no one apart from the developes decide what line of magic/powers the blood gout and soul death lists in....simply putting dark magic over them is unfair to them since they are never stated as such, for example in another game Soul death could be called "spirit" magic..in which case is not dark...at the same time blood gout is "blood magic"...in another could be using Dark energy as a weapon is only named dark magic, not all spells of necromacy/blood
