Darkness Magic

Darkness Magic is a Caster Type Magic which utilizes the element of darkness. This magic allows users to manipulate and control destructive dark magic. This magic has a physical form used for destroying objects, blocking enemies' attacks and picking up things. The color of the magic varies between different users (red, purple, black, green, etc). Users typically shape their attacks into the form of ghostly apparitions, which they can use in various attacks such as tornadoes and pillars. Ghosts can even be used to strangle enemies. Because of the very malicious nature of this magic (which tend to complement the sinister natures of its users), it is known to make people physically ill and cold.

Like other elemental magic, this magic includes body transformation. This is only witnessed with Simon, who controls the darkness and shadows in the area to engulf his entire vicinity into pitch-black darkness, including himself.

In nature, Darkness Magic is weak against Light Magic. Makarov used his light-based spells against Jose's darkness spells and defeated him without difficulty. It is unknown if there are any magics weak to darkness.

Brain's Spells
*Dark Capriccio (常闇奇想曲 Tokiyami Kisōkyoku lit. Capriccio of Eternal Darkness): A beam of darkness is fired from his staff (or in Zero's case, his hands), meant to be used as a drilling offensive attack that can pierce through defenses. Zero, however, has far greater control and is able to manipulate its movement with one hand, cast more than one beam at a time and even use it as a whip. "Capriccio" refers to a music style which is free in form.
 * Scream: A stronger and faster version of the technique. (Anime only)
 * Zero Slash: Zero uses Dark Capriccio as a whip and attacks the enemy. In the manga, this attack is unnamed.
 * Dark Gravity (ダークグラビティ Dākugurabiti): As its name implies, it amplifies the gravity in a certain area. When used against Natsu, he was sent crashing downwards through Nirvana's lower floors.
 * Dark Rondo (常闇回旋曲 Tokoyami Kaisenkyoku lit. Rondo of Eternal Darkness): When casted, dark magic with horror-stricken faces swirl around Brain's staff (or Zero's hands), becoming more and more condensed. Brain can then fire the gathered magic on a wide scale (as he did against the Light Alliance) or focused at an enemy. However, this spell was stopped by Jura Nekis's Iron Rock magic. "Rondo" is a music form derived from Italian which is based on recurring elements.
 * Dark Delete: Several spheres of darkness are fired continuously from Zero's hands. In the manga, this attack is unnamed.
 * Genesis Zero (ジェネシス・ゼロ Jeneshisu Zero): Zero's strongest magic attack. He first charges green darkness energy on his fingers and summons thousands of black phantoms to strike at his foes to the point of them being engulfed completely by their sheer numbers alone. This technique has been claimed to be capable of erasing a person's soul and their very existence.

Jose's Spells
*Shade (シェード Shiēdo): Jose can create ghost soldiers that he can command at will, even from far distances. Their initial strength is like that of a simple soldier, but he can increase their strength remotely to the point that they become super-soldiers. Until they are destroyed, the ghost soldiers show no sign of fatigue or exhaustion. While Jose was fighting against Erza, his army of ghost soldiers were able to overpower the exhausted Fairy Tail members. ===Jellal's Spells===
 * Jellyfish Form: The shade troopers are also able to merge together and form a jellyfish-like ghost that can use fists to attack. (Anime Only)
 * Dead Wave (デッド ウェーヴ Deddo Vēvu): Jose sends a wave of ghosts rushing at the enemy which splits anything in its path, including the very ground itself. The full power of this attack was never seen.
 * Jellal's spells have no name, his darkness magic is similar to Jose's magic and Brain's Genesis Zero. Unlike the two, all of Jellal's darkness spells are unspecified and are more general than the other types of darkness attacks. Jellal can use this magic in the form of ghosts or dark blasts to strike and entangle foes. He used this magic against Erza, creating dark hands or a dark coffin.

Mirajane's Spells
*Soul Extinction: Starting out as a dark sphere, this attack's true form is a large, powerful beam of energy. Freed's "wings" and "darkness" spells were no longer active after this attack. ===Freed's Spells=== ===Simon's Spells===
 * Darkness Stream: Shadowy hands shoot out from her Magic seal and attack the opponent.
 * Demon Blast: A huge ball of dark energy is charged on the user's hands and increases the strength of the next attack.(Anime Only)[2]
 * Darkness Breath: After using Yami no Ecriture: Darkness, he charges dark energy and shapes it into a tornado, which strikes his enemies.
 * Darkness Flare Bomb: After using Yami no Ecriture: Darkness, Freed creates a bomb made from darkness energy.
 * Dark Moment (闇刹那 Yami setsuna): This is magic that cuts out the lights in any room he is in and plunges it into darkness, allowing him and his comrades to attack unseen. The spell is controlled from his eye. His eye color turns to red when this spell is active.

Daphne's Spells

 * Lizardmen: She is shown to be able to create artificial life forms, like the Dragonoid or the creature sent to attack Erza. She sent those to fight Lucy and Erza when they were near her 'Inn' where they were shown to have the ability to copy the magic of their enemy though they dont copy the experience of the enemy.
