I never thought of that. That's so twisted and dark. They're literally using dead bodies of the Moonshadow Elves, allies of Runaan, Ethari, and Rayla. That's dark magic for you.
Maybe he meant about the *way* they delivered their lines all kinda dark and creepy-ish. (Obvi not backwards lol...) I was actually surprised at how nice the acting is for some.
@@achannelhasnoname5182 oh yes, but Claudia for example her spells always seem to sound really on par imo. And her father... Two of an seem good at being dark with normal lines, not even spells. But I get what you're saying about some spells being heavily editted thou... D: shame cause some actors are so good.
One of my favorite things about this is that dark magic spells are usually imperative (meaning they’re ordering the magic to do something), while the Draconic spells are more passive, like they’re asking the magic to do something for them.
Reminds me of the Rings of power, Like how Celebrimbor made the three elven rings not to dominate, but to heal, inspire, and preserve. Sauron on the other hand, made the One, the 9, and the 7 with the purpose to dominate and control
@@reaper7769 I didn't realize it was them!!!!! Practically none of the other assassins spoke but I still got attached to them! I hate Viren even more! Crushing worms is one thing. Using the ash of sentient basically, human beings is... I don't even have a word for how evil that is!
The "Ash of Fallen" spell requires the ashes of a dead creature or person, which are sprinkled into a lit blood candle. The incantation is spoken (backwards, of course), and then the user blows into the flame, which spawns smokey figures that take the form of whoever's ashes were used. The role they play is dependent on the last words of the spell (or first, when reversed). So yes, Viren uses the ashes to conjure smokey figures of the dead Moonshadow Elf party. And because he designates them to be assassins, that's the role they play as he sends them to attack the other kingdoms. However, the video failed to notice that Claudia also uses the Ash of Fallen spell, because it mistranslates her "of fallen" as "and bone". Claudia's version in season 1 is "Ash of fallen, rise again: smokey seekers". She uses the ashes of Xadian wolves, simply because that's what she has on hand, and has them seek out Rayla, Callum, and Ez in the tunnels. The Ash of Fallen spell could presumably be used to conjure a smokey dance partner, smokey chauffeur, smokey body guard, or whatever you want. And it would take the form of whatever ashes you used. It's unclear whether the smokey figures are limited to performing tasks their living forms could have done though. You could conjure a smokey mount in the form of a horse or dragon, but perhaps not in the form of a child or a mouse. Judging by what we see in the show, the smokey figures have the ability to interact with solid objects themselves (the wolf bites Rayla, the assassins equip their former weapons), but they're impervious to outside forces (Rayla's blades pass right through).
Umm..I think I have a problem. You see, I tried it and the cup dissapeared while the tea turned into acid and a few moments later there was a tea monster, he is chasing me for 2 hours *HELP!!!*
"Twist a tangled knot of love and loss to drain life with a weapon of hate" That spell is truly dark and horrifying. I think that was the spell that corrupts his human form from then on in. You never see him in his corrupted form before he did that spell and he also did his best to hide it from Harrow by never looking at him. He just says: "I will leave you with your grief" looking at the floor as he walks away. I also believe he stole Sarai's soul and not just her dying breath. You can hear a faint "Noooo" from her voice after Harrow throws the spear killing the dragon king. That's not what she would have wanted Harrow to do but she was bound to the spear because of Viren.
I didn't realize that Dark spells are English spoken backwards. It has to be actual in universe canon. Cause Callum never heard Claudia say the spell he used to unbind the chain. Claudia said "Slithering steel bind them", he used "Slithering steel unbind". And the spell worked. Callum figuring this out, and how to make it work in his situation makes him an unquestionable magical genius.
@@Kalobi When would he have had time to do that? I think he held the book as a medium to help channel the dark magic. It seems like in most cases you still need an artifact to cast dark magic, aside from the creature you sacrifice.
@@rutger5000 Do you? Claudia casts most of her spells without an artifact (like the fire spell, Smoky Seekers etc ), unless it's the chains for Slithering Steel.
@@Kalobi I dunno. Viren almost always casts with his staff. And so did the Dark mage from the season 3 opening. Doesn't Claudia casts most of her spells with her book anyway? I think that book is an artifact. I'm curious though when do you think Ezra would have had time to read the book for a spell to unbind the Dragon.
@@rutger5000 Idk, they're always a bit fuzzy with time in this show. But assuming the book is well indexed, finding a spell to unbind chains would probably take no more than half a minute tops. Also, wouldn't he have to look up and search for the creature he needs anyway? If he has to rummage through Claudia's bag for a worm anyway, looking up a fairly simple spell in the book shouldn't take that much longer.
I've got practise because of Zatanna's spells in like...any medium she's in as almost all her spells (aside from very specific ones) use reverse incantations like Dragon Prince's dark magic
Really awesome! Just a few things I noticed: 1. It is "Ash of fallen", not "Ash and bone" 2. You forgot the spell he used on Rayla's dad in the flashback Otherwise, this is really cool and I'm glad someone made this!
Actually, it was "Steal the breath" this time around. The spell is different because the hand is red and the ball is blue this time around, whereas they were both green for stealing the voice.
Wow, just wow. I never would have guessed that the dark magic words are actually reversed words describing what is happening in the spell. I love all the background sounds with the spell like the faint whispering or the voice distortion.
Actually Zatanna (at least is in the Young Justice Cartoon) says each word backwards while they turn the entire sentence backwards. So, normally you'd say "Use your essence" Zatanna would say "Esu ruoy ecnesse" While Viren/Claudia say "Ecnesse ruoy esu."
I just know Book 4 is going to be Stars. I believe they drop hints at the end of each season. Book 1 Moon - simple Book 2 Sky - Zym hatches at the end of Book 1 Book 3 Sun - Sol Regum appears in the last scene of Book 2 At the end of Book 3 we see Aaravos' caterpillar thing n a star cocoon.
Actually, it's going to be Earth. But good observation! There planning on seven seasons if it gets renewed that many times (I hope it will)! I think it's Moon, Sky, Sun, Earth, Ocean, Stars, and Dark Magic. (But who knows!)
My headcanon is that the mystical energy of the spell warps the words of the speaker, so casting dark magic isn't hard in any way other than the corruption factor.
and Aaravos at the end you could argue that Viren is the one actually wielding the magic, but wielding the magic of a spell is not the same as casting it; we saw that much when Aaravos cast spells for Viren to use before he was captured by the Katolis soldiers.
Funny thing is, this is how me and my friends have roleplayed the verbal components of our D&D spells for over a decade now. I would also bet money that the story of Dragon Prince was an old D&D campaign of the writers. It makes perfect sense if you think about it.
Imagine somone trying to rob you and you use the slithering steel spell. The snakes alone would scare them off, imagine the trauma when they actually bind them.
Harrow: dark magic is a shortcut!!!!1 Claudia: *climbs up one of the tallest mountains in the continent just to do one spell AFTER she's gathered the ingredients*
In my point of view this sound effect has a deeper meaning: When you are using dark magic you are destroying the balance of the primal magic and by that you are on a completely different side; a REVERSED and wicked side.
You missed the one used in the flashback when Callum sees the truth of what happened to Rayla's parents. He used a Dark Magic spell to literally steal the air from Lain's lungs, disabling him.
Some people have said that Dark Magic isn't explicitly said to be evil and the only thing we know is that the main characters don't like it. I think they're forgetting how it's corrupting Viren, and is currently corrupting Claudia's mind and soul.
I get why people might say that. They probably don't understand why Rayla was upset with Callum for using Dark Magic with a creature that was already dead or why the humans couldn't just take pieces of creatures like their horns or their snot and leave them living but I think the nature of Dark Magic whittles away a person's value of individual life. Viren looks at humanity as a whole, he sees things solely pragmatically and he probably believes that his goal is what's best for humanity but he really doesn't care. When Sarai died, he was literally pulling out a jar to capture her dying breath; I mean, he did it because it could kill Thunder in the future but can you get anymore insensitive than that? Besides that, what Viren wants might not be what's best for humanity. In fact, the way the stories going makes it seem like he might have convinced everyone, including himself, that what he wants is humanity's prosperity but what he really wants is power.
I binged watched the entire series in a day not too long ago. I loved the hell out of it, couldn't stop! My one itty-bitty complaint about this universe though is their portrayal of dark magic, how it's "irredeemably evil" and such. I tend to be drawn toward dark spellcasting classes in various games, warlocks and necromancers and such. I always RPed as someone who just considered darkness as an opposite of light, neither good nor evil. The Dragon Prince universe kind of made me question that and feel bad. xD
@@LeaderoftheFates Yup that's what I mean. If the requirement to play my character in that universe is to become an evil soul-sucking demon, well...so be it. :)
Doesn’t Viren use a spell on Rayla’s father or steal his soul?? Also I’m glad that someone did this video because i was always wondering what in Xadia’s name they were actually saying!! *So thank you!!~ this is my favorite show Ever!!~* P.S. I like the one where Callum did: *Slithering Steels Unbind*
Did anyone else notice that the first spell Claudia does is the same as the one Viren did here? 3:33 "Smokey seekers" "Smoky assassins" They were just risen for different purposes. I thought that they used universal dust that could make "smoky anything" But I don't think dark magic works that way. I think that was actually the dust of wolves and the assassins who came to kill Harrow. Them killing Harrow was awful, but they never deserved that!
3:16 I’m sure it wouldn’t have worked anyway, she has to say the ‘bind them’ first when speaking backwards, if she said the full thing but started off the same it would have been “bind them slithering steel” so ye
You know, even I watched that show, I couldn't understand what they're saying in backwards. But watching this video, I can see why the writers are writing dark magic backwards, and the dialogue is malevolent. I like it because it adds to the theme of man attempting to control nature.
At first I thought it was lazy to just reverse the voices but now I see it's quite clever, dark magic is seen as an abomination that was never intended to exist to the dragons and evles so it makes sense that to do it the humans have to use their language in ways it wasn't intended
Do the characters who do dark magic speak in reverse English or does it magically come out reversed when they speak? Some sounds, like /t/ and /g/ can’t be pronounced in reverse, since they need you to increase the pressure inside your mouth and then suddenly release it at a particular point. Suddenly releasing it before there’s any pressure differential makes no sense.
I think they say the spell normally then reverse in in the computer, but in the "show-world" dark magic makes you different when you're performing the spell?
I think you forgot about 2 of them: Episode 8 DragonGuard: "Htaerb Eht Laets/Steal The Breath" And Episode 5 Breaking the seal: "Natit Amgam Eht Dnif/Find The Magma Titan"
And u missed the time when Claudia made a protective bubble around her and her father, I know it isn't dark magic but u should make a video on just regular spells
Actually given the way they punctuate the sentences I think they're recorded forwards, look at the ones where Claudia has an exclamation mark- you'll notice how that first (last once you spin it around) is the most accented by the exclamation point.
Ok so they seem to have an interesting magic system involving dark magic and normal magic. With primal magic its like you a bringing a thing into reality by saying and writing its name. Like "fulmunis" is lightning. And by writing the rune and saying the name it brings the thing into existence. With dark magic you are telling a material to due something. And it has to have some accuracy to work. Hence why Claudia saying "Bring life to these limbs" didn't work. A.) she didn't address the material (But this might just be me nitpicky) B.) Its his spine that doesn't work, not his limbs. Viren using longer and more complex commands also shows how much more experienced he is than Claudia at this. Finally, that last thing that Aaravos casts. I think you are able to use humans for dark magic. He was clearly using the same rules as I talked about before. Except he was using Viren as the material. Creepy.
I believe she drew a rune and then said a draconic word, if you were listening, that would be primal magic, well both since it was a rune and it used an essence of another being, but Claudia never spoke backwards so it wasn't fully dark magic. It was just Sun magic corrupted with dark magic, creating a circular barrier made of Sun and dark magic. Same with "noctu igne" allowing Claudia to realise an orb of pure black fire, or something.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how the animators went out of their way to match the mouth movements with the reversed words? And that they got creative with the way the spells are said? I actually thought this was a different language they were speaking. Also how do dark mages speak backwards so well?
Why isn't anyone mentioning that they animated the backwards words backwards, so that when you play the footage in reverse it syncs correctly to what they're saying?
Omg 1:20 so this is the spell that he uses to turn someone into coins and in the part where he blacks out for using dark magic for the first time (after dying) he has the weird dreams and the king guy (idk father of ezren) but he uses the same spell in the weird dreams (I think) so idk that’s cool
I just realize something the more you use dark magic the more humanity you lose the first stage of using powerful magic if white hair , stage 2 probably gray pale skin, stage 3 black eyes show darker pale crack around the eyes , and the final stage Huger for power from magical creatures.

Well it seems more like for the primal magic, saying something in draconic and writing the rune basically kinda writes things into existence.
Kinda neat how the primal spells are just phrases, but dark magic is always more of a command or a claim over something else.

I tend to be drawn toward dark spellcasting classes in various games, warlocks and necromancers and such. I always RPed as someone who just considered darkness as an opposite of light, neither good nor evil. The Dragon Prince universe kind of made me question that and feel bad. xD
I think the 'evil' part is that mages have to use magic of drained creatures
@@LeaderoftheFates Yup that's what I mean. If the requirement to play my character in that universe is to become an evil soul-sucking demon, well...so be it. :)
Doesn’t Viren use a spell on Rayla’s father or steal his soul??
Also I’m glad that someone did this video because i was always wondering what in Xadia’s name they were actually saying!!
*So thank you!!~ this is my favorite show Ever!!~*
P.S. I like the one where Callum did:
*Slithering Steels Unbind*
He actually stole his breath. The speal is "steal the breath"
Did anyone else notice that the first spell Claudia does is the same as the one Viren did here? 3:33 "Smokey seekers" "Smoky assassins" They were just risen for different purposes.
I thought that they used universal dust that could make "smoky anything" But I don't think dark magic works that way. I think that was actually the dust of wolves and the assassins who came to kill Harrow. Them killing Harrow was awful, but they never deserved that!
It says in the book version of moon that they are the ashes of wolves who died under a full moon
@@hotcrossbuns6585 There's a book?!
Dark magic looks badass.
3:16
I’m sure it wouldn’t have worked anyway, she has to say the ‘bind them’ first when speaking backwards, if she said the full thing but started off the same it would have been “bind them slithering steel” so ye
I don't think they consciously speak backwards.
“Twist a tangled knot of love and loss to drain life with a weapon of hate”. Man, that scary!
OMG I WANTED TO RECORD THE DARK MAGIC SPELLS AND REVERSE IT TO SEE IF IT WAS REVERSED AND I SAW THIS VIDEO AND IT WAS!!!
Okay the reverse salt shaker as she says "bring life to these limbs" looks hilarious.
I love the echo effect when you reverse it
You know, even I watched that show, I couldn't understand what they're saying in backwards. But watching this video, I can see why the writers are writing dark magic backwards, and the dialogue is malevolent. I like it because it adds to the theme of man attempting to control nature.
Pretty sure you forgot a spell for Claudia. Last episode of season 3, when she breaks the shields of the fire elves
That's corrupted sun magic not dark magic don't mix them up
At first I thought it was lazy to just reverse the voices but now I see it's quite clever, dark magic is seen as an abomination that was never intended to exist to the dragons and evles so it makes sense that to do it the humans have to use their language in ways it wasn't intended
I knew it was something backwards!
Your soul is my treasure sounds creepy even reversed ngl
Do the characters who do dark magic speak in reverse English or does it magically come out reversed when they speak? Some sounds, like /t/ and /g/ can’t be pronounced in reverse, since they need you to increase the pressure inside your mouth and then suddenly release it at a particular point. Suddenly releasing it before there’s any pressure differential makes no sense.
I believe they magically are said backwards
I think they say the spell normally then reverse in in the computer, but in the "show-world" dark magic makes you different when you're performing the spell?
@@dudagonzalez2339 same
In reality it wouldn't be reversed like this, for the show they say it normally then reverse the track so it plays backwards in post production
I knew it was backwards eenglish! Thank you for this!
I think it's actually "fuse your essence", not "use your essence".
I hear use your essence....
"Seek the moonshadow elf"
How original. Lol
I think you forgot about 2 of them: Episode 8 DragonGuard: "Htaerb Eht Laets/Steal The Breath" And Episode 5 Breaking the seal: "Natit Amgam Eht Dnif/Find The Magma Titan"
Yayyy I was looking for this!
And u missed the time when Claudia made a protective bubble around her and her father, I know it isn't dark magic but u should make a video on just regular spells
Tenebris Praesidium- Dark Protection.
When you reverse it it's pretty easy that the animators reversed the English and didn't ask the voice actors to say it backwards lol.
Viren: PART BEFORE ME, AND REVEAL THE PATH, TO OUR DESTINY!!
God: NO!!!!!!
The voice actors are amazing doing some reversed voice!
Actually given the way they punctuate the sentences I think they're recorded forwards, look at the ones where Claudia has an exclamation mark- you'll notice how that first (last once you spin it around) is the most accented by the exclamation point.
@@emrys4386 its a joke
@@SushiCat22 Well, okay, to be fair there are some times where they actually do have the VAs say the lines backwards rather than doing something this.
You forgot done spell in the final battle..
But thanks a lot for the video
Maybe that's why it's called dark magic. it sounds demonic
Ok so they seem to have an interesting magic system involving dark magic and normal magic.
With primal magic its like you a bringing a thing into reality by saying and writing its name. Like "fulmunis" is lightning. And by writing the rune and saying the name it brings the thing into existence.
With dark magic you are telling a material to due something. And it has to have some accuracy to work.
Hence why Claudia saying "Bring life to these limbs" didn't work.
A.) she didn't address the material (But this might just be me nitpicky)
B.) Its his spine that doesn't work, not his limbs.
Viren using longer and more complex commands also shows how much more experienced he is than Claudia at this.
Finally, that last thing that Aaravos casts. I think you are able to use humans for dark magic. He was clearly using the same rules as I talked about before. Except he was using Viren as the material. Creepy.
Thanks for doing all the hard work for me
3:45 omg no way
The talking backwards thing reminds me of zatanna the smallville version where she says whole phrases backwards rather then the seperate words
No one is gonna talk abour how Runaan (AKA my favorite character, and gay purple elf assassin man) IS STUCK IN A FRIGGIN COIN??
WHEN CALLUM SAYS IT IS SO FUNNY
i believe you forget the spell which claudia casted in season 3 when she casted the protection shield spell against the fire from the dragon
I believe she drew a rune and then said a draconic word, if you were listening, that would be primal magic, well both since it was a rune and it used an essence of another being, but Claudia never spoke backwards so it wasn't fully dark magic. It was just Sun magic corrupted with dark magic, creating a circular barrier made of Sun and dark magic. Same with "noctu igne" allowing Claudia to realise an orb of pure black fire, or something.
Viren and Claudia, my favorites uwu❤️
3:17 Soren is calling for Claudia 😢
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how the animators went out of their way to match the mouth movements with the reversed words? And that they got creative with the way the spells are said? I actually thought this was a different language they were speaking. Also how do dark mages speak backwards so well?
Gut gemacht 👍
Dark magic seems more straightforward then the others
So your telling me, all I have to do to use dark magic is squish caterpillars and talk backwards?
I’ve been doing that for a while now
Just came to say that I like your pfp and username
I just get my DS and record it. Simple
Why isn't anyone mentioning that they animated the backwards words backwards, so that when you play the footage in reverse it syncs correctly to what they're saying?
Because it’s common sense dummy
Your soul is my treasure. Thats strangely romantic for what im seeing.
Man Viren is really good at being a really good villain, makes you wanna punch him in the face!
So bill cipher was using dark magic the whole time?
Haha! Gravity Falls! That episode kinda creeped me out....
I really hope that in the up coming episodes he gets a redemption arc because he’s one of my favourite characters
love how the spells sound super serous, but the words are just what a child would say.
Omg 1:20 so this is the spell that he uses to turn someone into coins and in the part where he blacks out for using dark magic for the first time (after dying) he has the weird dreams and the king guy (idk father of ezren) but he uses the same spell in the weird dreams (I think) so idk that’s cool
I just realize something the more you use dark magic the more humanity you lose the first stage of using powerful magic if white hair , stage 2 probably gray pale skin, stage 3 black eyes show darker pale crack around the eyes , and the final stage Huger for power from magical creatures.
I’ve wanted to hear this for a while thanks
The only one u miss was claudia's resurrection and soren's healing the second time.
This was pretty interesting.
thanks this was super helpful
twist a tangled knot of love and loss to drain life with a weapon of hate
Very effective and effect) That's why I love dark magic.
