Dark Magic

"Resurrector of the dead in his spare time."

- Jack Sparrow to Angelica about Blackbeard

Dark Magic was a magical power, similar to Voodoo, used in the Caribbean. This sinister sorcery was known to be used by Blackbeard.

History
Sometime after 1718, Blackbeard studied this sinister voodoo sorcery and became a powerful voodooist. His abilities included raising the dead, in which they become zombies for his supernatural crew, and powerful voodoo dolls that can affect individuals. He was also known to use dark magic to shrink ships to a size small enough to fit in a bottle.

Behind the scenes

 * In On Stranger Tides: The Visual Guide, there is a topic similar to Voodoo called "Dark Magic". However, while similar, they are not the same thing. Voodoo is a religion that is a system of spiritual beliefs and ritualistic practices, while dark magic is sorcery intended to do harm to others.
