Black as color of magic
I am trying to create "black magic" with a visual black effect with lore backing (it is for PC game). How can I create this effect, either optically or neurologically? I am not talking about hue or light-absorbing material. Rather I am talking about a type of light we could perceive as black because our eyes and brain do not understand it. I would like to have something more "energy based", like other colors are with their wave length, instead of "we cannot understand therefore black - rule of cool victorious."

It's not black at all, it's not even light (or maybe even any other wavelength of photons) at all, but something about the magic interferes with the ability of our rods and cones to interact with light. Spotblindness, as it were.
You haven't shared the rules of your magic system, but I assume that wouldn't stretch it beyond plausibility.
