Elaina and Klaus stared at each other waiting for one of them to make a move. Klaus finally revealed his true colours, no longer holding back on the use of dark magic.
Elaina didn't want to get close as one wrong move could instantly cause her death. It wasn't known exactly how it works, but the main reason for the ban on dark magic was due to it being able to instantly kill people. It was a power that nobody should wield, so there were many laws that enforced the destruction of any grimoires or any form of writings relating to it.
It was thought that everything related was destroyed as it hadn't been harnessed in years, but Klaus was living proof that some knowledge still remained somewhere. Of course there had been some instances of dark magic being used throughout history, but it happened unintentionally. The only known cases were of people who were mentally ill and gave birth to negative emotions who in turn took form as dark magic.
