minor adjustments to make this more clearly a science-based question
  • I am trying to create black magic - and I would like to have some idea how it could have visual black effect with lore backing (it is for PC game)
  • How to create black color? I am not talking about hue or light absorbing material. Rather I am talking about type of light we could perceive as black because our eyes and brain does 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."
