"Bad" powers, the stuff that the Anti-Hero, Evil Sorcerer or Wicked Witch uses, and the Evil Counterpart of White Magic. Probably called this because we tend to think of darkness as evil. If heroes use it, they're headed for a fall, or at least An Aesop. Black Magic has the tendency to corrupt more than just the actions it enables.
There are three factors that determine whether a power is Black Magic or not.

In The Secret Circle, John Blackwell and his two daughters, Cassie and Diana all possess dark magic due to their ancestry. Dark magic is the most deadly and dangerous form of magic.
Dark Magic possess the same capabilities as regular magic, though it appears to be slightly more potent. Unlike regular magic, dark magic is not limited by coven laws, as witches bound within circles are capable of using their dark magic without collective aid. Cassie Blake has successfully performed dark magic on several occasions while bound to her circle and was also capable of using regular magic as well, revealing witches that perform both dark magic and "white magic" appear to be able to distinguish the two apart and use them separately.
Dark magic has been shown to penetrate an iron sulphate circle which is supposed to block a witch's magic while inside the circle. Cassie Blake was capable of setting a witch hunter on fire using her dark magic, despite the fact that she was inside the iron sulphate circle as well.
Dark Magic also appears to grant it's users a unique connection to other's minds, allowing them to view another's memories. Cassie Blake was able to see an apparition of Faye's memory while others could not with the exception of Faye. This connection was seen again when Cassie performed a spell to recall the "lost" memories of Jake Armstrong.
Dark magic also appears to have a unique connection with other forms of magic (though the exact nature is unknown), as Cassie and Diana were noted to be the only witches that could form the crystal skull. Dark magic mostly appears to be an innate quality, however Royce Armstrong mentioned that John Blackwell wanted to teach the circle dark magic. Because dark magic is rooted and accessed by negative emotions (anger/hate), it's possible to some degree it can be achieved by those that do not come from dark lineage like the Blackwells.

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, an ancient tribe used an evil magic in an attempt to take the Triforce, later sealed away as the Twili race, although by the time of the game, the evil connotations of the magic had disappeared. Ganondorf's magic is also obviously Black Magic.

Mercedes Lackey, Heralds of Valdemar series has Blood Magic which operates on a Cast From Hitpoints principle; the life sacrificed can be a source of power for a mage. Unless it's a voluntary sacrifice, the practice is flat-out evil: it steals life-energy from other people without their consent, plus a slow, painful death generates more power than a quick one. It's also seductive, even addictive, because it's easy, allowing mages access to power at little cost to themselves.

Dark Magic in Might and Magic is not necessarily entirely evil (the game that introduced it pointed out that it is how you use it that is most important in deciding the morality of it), and there doesn't seem to be real difference in source between it and Light Magic, but otherwise it fits—most users are evil sorts (but there doesn't seem to be any corrupting effect involved, more a correlation between being evil and being the sort attracted to using Dark Magic), the spells do things like drain the life-force of everyone in front of you, sacrifice a hireling for health, animating the dead, throwing a cloud of death at your enemy…

In Sluggy Freelance Gwynn has a number of magical abilities. However, since she got those abilities from "The Book of E-Ville" and a subsequent possession by a world devouring demon, she doesn't use them that often since there's a lingering fear they'll bring the demon back again.

Hemalurgy (derived from the shard Ruin) in Mistborn. Powered by Human Sacrifice? Check. Blood Magic? Check. With Great Power Comes Great Insanity? Check. Opens your mind to an omnicidal Eldritch Abomination? Yup. It's also wasteful: you can use it to steal power from others, but some of the power is always lost in the process as Ruin literally can't help but destroy. Of course the cost is born by whoever's getting killed to steal their powers, so who cares?

In Kamen Rider Wizard, we have the Sabbath, a ritual which creates a magic circle by sacrificing four magical beings placed at key points. Anybody within the circle dies one of two ways: if they have magic potential, their Phantom is released, killing them and taking over their identity; if they're Muggles, the released magic energy just kills them outright. The entire purpose of the ritual is to release a massive quantity of mana and focus it into a Philosopher's Stone.

Dark Souls III gets rid of Hexes as a separate magic practice, instead each of the three types of magic have "Dark" spells that can be learned, resulting in Dark Miracles, Dark Sorcery, and Dark Pyromancy. They are invariably among the most powerful spells, but finding someone to teach them to you can be difficult, as even among the Undead, there are few willing to channel the Dark so strongly.

Fire Emblem:
Dark magic is explicitly said to be based on knowledge of mysterious forces, as the counterpoint to White Magic being based on faith. While dark magic is said to have a corrupting influence that the weaker-willed often lose themselves to, it isn't necessarily reserved for evil characters, and you can have good-hearted Shamans, Druids and / or Summoners in your party. Their dark spells have the strongest raw might of all magic in the series, but the worst accuracy as well. One of them, the Nosferatu magic, can steal hit points from the enemy and heal the caster's previous wounds.note This spell was originally called "Resire," and was Light Magic, and it returned to being Light magic in the Tellius games, albeit much weaker. The effects of dark spells often have expanded effects in comparison to the pure damage-dealing spells that the Light and Anima branches have. For example, Eclipse always halves enemy HP, Luna negates enemy resistance… and so on. Notable dark magic users are:
Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade: Ray and Sophia (Shamans, promoted into Druids), Niime (Druid).
Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade: Canas (Shaman, promoted into Druid) who also is the son of Niime from the sixth game). Nergal (Dark Druid and the Big Bad boss apparently).
Funny thing is that Canas argues that it's Elder Magic, not Dark Magic!
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: Knoll (Shaman, promoted into Druid or Summoner), Lyon (Necromancer), Ewan (Pupil, can use dark magic if promoted into a Shaman instead of a Mage).
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn: Spirit Charmers, such as Pelleas, are people that make pacts with mysterious spirits in exchange for great magical power; a distinguishing mark appears somewhere on their body to identify them as one.
Thracia 776 had the series' first playable Dark Caster, a member of the Religion of Evil, a Lopt Mage name Salem. Other dark casters in Thracia 776 are also seen in Genealogy, except the Anticlimatic Final Boss, Veld (who notably, wields the Stone spell).
Genealogy of the Holy War has Big Bad Manfroy (Dark Bishop) and most followers of the Religion of Evil, the Loptyrian Sect Dark Mages. And of course, the "Messianic" figure of said religion, the Dark Prince Julius. Julius' Loptyr tome is the nastiest Dark Tome in the series (on top of being a Tome of Eldritch Lore in its truest form); while it appears to be the weakest of the Game-Breaker Holy Weapons (it's only Stat Bonus is + 5 Resistance), it halves the stats of anyone who dares fight Julius, unless he/she is wielding the stupidly broken Naga tome.)

Dominic Deegan:
Necromancy: Animated corpses and human sacrifice. Though, it's not automatically evil, speaking to the dead for instance is okay.
Infernomancy: By making a contract with a demon lord, an Infernomancer gains powers that vary from demon to demon in addition to the standard Hellfire. An otherwise unnamed Infernomancer in the early chapters, prior to breaking free of his contract, bound to the Demon of Wounds, is immune to physical damage except for the self inflicted Eye Scream. An infernomancer bound to the Demon of Greed works with ambitions and desires; an infernomancer bound to the Demon of Treason works with seduction, corruption and betrayal. Large-scale infernomancy by those bound to the Demon of Poison creates results similar to nuclear fallout over a country, and would ultimately allow a Demon Lord to physically manifest in the world.

The Unofficial Hollow Knight RPG: Dust magic is this. Aside from being this setting's equivalent of Necromancy, dedicated to inflicting pain, hunger, and undeath, it also originates from the Lord of Dust and causes the wielder to slowly turn evil. Just knowing it transformed the peaceful and pastoral crickets into the endlessly ravenous locusts, and it's the reason why his Battle Thralls are so loyal - they're just as twisted and evil as he is.

Arcane casters in the Dark Sun setting can choose to be "Defilers", which allows them to reroll the results for any spell they cast at the cost of further desertifying the world, or at least the portion of it they're in. This makes them about as popular as witches were in 17th century Salem, MA.

The Night Unfurls:
Olga uses this as a means to turn Garan into a Mordor.
Shamuhaza uses this to create a legion of Elite Mooks, known as "the Neverborn experiments". A component of the Eldritch Truth pursued by the Mensis scholars.
Summoning minotaurs like what Grishom did in Chapter 26 is seen In-Universe as dark magic. Doing so in Ken, the capital of Eostia, is seen as a death sentence.

In Black Magick the witch-hunting organization Aira tracks down and executes those witches who use black magic. They believe that once a witch starts using black magic, no matter how good-intentioned or minor the first instance was, they will inevitably fall deeper and deeper into villainy. Unusually for the witch hunter trope, they do not believe that all magic is black magic and stress that they must Never Hurt an Innocent.

Harry Potter features a wide array of techniques that fall under The Dark Arts:
The three Unforgivable Curses are so named because under most circumstances, using any of them will earn you a life sentence in Azkaban. However, Aurors are permitted to use them against suspects, and some "good" mages cast these as well in the Potter Verse (Harry included). Aurors were first granted the right to use these during the First Wizarding War, which might fit with the "corrupt government" motif (Barty Crouch Senior describes it as "fighting fire with fire"), but no one ever calls Harry or the other good characters on it.
Avada Kedavra, or the Killing Curse, is forbidden in the same way gun control is practiced in Great Britain.
Crucio, the Cruciatus Curse, not only causes pain as Cold-Blooded Torture, but also only works if the caster is really sadistic. Righteous fury only stings a bit.
Imperio, the Imperius Curse, is a forbidden mind control spell.
The Sectumsempra spell causes severe physical damage and cannot be healed by non-magical means.
A number of methods for immortality exist, many of which fall under Immortality Immorality. For example, creating a Horcrux requires you to split your soul through murder, after which you bind a Soul Fragment to a physical object (the Horcrux), thereby tethering yourself to the world of the living. Another method involves killing a unicorn and drinking its blood, also considered an extreme Moral Event Horizon.
Any type of necromancy would count. In the Potter Verse, this includes such acts as creating Voodoo Zombies called "Inferi" (singular "Inferius"), and resurrecting someone who's been physically killed but preserved through one or more Horcruxes. Harry has the pleasure of witnessing the latter in the sixth book, and it's not pretty.

All magic in Ys I, II, and Origin is this because it is sourced from the Black Pearl. Whenever the Black Pearl and other artifacts made of black emelas are used as a source of magic by anyone other than beings made of white emelas like the Eldeen, demons are generated as a side effect.

In The Dresden Files, use of Black Magic is constrained by the White Council's Seven Laws of Magic. Black Magic has been shown to be powerfully addictive and can push someone to The Dark Side, to the point that it's implied the mandatory death penalty for violating the Laws (except in certain, rare circumstances, namely if a council member is willing to put their own neck on the line on the violator's behalf) is probably a good thing.One member of the Senior Council, the Blackstaff, is given leeway to use Black Magic when the Council really needs it. The current holder of this office is later revealed to be Harry's mentor, officially assigned to him by the Council because he's the only one who would be allowed to "put him down" if he ever tries using Black Magic again — Harry's previous use of magic to kill was ruled to be self-defense, which means they'd at least let someone stick their necks out for him, rather than go straight to the killing. The Blackstaff is in fact a black wizard's staff that lets the user violate the laws of magic without going all evil and crazy. Instead, Ebenezar just gets a lot of nightmares and other guilt issues, but no evil laughter. It also gives its user Tainted Veins while in use. A huge part of the reason why Black Magic in The Dresden Files is so bad is that magic in the setting is based on belief. You can't work magic if you don't honestly and truly believe in employing it both in the way you're using it and for the reasons you're using it. So, when someone uses a magical ritual designed to rip your heart out of your chest, or to invade your mind to make you a meat puppet, or to steal your body or turn you into a zombie, they can only do that because they believe that it is right for them to use that power on you in that way. There's a reason why those who use Black Magic are generally twisted, vicious, outright evil, and insane. The Seven Laws of Magic are:
Thou Shalt Not Kill. One of the stranger twists to this is that several of these rules only apply to humans. In other words, using magic to kill something that isn't human (like, say, a vampire) is fine, but magically killing a human is Evil and drives you mad.
Thou Shalt Not Transform Others. Shapeshifting a human will cause an imbalance in their mind and eventually will turn it into that of the animal they are morphed into. However, a wizard is permitted to shapeshift themselves.
Thou Shalt Not Invade The Mind of Others.
Thou Shalt Not Enthrall The Mind of Others. Mind control will always leave some form of psychological trauma. There are some gray areas, though, such as creating illusions or putting someone to sleep to prevent them from harming themselves or feeling too much pain.
Thou Shalt Not Reach Beyond the Borders of Life. How powerful the result of Necromancy is depends on the strength (life force) and age of the corpse. Most corpses intact enough haven't been dead all that long, so for the most part it's useless unless used on a human. Harry himself stays within the rules by using it on the complete skeleton of a sixty million year old dinosaur found in a museum.
Thou Shalt Not Swim Against the Currents of Time. Time travel can easily end up tearing the fabric of reality and create paradoxes.
Thou Shalt Not Open the Outer Gates. This Law is against the summoning of creatures from outside our reality called Outsiders.

While magic is rather vaguely categorized in Supernatural there are times when "black magic" is explicitly used. They tend to involve ritual sacrifices, human bones and control of powers and beings best left alone. The clearest example is in the episode Malleus Maleficarum where a coven of witches unknowingly gain magic power through a Deal with the Devil — in exchange for magic, their soul belongs to Hell. This seems to be a common subset of magic — Ruby was once this flavor of witch, and witches of this nature appear throughout the show.

Belief in some form of Black Magic is nearly universal, and even a cursory examination of cultures will reveal endless variations. Just to give you a modern example: the United States in the '70s and '80s entered a period called the Satanic Panic, where Satanists were supposedly everywhere causing possessions, influencing politics, and working evil. Inspired by books like Michelle Remembers and movies like The Exorcist, police departments hunted down a non-existent threat. Belief in this sort of black magic would push for attempts to censor music, art, and games considered subversive. Psychics and religious leaders were on major TV networks and training police departments to hunt down non-existent Satanic cults full of occultists in what can only be called a modern witch hunt. More information at Satanic Panic.

We see Hekate doing this in the Whateley Universe. She's got the whole thing down. She does a spell that summons a demon, requires the soul of one of the people in the circle, gains three boons from the demon, and ALSO forces the survivor in the circle to do three things Hekate will ask for in future. Whew.
What's worse? She gets it from Cthulhu and friends! If there's ONE thing worse then 'demons from hell'…
The Whateley Universe also features the Necromancer (who's just as bad as one might expect, has his own cosmic connections, and is also Carmilla's uncle), and the Grand Hall of Sinister Wisdom, basically a modern-day guild for villainous 'black' magicians.

Final Fantasy XIV plays this straighter than in other games. While Thaumaturgy is a benevolent art that traces its origins to funeral rites, true Black Magic is considered a forbidden art because of the role it played in the Sixth Umbral Calamity, the dangers to the caster, and the practice of many Black Mages of sacrificing innocents to fuel their spells. The Player Character gets a pass, though, considering they're The Hero.

However, in World of Warcraft, the playable warlocks can be as good as they like, while every other raid boss's insanity is explained with a "he used fel magic and went insane".
Similarly, death knights spread diseases, summon undead, and similar necromancy-based techniques, but they aren't necessarily bad or evil. However, there are quite a few undead enemies, some of them even being death knights themselves. The player death knights regained their own free will after being betrayed by the Lich King.
It's notable that both the above classes, lore-wise, are hated by pretty much everybody they meet. NPC's generally don't mention it because their dialogue doesn't vary that much between different players, but to give a hint, a Gnome warlock will be sent to Stormwind to train because their leader was kicked out of Ironforge, and then if you ask a Stormwind guard where the warlock trainer is he replies that nobody like that would be allowed in the city, but that there has been some demonic activity around one tavern (where the trainers are hiding in the basement).
After the Wrath Gate incident, the Undercity's abominations are replaced with Kor'kron Overseers who if you ask for the location of the warlock trainers in the Undercity they will give the response "You'll find the warlocks in the Magic Quarter's main building, but I better not hear of any trouble that comes of this." Unless you are undead then you can get a message that is even more filled with malice"You have guts asking me about warlocks. Go to the Magic Quarter's outer ring and get out of my sight." It is makes a lot of sense though considering demons were very much involved with the reason why they're there watching over the undead.

In Soul Nomad & the World Eaters spellcraft that uses Crimson Tears (basically the condensed souls of particularly strong-souled individuals, created through their deaths) is considered Black Magic. Yet, because only Crimson Tears grant the power necessary to do things like fusing humans and gods together, resurrecting the dead and creating barriers capable of imprisoning the World Eaters, they are heavily used by most powerful magicians, including some of your allies. They have no side-effect apart from the ghastly material component.

Labyrinths of Echo: Subverted:
Magic is indeed divided into White and Black, but only in terms of subject: Black magic deals with tangible materials while White deals with images, thoughts, souls and other ethereal matters.
Moreover, this means that Black magic is used mostly in the kitchen or to make amulets, while strong White is what's used to make things... less corporeal. The highest-level White magic spell humans can cast is the highly destructive Green Fire: if it touches anything (save the strongest barriers), that something vanishes — no remains.
There are some things considered dark or forbidden, mostly those including some degrees of human sacrifice or world-ending effects.

Eridan of Homestuck gets a Literal-Minded inversion in that he learns to weaponize "white science". Though it functions the same as black magic (in that it's bright white tendrils of death meant to destroy all hope), Eridan is a Flat-Earth Atheist who insists his newfound power simply must be a science. The inversion is justified due to the fact that Eridan and the others of his kind are beings that are more comfortable in the dark and are physically harmed by significant amount of light; thus their version of light magic is treated as more dangerous and weapon-like than typical depictions of white magic.

In Alexey Pehov's Wind and Sparks series, the main magic school of the Sdis empire is referred to as the "black school". Their spells revolve around necromancy, pain and torture. Interestingly, the necromancers are often referred to as "whites" because they normally wear a white overall.

The Twilight Zone (1959):
In "Still Valley", Teague uses a book of black magic to freeze Union soldiers in time. He would like to use it to defeat the entire Union Army but he can't as he is dying.
In "The Jungle", the Kekouyu put a curse on Alan Richards using a form of black magic known as Umchawi in revenge for his company building a hydroelectric dam that will result in the loss of their homes. It first manifests in the form of a dead goat being dumped outside of his apartment. In the early hours of the following morning, Richards is haunted by sounds of the jungle and tribal drums in the street. When he returns home, he finds that his wife Doris has been killed by a lion, which then pounces on him.
In "The Bard", a hack writer named Julius Moomer buys a book of black magic called Ye Book of Ye Black Arte at a secondhand bookshop in order to research a pilot script. He accidentally summons the ghost of William Shakespeare, who writes a television film script for him entitled The Tragic Cycle.

The Twilight Zone (1985): In "Cold Reading", Sol acquired a real voodoo artifact for the radio writer and director Nelson Westbrook, who always insists on his dramas being as realistic as possible. Westbrook dismisses it as nothing but a dime store novelty. He then says that if he had one wish, it would be that every sound effect in his latest script for Dick Noble, African Explorer would come from something real. His wish comes true and proves to be more than he bargained for.

Subverted in Outcast, a Hetalia: Axis Powers Highschool AU — although England's powers are consistently referred to as "Black Magic", the magic itself seems to be pretty neutral and he uses those powers to assist the student council in running the school. While he can commune with the dead and monitor the whereabouts of the school's students remotely, he can also summon a unicorn (which is about as "goody goody" as magic can get), and it's noted that he could probably perform an exorcism if need be. His powers also enable him to get information on the origin of Sweden's curse from the spirit world.

Fel energy in Warcraft. It fuels the Burning Legion's destructive crusade, gives warlocks their power, and when mortals overuse it, they tend to mutate, becoming over-muscled and violent caricatures of their former selves who only crave more power. It also has a nasty effect on the environment, turning the landscape into a Garden of Evil or simply killing flora & fauna.
However, in World of Warcraft, the playable warlocks can be as good as they like, while every other raid boss's insanity is explained with a "he used fel magic and went insane".
Similarly, death knights spread diseases, summon undead, and similar necromancy-based techniques, but they aren't necessarily bad or evil. However, there are quite a few undead enemies, some of them even being death knights themselves. The player death knights regained their own free will after being betrayed by the Lich King.

Unless you are undead then you can get a message that is even more filled with malice"You have guts asking me about warlocks. Go to the Magic Quarter's outer ring and get out of my sight." It is makes a lot of sense though considering demons were very much involved with the reason why they're there watching over the undead.
Mages are also susceptible of corruption, but to a lesser extent than warlocks. The poster boy for this is Malygos, the patron dragon of magic. He is working on eradicating magic-users, because reckless use of the powers can result in megalomania, weakening of the space-time continuum and eventually an Earth-Shattering Kaboom. To stop this, he tends to use his powers recklessly.
Malygos gets a free pass there as he is the Aspect of Magic and thus immune to its corrupting effects due to having complete and total control over it, killing him would be extremely bad for all Arcane magic (and its users). His decision to kill everyone who uses Magic is an overreaction to the situation, since the last time he remembered mortals running around using magic Sargeras very nearly invaded the planet. Being immune to Arcane Magic corruption and being in charge of its usage, he's allowed decide how it's used since arguably he's the only creature on Azeroth who actually knows what he's doing.
Arcane is more of a mixed example, as more benevolent entities such as Elune and the Titans are also associated with it. Arcane is a force of order to contrast the chaotic fel, which is its opposite, Arcane energies being vulnerable to the fel.

Exalted has Necromancy, which is exactly The Underworld's equivalent of Sorcery and was developed by delving into the nightmares of dead titans.

Forbidden Magic in Black Clover is this, using negative mana from the underworld to cast powerful spells that break the laws of magic, at the cost of destabilizing the soul and the caster losing their humanity, developing wegs as a result. Types of Forbidden Magic include Mythical Beast Magic, which regenerates an entire arm, and magics used by devils, who are from the underworld, such as Word Soul Magic.

According to TSR's Marvel Super Heroes RPG, Mind Control was considered a villain's power, and if a hero ever controlled another character's mind, he would lose Karma (the game's equivalent of hero points and/or Experience Points), not only for the act itself, but for any negative actions committed by the controlled character. Sadly, most player characters had randomly generated stats and powers.
Amusingly, the Marvel Super Hero named "Karma" has the power of Mind Control (called Possession—but it works like mind control, really).

Black Magic in TwoKinds is far more powerful, able to bring the dead back and rip souls apart, however it's very hard to control, drains the life around the user, and tends to drive said user crazy (and casting a spell can kill the user) but nothing Laser-Guided Amnesia can't fix.
Its ability to resurrect is only theoretical. In practice, it takes much more power than can be successfully channeled by even the most competent magicians.

Curiously, in Slayers, Black Magic is in fact fueled by the dark energy radiated by the various demonic Mazoku Lords. However, humans can tap into this without ill effects, since this is a divine function to maintain the Balance Between Good and Evil.
The only rule is the mazoku themselves are immune to any spell from them or a mazoku subservient to them. Thus Shabranigdo, the main Dark Lord, can just choose to not be affected by any Black Magic. This is most dramatically demonstrated in the last novel, when a shard of Shabranigdo chooses not to be unaffected by the dragon slave, and is killed that way. Using against a Mazoku Lord a spell summoning the power of him-/her-/itself (or power of servants they created), as Lina put it,
There's a second rule about Black Magic for Mazoku. They can't cast Black Magic of other Mazoku. Meaning that even as strong as Hellmaster and Dynast are, they can't cast a Dragon Slave or any spells of other Lords without killing themselves in the process.
Further, there's a distinction made within Black Magic between Curses and Destructive spells. Curses are almost uniformly seen as evil (though the really twisted stuff is exclusively used by demons). Destructive spells, on the other hand, are value-neutral, given that a large number of Shamanic (elemental) spells can accomplish the same result (Fireball, for instance, uses fire spirit, not Mazoku).

The Idrian people in Warbreaker consider Awakening to be this, since they believe the Breaths that fuel it to be pieces of people's souls. Practically speaking, forfeiting one's Breath (each person is born with only one) is undesirable and has some slightly unpleasant side effects, but one can still live a more or less normal life without it. Awakening itself comes from the Shard Endowment and isn't intrinsically good or bad, however.

Dungeons & Dragons:
During the systems of 1st Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons through the end of 3rd Edition, some spells were aligned to the Character Alignment subsystem, and used the [Evil] descriptor. Such spells were most commonly designed to subvert or counter [Good] spells, torment or exploit others, or require truly nasty things to operate—primary [Evil] spell components include mortal souls and body parts.
3rd Edition-specific examples:
The "Dread Necromancer" of 3rd edition is able to choose spells, but most of their choices involve the Death, Destruction, Evil, and Fear tags. Their capstone ability at level 20 is to turn into a Lich, complete with Soul Jar.
The Book of Vile Darkness was a Sourcebook dedicated to options for Evil characters. It included black magic spells, Prestige Classes, and new domains for cleric-cultists. It is also an artifact in-game that grants magic powers to the reader.
The Warlock class gains their powers from a Deal with the ____ bargain (though sometimes an inherited one). The Player can choose which entities, but Devils are always a classic (and some of the warlock's basic class abilities are fiend-themed). In this edition, level advancement in the class would modify your character’s appearance in minor ways.
The Geomancer Prestige Class, released in Complete Arcane, is a spellcasting progression class that is defined mostly by the need to choose a new appearance trait to be added to the character. Options included wings (leather or feather), horns, tails, and scales.
4th and 5th Edition Warlocks, while not at all inherently bad, mind you, got their powers from a Deal with the ____ bargain. Such entities tend to be amoral, if not outright malicious. Though the player can choose to avert this by having their warlock draw power from a more benign entity, the three options available by default are Fiends, The Fair Folk, and Eldritch Abominations.
Arcane casters in the Dark Sun setting can choose to be "Defilers", which allows them to reroll the results for any spell they cast at the cost of further desertifying the world, or at least the portion of it they're in. This makes them about as popular as witches were in 17th century Salem, MA.
In the Ravenloft setting, any spell that contacted the dead had a chance the character would be noticed by the Dark Powers.
In Forgotten Realms, Most spellcasters, whether good or evil, draw their spells from the Weave. Then one of Mystra's rivals, Shar, created an anti-Weave called the Shadow Weave, which is chiefly used by evil spellcasters.

Dark Thaumaturgy from Vampire: The Masquerade is a demonic offshoot of the regular Tremere Discipline of Thaumaturgy (vampiric blood sorcery) that used to be practiced by the Tremere Antitribu of the Sabbat before they were all destroyed. Quite simply, it is Thaumaturgy learned from the demons of Hell. Vampires who mess around with the stuff are called Infernalists, and they range from fools who think they can outsmart the devil, fools who want a quick path to power, and those too weak to resist infernal temptation. Infernalist unlife expectancies are rather low, both due to the inherent dangers of dealing with the infernal and because the Sabbat Inquisition is ruthless about dealing with those who truck with demons in general.
This is slander on the Tremere Antitribu. Most of them were as fiercely opposed to Dark Thaumaturgy as anyone else—if not moreso, because Dark Thaumaturgy practitioners were muscling in on their unique schtick. While there were a few Dark practitioners among the Antitribu, most of the real Dark practitioners were of the ruck and run of the Sabbat, and the Sabbat had its own inquisition to hunt them down.
Although regular Thaumaturgy is still pretty close to Black Magic (and is definitely Blood Magic). For reference, one of the very high powered rituals in Thaumaturgy is "Blade of the Forbidden Flower". It involves forging a sword and sacrificing a vampire to bind his soul into it for all eternity, while permitting the wielder to draw on the supernatural abilities of that soul. Other fun Rituals include Nectar of the Bitter Rose, which allows multiple participants to partake in diablerie and reap the benefits, and Innocence of the Child's Heart, which allows a Thaumaturge to cover diablerie stains in their aura by... well, look at the name and take a guess.
The real example of this in Masquerade is Daimonion, practiced by the Baali. A discipline which features a ritual called "Summon the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds" can hardly be anything else.

In Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, bloodbending is the darkest and most powerful of bending arts. It is also the only outlawed form of bending.
Katara learns to control another human being through "blood bending". The witch that taught her this used it almost exclusively for evil, but Katara was forced to use it for good (or neutral) in order to save Aang and Sokka. However, it could easily be argued that it did corrupt her, as later in the same season, she used blood bending on a Fire Nation officer that she mistook for her mother's killer.
By The Legend of Korra, bloodbending has been completely outlawed through the efforts of Katara. A crime boss named Yakone used it to terrorize Republic City, but soon has his bending removed by Aang. Yakone escapes to the Northern Water Tribe where he starts a family and teaches his sons, Amon (born Noatak) and Tarrlok, how to bloodbend. Amon eventually leaves his father while Tarrlok stays behind. Years later Amon figures out how to use his bloodbending to take away bending, while Tarrlok becomes the Northern Water Tribe representative in Republic City. Both use their bloodbending to subdue their opponents.

The Traitor Son Cycle: It's magic derived from death, and is mainly used for necromancy. It could presumably be utilized in the same manner golden and green magics are used, as the two are already interchangeable, but if you're willing to kill someone for their mana, you're likely not using it to light a fire.

The Legend of Zelda:

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, an ancient tribe used an evil magic in an attempt to take the Triforce, later sealed away as the Twili race, although by the time of the game, the evil connotations of the magic had disappeared. Ganondorf's magic is also obviously Black Magic.

In Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series, even using a purely benign magical item for the best of purposes with no conception that you're doing anything wrong will damn your soul to Hell if the item's original creator used Black Magic to create it. Moral #1: don't buy magic items off eBay. Moral #2: the afterlife is unfair and arbitrary.
Averting Moral #2, above, is basically what the whole series is working towards.

The Scholomance: While Mana is created through personal effort, malia is magic power drained from something else's life force. Wizards can get away with stealing a bit of energy from plants and insects, but the psychic taint from killing "anything complicated enough to have feelings about it" for a bigger boost causes maleficers to go Drunk on the Dark Side and eventually rots them alive.

Soul arts are derided as vile black magic by miracle practitioners in Demon's Souls. They believe that soul arts are a dangerous power that consumes souls and threatens the world.

Princess of the Blacks:
True black magic is bestowed by one of the seven Dark Powers, and usually requires some fairly nasty things to fuel it (Death's mages have to kill people to fuel their magic, Tiamat's mages must inflict pain and suffering, Nyarlathotep's mages burn up fragments of their own soul, etc). There is also dark magic (such as the Unforgivables), which anyone other than a white mage can use. Dark magic is generally more powerful than neutral magic, but can usually only be used to cause pain, death, and other destructive uses. True dark spells are fairly rare, but Jen's unique freeform casting style lets her turn almost any spell dark by infusing it with hatred and sadism.
However, one of the major plot points is that "dark magic" has become an umbrella term in the Wizarding World for any kind of forbidden or regulated magic, including both true dark magic (such as the Unforgivables) as well as things like Evocation or fleshcrafting which are dangerous or obscure, but morally unaligned.

The Tough Guide to Fantasyland: The Black Arts are a collective name for magics of the unsavory sort, which mostly appear to revolve around enslaving people and summoning demons. Most magic of this sort seems to require a human sacrifice or at least a lot of blood, which practitioners of the Black Arts will get by nabbing convenient targets, who usually happen to be the Tourists or someone close to them. Practitioners can range in skill from simple beginners dabbling with forces that will eventually corrupt them to skilled adepts gleefully performing atrocities, and can appear both as agents of the Dark Lord and running their own little enterprises.

Raven of the title group of Teen Titans (2003) was taught 'dark magic' from her Unseen Pen Pal Malchior, and experienced no negative effects until she lost control of a spell and endangered a child. Then she freed Malchior from his can, and she saw that it was not so good, so for the rest of the show she didn't use nearly as many spells as she did in that episode. Not the blackest kind of Black Magic, as the negative consequenses were mostly a matter of application, and control always was a big issue for Raven, though her being half-demon could have been a factor.

The Paper Magician has Excision, the magic channeled through human flesh and blood. In theory the magic could conceivably be used to heal people, and the caster could stick to using their own blood...but in practice, everyone who uses it seems to invariably descend into Mad Doctor territory or worse. Some of the more advanced spells definitely require Human Resources.

Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time has the True Power, a form of magic that can only be used if a direct link to the Dark One has been forged, and then only if he decides to allow it. And the eventual fate of those who use it regularly is so terrible that only one of the baddies dares to use it at all. And that's because he's already batshit insane. As well as the main character, due to him becoming more and more like Ishamael in goals and motivations.

Kill Six Billion Demons seems to have its own version of the black arts, whose exact nature is only described briefly in The Rant and points towards the Demiurge Incubus being a user. It involves corrupting one's Atum with alchemical processes and using Vampiric Draining on others, amongst others. Notably, Deals With Devils are not seen as inherently black magic in the KSBD-universe: Devils are so common that devil-kissed are found practically everywhere, although most people with an ounce of sense realise that making deals with devils is generally unhealthy for you in the long term despite the short-term power boost.

Oleander from Them's Fightin' Herds is a unicorn who uses and studies (forbidden) Dark Magic to try and save the world, and is the only one of her clan that believes it can be used for good just as much as Light Magic. It did have some consequences though as reading too much from The Unicornomicon turned her coat and mane darker, and doing so made the other unicorns shun her.

Wizards and Mages in Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen. What they use is basic fantasy magic, involving blasting targets with elemental spells (of any element except Light, including Physical). Nonetheless, this is one case where wizards are indeed evil, or at best Noble Demons: Wizards and Mages must have a low alignment to take the class (but not too low), and can recruit demonic units to their side. Furthermore, being a Mage is a prerequisite for becoming a Sorcerer, which is the game's term for a Necromancer.
Sorcerers and Liches also use Black Magic and upgraded versions of Mage attack magic, but they lose the ability to deal with demons. Instead, they raise undead to fight for them.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura:
Black Magic is one of the available schools. That's pain and necromancy with all the prejudice from the general population, although the school doesn't own the game's strongest destructive spell.
Worth noting is the fact that Dark Necromancy is not necessarily evil. The healing school is called white Necromancy.

In Dragon Mango, black magic is nothing more than destructive magic. Given that it's useful in a fight, it's a perfectly accepted practice.

In A.L. Phillips's The Quest of the Unaligned, all four elemental magics have an element of darkness in them, which every mage must struggle to control. It is also possible to become a hoshek, a mage of pure darkness. Hosheks can use all four elements fully, but are completely evil and more than a bit crazy. Luckily, they are very rare.

The Elder Scrolls: Played with in general. Any type of magic being considered uncouth largely comes down to philosophical disagreement. While some people consider, for example, necromancy or Daedric rituals evil, it does not involve any direct corruption like black magic does in many other settings. In this setting, magic is neither good nor evil, it is a tool and depends on how you use it. More specifically:
Necromancy: Necromancy is in fact legal within certain reasonable limits under the Third Tamriellic Empire. It considers bodies and souls to be personal property, able to be willed away by the deceased. Those who legally possess these bodies or souls may do with them as they please. Additionally, it is tolerated within the Mages Guild, though not openly. Beyond the temporary summoning of undead or lesser Daedra which fall into the accepted school of Conjuration, the Guild typically does not openly teach true necromancy. In Morrowind, as part of the Armistice which joined Morrowind to the Empire as a Voluntary Vassal, the Tribunal Temple retains the authority to enforce their religious laws in some cases even if they conflict with the laws of the Empire. Given the significance of ancestor worship among the Dunmer (Dark Elves) people, necromancy is considered blasphemous, entirely illegal, and punishable by death. One Mages Guild necromancer will rant about the hypocrisy of the natives, who ban philosophical necromancy, yet summon their own ancestors' ghosts and various undead to guard tombs. The natives do judge necromancy by subject: working with your ancestors is fine, disturbing unrelated dead is a crime. This conflict was meticulously hand waived in one of the in-game books in Oblivion. It is a description of the lengthy debate by senior Mage's Guild members on banning necromancy, and when one of the defenders pointed this out it was decided that while some schools technically overlap, the practicing of necromancy itself required the user to go too far. During the actual Mages Guild questline, one has to deal with the Order of the Black Worm, led by the infamous/legendary necromancer and Lich, Mannimarco, whose numbers have swelled with outcast members of the Mages Guild who wish to still practice necromancy.
Daedric rituals and summoning: Daedric rituals and summoning can be considered this, depending on where you are in Tamriel and which Daedra you are trying to summon. Summoning the generally nastier Princes (like Mehrunes Dagon and Molag Bal) pretty much ensure that something bad is going to happen after the fact. Several of Skyrim's Daedric quests require Human Sacrifice, either directly or indirectly, including Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, Boethiah, Mephala, Namira, Hermaeus Mora, and Vaermina. In exchange for completing the quest, you are rewarded with some of the most powerful legendary artifacts in the game.
All Enchanting magic requires the use of Soul Gems, which trap the souls of creatures and use them to power the enchantments in question. While most Soul Gems only trap the souls of animals and monsters, Black Soul Gems, which are frequently used by necromancers, can capture the souls of people, and use of them in enchantments is very much considered Black Magic. It doesn't help that the remnants of the poor souls that get trapped in these gems wind up in the Soul Cairn, which is not a nice place to wind up at all.
Using the powers of the divine may come closest to true black magic, given the Reality Warping effects that power usually has one the world. Examples include use of the Numidium, the Elder Scrolls themselves, or anyone tapping into the Heart of Lorkhan.
The Greybeards consider the Dragonrend Thu'um Shout to be this. It forces the immortal, Aedric dragons to briefly experience mortality, which leaves them so disoriented that they cannot fly or use Thu'um shouts for a time. Being under the effects of Dragonrend is the only thing which makes Alduin vulnerable.

In the Schooled in Magic series, there is some suggestion that the elves long ago used magic to twist and shape humanity to create the other races. This is just one example of black magic in the books. Black magic is not necessarily forbidden, but it is not taught lightly. The whole world has also been shaped by the use of necromancy, a source of magical power that corrupts and destroys, which is gained through killing people to take their mana.

In Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, magic is defined as Additive and Subtractive, with the "magic sand" for Additive magic being pure white and for Subtractive magic being as black as space. Subtractive magic can also be granted only by making a Deal with the Devil by the time of the books, though in the past it was available to most mages and neutral. While it destroys things (in contrast to Additive, which creates them) it's not inherently evil. Rather, Subtractive's issue is due to its source, and it reemerges in a neutral way after Richard's born with both.

Genealogy of the Holy War has Big Bad Manfroy (Dark Bishop) and most followers of the Religion of Evil, the Loptyrian Sect Dark Mages. And of course, the "Messianic" figure of said religion, the Dark Prince Julius. Julius' Loptyr tome is the nastiest Dark Tome in the series (on top of being a Tome of Eldritch Lore in its truest form); while it appears to be the weakest of the Game-Breaker Holy Weapons (it's only Stat Bonus is + 5 Resistance), it halves the stats of anyone who dares fight Julius, unless he/she is wielding the stupidly broken Naga tome.)

Legend of the Five Rings has maho, blood magic that ticks all the boxes. Its power source are evil spirits, it typically spreads The Corruption in you when used, it often involves blood sacrifices and the spells generally have very nasty effects. The worst thing is that it is very easy to learn and will literally steal your soul if you overuse it. Best case scenario? Become a free-willed Humanoid Abomination. Worst case? Well…

The Final Fantasy series is an aversion. Black magic is just offensive magic, and users tend to be no more than any other characters. Black Mages, such as Rydia, Vivi, and Lulu tend to be nice people (Lulu is a little cold, but entirely wholesome).
Final Fantasy XIV plays this straighter than in other games. While Thaumaturgy is a benevolent art that traces its origins to funeral rites, true Black Magic is considered a forbidden art because of the role it played in the Sixth Umbral Calamity, the dangers to the caster, and the practice of many Black Mages of sacrificing innocents to fuel their spells. The Player Character gets a pass, though, considering they're The Hero.

Magic: The Gathering's black cards dip into this, although considering that the game is all about wizardly duelling and we consequently see mainly the martial aspects of any of its colors this is mostly a matter of flavor. (Black does, however, have something of a monopoly on discard effects—implied to be actually harmful to the target's sanity—as well as ones that reduce the opponent's life total directly without technically inflicting 'damage', sometimes allowing the caster to gain those life points for him- or herself vampire-style.) However, any colour has the potential to be good or evil—black can be classically "evil", white can be fascist, red can be chaotically destructive, blue can be immorally detached from reality (think Josef Mengele), and green can be cancerously uncontrolled.
On the subject of sanity-damaging magics: Memory Erosion, Sanity Grinding and Traumatize are all blue, while spells that directly hurt both you and your opponent, possibly along with any creatures in play, are red.
To expand a bit: Black magic is considered to be "destructive and costly" instead of outright evil. The difficulty is that many evil beings go straight for it. It has a variety of effects (dipping into turf owned by most colors) and often requires sacrificing your life… or somebody else's… Black cards tend to be greedy or selfish, but no more so than, say, Capitalism. It embraces both the best and worst aspects of self-interest. However, this trope is partly averted in that many Black creatures and spells are not evil, just aggressive or unhelpful, and there are many unpleasant beings associated with other colors.
Toshira Umezawa was created specifically to be a black-aligned main character. While he wasn't the most good protagonist, he tended more towards selfishness than evil. Wizards explains that black's "good" aspects (in terms of Western values) tend towards capitalism and other forms of competition.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise has the Shadow games, which utilize dark magic and utilize rules for each game.
Also, there's the Dark Magician (actually called the Black Magician in Japan) and his extended family, all Dark type Spellcasters. Though the Dark Magician itself was created through a noble cause, only uses his own life energy, and his purpose is to defend the Pharoah. The card is also used by Yugi, the main protagonist, who isn't evil.

In Acacia, all Magic Is Evil to some degree because it's humans' flawed and corrupted copy of Elenet's song, something that no human can hope to truly duplicate. However with the Santoth, the evil wizard army that conquered much of the world, they have been taught only Black Magic such as cursing people with undeath, casting spells that only mutilate or kill, cause disease, summon demons etc. And worse yet, they've been geased to have to regularly use magic or they'll suffer great pain.

Super Sentai/Power Rangers:
Bandora the Witch from Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger dabbles in this, and invokes the Darkest of Black Magic to summon her master, Dai Satan, to Earth to bolster her power and attempt to kill off the Zyurangers and Daizyujin and lay waste to the Earth.
In Mahou Sentai Magiranger, dark magic is used by fallen members of the Heavenly Saints, a corrupted version of their own magic that has all the same rules but a different set of spell words (which mean the same thing). In Power Rangers Mystic Force, all the villains' powers are considered dark magic. In both cases, it would seem Black Magic and White Magic are more down to how you use your powers than anything like Powered by a Forsaken Child vs. The Power of Friendship. Your Instant Runes seem to know your alignment and change accordingly, too.

In the Fairy Tail world, the title "Black Mage" Zeref is taken very seriously.
Somehow subverted. There are forbidden spells, but Darkness Magic (not to be confused with black magic), as well as Shade Magic are not necessary evil magic and is tolerated. The (former) Guild Master José being a user of the latter, and there are some good mages like Simon, Mirajane and Jellal are users of Darkness Magic (Simon has this as his main magic). Ditto for Shadow magic and Shadow Dragon Slayer magic.

Shadowrun's world is absolutely full of this. Earlier versions made the use of such magics automatically turn a PC into an NPC; even now, DMs are strongly advised to not let players use them.
The government of Aztlan (formerly Mexico) is involved in the use of a nasty version of blood-powered magic which is a deliberate corruption of old Aztec rituals.
Toxic shamans seek patronage from toxic spirits and are considered walking fallout. Some are raging eco-terrorists, others actually seek to spread pollution to enhance their powers.
Insect Shamans serve horrifyingly alien insect spirits and have to summon said spirits into living hosts in order to grow in power
Not the case for the related magical traditions actually called "Black Magic" and "Dark Magic". Black Magic is focused on raw ambition, and while most of its practitioners tend to be dicks, it's not inherently evil. Dark Magic is descended from real-world Satanism; with the spirit world and magic active parts of the world, the border between LeVayan and theistic strands is fuzzy.

The power of Chaos in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 is definite Black Magic.
Actually in Warhammer all magic comes from the domain of Chaos. Whether it's Black or White Magic depends on how you use it.
The Dark Elves and Wood Elves in Warhammer Fantasy get the Lore of Dark Magic, which contains powers of the body-freezing and soul-stealing sort. The Vampire Counts' and Tomb Kings' Lore of Necromancy (or whatever it is called) also qualifies.
Strictly speaking, the term Black Magic in Warhammer only applies to acts of illegal magic performed in the Empire, by people without Diplomatic Impunity. It covers magic powered directly by one or more gods whose worship is forbidden in the Empire (usually Chaos, but Khaine and others pop up occasionally); Necromancy (not to be confused with Death Magic); witchcraft; spells powered by more than one Wind of magic (which can include both Dark and High Magic); daemonology; virtually everything to do with warpstone and any arcane magic performed by someone who doesn't hold at least an apprenticeship in one of the 8 Colleges of Magic. Outside the Empire, it's more of a colloquialism.

In the third season premiere of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Twilight Sparkle has to duplicate the spells used by King Sombra, the cruel and heartless once-ruler of the Crystal Empire, to find where he hid the Crystal Heart. Every time she does, her magical aura turns pitch-black and roiling instead of its regular color, and it takes her more effort than usual. That said, Twilight's teacher never gave her even a slight caution or warning about using it, and while that magic uses negative emotions, it has shown no sign of affecting morality, with it only having the special property of controlling certain crystals.
In the third season, the term dark magic is only used to refer to a trap laid by King Sombra, rather than his magic in general. The fourth season eventually uses it as a catch-all term for destructive magic.

Child of the Storm mixes the Harry Potter and The Dresden Files versions of this, and it is repeatedly underlined as being incredibly dangerous, corrupting and addictive, with one of the main villains being an absolutely terrifying Axe-Crazy Omnicidal Maniac Necromancer and borderline Humanoid Abomination. However, a distinction is made between wandless and wanded black magic, with wanded practitioners able to get away with much more since their wands serve as buffers against the fallout, sort of like the Black Staff, so they're not likely to go insane (or at least, do so anywhere near as quickly as their wandless counterparts). Equally, though, it is pointed out that if you're willing to use that sort of magic, you've got a dark streak, and if you're using it often, you're unlikely to be very nice or very sane, so it's a fairly moot point.
The reasoning for why mind magic affects wandless practitioners in a way that it doesn't non-magical telepaths is that magic is slightly alive in a way that psychic energy isn't, and doesn't respond well to being twisted like that. However, again, it is mentioned that a telepath who routinely screws with people's heads is unlikely to be nice or sane, to the point where there's basically no difference between a rogue psychic and a warlock (a wizard gone bad). In Chapter 68, Betsy Braddock tells Harry that the White Council has executed rogue psychics in the past. Not often, but they've done it.
Being able to handle Dark Magic without being changed by it is a requirement of being the Sorcerer Supreme, and both Strange and Wanda (his former apprentice and heir apparent) are mentioned as being capable of it, though Wanda says that she hates doing so.

As a rule, pretty much any magic used by demon cultists and summoners in the Diablo universe will be some form of Black Magic. The Dark Coven led by Maghda from Diablo III, for example, uses human suffering through Cold-Blooded Torture and Human Sacrifice to their demon master Belial to fuel their magic, which ranges from summoning demons to even creating illusions.

Dominions has death magic (about half of its spells fall under this) and blood magic (every single spell requires human sacrifice). One death magic global enchantment, Well of Misery, subverts the trope by concentrating a portion of the worlds negative energies into a single source. In essence, the caster gets an income of twenty death gems per turn while crop yields increase all over the world.

Crystal Heroes plays with this. What is commonly referred to in-universe as black magic is the RPG kind, just meaning any sort of offensive magic, as opposed to being drawn from some evil source. However, it is generally still viewed as this trope purely because the story takes place in modern society, where people tend to disapprove of people being able to shoot out fireballs or shards of ice from their own body. Isaac, the primary black mage character, does not seem particularly evil, himself.

Sorcery in Blue Rose is roughly defined as "any magic that alters the will or form of another being without their consent." Using too much of it deteriorates your physical and mental health until you go insane or waste away from sickness… unless you give in to the corruption, in which case you become more fit and powerful than ever but also become evil.

In Shadow Ops, "Negramancy" is the designation for magical ability to cause decay, rot, and entropy. By its basic nature (and the nature of Shadow Ops' magic system) magic is very powerful and requires relatively little effort to use beyond willpower and mental discipline. A powerful negamancer is a Person of Mass Destruction who kills and destroys in one of the most horrible ways imaginable, and can do this to ''anything. Tanks rust and fall apart, flesh rots off the bones, plastic breaks down, and electronics corrode. Nothing is safe, and the only shown negramancer in the series, Scylla, has an ugly steak of brutish insanity and a superiority complex that rolls together to make her one of the most terrifying things in the setting.

Played with in Tales of MU. On the one hand, necromancy is considered a legitimate speciality for aspiring wizards as long as they follow the rules. On the other hand, the only necromancy student we ever meet is Steff, who hates most of the world and plans on going off to live with an ogre prince, where she won't have to follow any regulations and will also act as his official torturer. At one point, she mentions the possibility of having sex with Mackenzie's reanimated corpse should Mackenzie die prematurely. On the third gripping hand, in many other ways Steff is given a very sympathetic portrayal.

The anthropomorphic RPG Ironclaw has the Necromancer class, specializing in bringing about a Zombie Apocalypse, energy draining, Mind Rape, and other nasty things. However, this class is hidden in the back of the book with a warning to Dungeon Masters not to let players pick it arbitrarily. Why? Because if a Necromancer rolls three sixes in any of their tests, the DM is encouraged to think of random disasters to befall them.
Some Druid spells carry the same risk, though not all since the spirits they deal with are apparently somewhat more willing to grant them power. While the Lutarist deities require complete non-violence from their priestesses and will inflict the penalties of Unholy magic if they cast spells offensively.

In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, all magic is Black Magic, and is referred to as the 'dark arts', though some spells are more corrupting than others. In season six Willow becomes addicted to the stuff like a drug, and people freak out whenever she uses magic that does nothing more than decorate the house or levitate a book. In season seven, Willow struggles with overcoming her old habits, and briefly snaps after using a simple barrier spell. Willow even uses innocent blood, the blood of a fawn, in her resurrection spell for Buffy. Kind of a trade-off, as one must die for another to live.

There are three branches of magic which are classed as "black" in The Riftwar Cycle. The first, and worst, is necromancy, the ultimate violation of nature. The second is arcane life, which involves warping living things to the magician's will, and the third is demon summoning, though in that case it's not the magic itself that's bad so much as the fact that most of the things you can use a demon for once you've got it aren't very nice.

Doctor Strange has the ability to use such magics (and, in fact, was proclaimed "Master of Black Magic" back in his first appearance), but he rarely employs such magics as it is basically taking the power of a dark entity and using its power.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
Love spells are forbidden because they reach into someone and change their private self. In addition, Negi knows a forbidden spell that would result in killing a demon instead of binding or banishing it. What the details or consequences of such a spell would be are not shown, as he chooses not to use it, but… it is a demon, which is just another race in the Magic World.
Later on, Negi learns a technique called Magia Erebea, which depends on negative emotions such as hate, rage, fear, or sorrow, and takes a major toll on the user's body and soul. According to a demon Negi fights later, it works by the magician taking an offensive spell into himself for empowerment—basically, swallowing your own lightning spell to become a human thundergod. This is later revealed to be an aversion, however; the actual technique is actually more of a Yin-Yang Bomb, and while using it enough will eventually turn Negi into a demon, this is because it wasn't designed to be used by humans to begin with.

Mage: The Awakening has a morality system that heavily penalizes certain acts, such as using mind control and ripping away a person's soul. Then there's using the Abyss to fuel your magic, which basically means paying favor to something that is to reality what anti-matter is to matter. Finally, there are the Left-Handed Paths, Legacies that involve incorporating magic that is both destructive to others and, ultimately, yourself into the very pattern of your soul. Such Left-Handed Paths include people who worship the Abyss, necromancers who maintain immortality by feeding on people's souls, Knight Templar psychics who project themselves into the minds of Abyssal beings in order to find out what they fear, and devout individuals who see nothing wrong with subjecting mortals to Mind Rape in order to get a glimpse of the "angels" who predated existence.

He admits that he had something like this in mind, but upon further consideration he decides that that's probably "all rot" and that they should just face eastwards and hold out their arms "like they did on Ramandu's island" while they appeal to Aslan.

In The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the form of magic in common use is powered by blood. Your own blood is fine, but if you want to do something moderately powerful, someone has to die. In addition, every spell cast in this way has the side effect of making life slightly worse for everyone by feeding power to bad stuff. The books also have other forms of magic used predominantly by Evil Minions.

It's implied that "twilight" is closer to the dark side. At the end of Chain of Memories, DiZ asks Riku if he is taking the road to twilight and downfall, after Riku refuses to take the road to light or darkness. In reply, Riku states that he is taking the "Way to Dawn" (or road to dawn in the English translation, but it was supposed to be Way since it worked as a double meaning with taking the actual path as well as taking the Keyblade "Way to Dawn.") As of Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], it seems to be worth it, as his resistance to Darkness enables him to save Sora and become a true Keyblade Master first.

Riku of Kingdom Hearts struggles with true Black Magic throughout the games. He argues that the ends justify the means and using Dark magic for good reasons is okay, and this has different results in the different games.
It can be convincingly argued, however, that overall it was far more trouble than it was worth and he was much better off avoiding it, especially as he would have gotten "Light Side" powers of comparable potency for much less grief.
Eventually he decides to use both, which changes his rather evil sword into a Keyblade. The Keyblade has both "evil" and "good" symbols, like a devilish wing and an angelic one. The balance between light and dark is called Twilight.

Arguably, Hiei's Dragon of the Darkness Flame technique in YuYu Hakusho. It falls under the category of hellfire, as it comes from the demon underworld. However, it only requires a sacrifice when the user is not strong enough to control it ("I suppose just my right arm will do,") and is used by Hiei to fight various enemies who have less-than-honorable intentions.

City of Heroes has multiple "Dark" themed Powersets in Melee, Ranged, Defensive, and Support flavors. These powers typically involve sapping the lifeforce out of foes or doing other spooky things, but they're available to heroes as well as villains.
On the less magical side of things are Kheldians, which come in Peacebringer (Light Themed) and Warshade/Nictus (Dark themed) flavors. Nictus in lore are scientifically modified Kheldians who feed off other Kheldians. Warshades are reformed Nictus. Villains didn't have Kheldians before the release of Going Rogue.

Dark Souls:
Normal sorcery is this, especially the higher level spells you get from Big Hat Logan. The game doesn't state what exactly is going on here, but sorcery was invented by an insane undead dragon and is closely related with the power of souls somehow.
The Artorias of the Abyss DLC goes a step further by having there be literal black magic, which is implicitly linked the the Dark Soul and is strongly linked to humanity.
The black magic introduced in Artorias of the Abyss is officially named Hexes in Dark Souls II and is split off from Sorcery. Hexes are powerful Darkness elemental spells that require investment in both Intelligence and Faith. The stronger ones actually consume souls.
Dark Souls III gets rid of Hexes as a separate magic practice, instead each of the three types of magic have "Dark" spells that can be learned, resulting in Dark Miracles, Dark Sorcery, and Dark Pyromancy. They are invariably among the most powerful spells, but finding someone to teach them to you can be difficult, as even among the Undead, there are few willing to channel the Dark so strongly.
