Black magic

Black magic was a form of magic associated with Satan and other evil entities. Black magic was often associated with witchcraft, although the two often differed.

Some of the malevolent races which practised black magic included the Dæmons (DW: The Dæmons), the Carrionites (DW: The Shakespeare Code), and the Hervoken. (NSA: Forever Autumn)

There were also practitioners of black magic on Earth, although the use of it was not species-wide.

In 1611, Elizabeth Bathory, Edward Kelley and Francis Pearson conducted a black magic ritual which brought the Mimic to Earth. (MA: Managra)

In 1638, Lady Peinforte conducted a black magic ritual to transport herself and Richard Maynarde to 1988 to retrieve the Nemesis statue. (DW: Silver Nemesis) However, it was actually a time storm created by Fenric that allowed this to happen. (DW: The Curse of Fenric)

It is unclear what effect Peinforte's ritual would have had without Fenric's intervention, if any.

In the 19th century, the villagers of Treawtha suspected Tobias Philby of practising black magic rituals (actually time travel experiments), and when these were seemingly confirmed they burned down his house. (TVC: The Amateur)
