Dark is a starsign in Magical Starsign. It is affiliated with the planet Shadra.
Gameplay
The dark starsign is a purely offensive attribute, able to negate hit points recovery with the curse ailment. Other effects include randomly increasing allies' stats or decreasing enemies' stats, and draining enemies' hit points. When cast from the back row, dark magic and its additional effects are distributed randomly. It is both strong and weak to light. The protagonist can be assigned the dark starsign at the beginning of the game, and Pooka possesses it naturally, gaining their aura when Shadra emerges at night.
