced by this ability).

This ability replaces the bloodline power gained at 20th level.
