I also like the original HW Dark Arts a lot. the idea of a ability that does naught on its own, when activated, but every action that you use while it is up suddenly has a damage buff, extra effect, or just some manner of bonus, or even original HW Carve and Spit, with its effect being completely different in(high pure damage) and out(low-damage high MP gain) of Dark Arts, was amazing to me. I really want for the current Dark Knight to have the original Dark Arts back, and seeing Dark Arts bonuses on various skills, offering to do a interesting extra.

while as Shurrikhan mentions next, another great thing about original Dark Arts was that it was even not a "purely offensive" ability, as it also buffed defense skills, and helped with resource(just MP at the time)... it would be great to have the original Dark Arts remastered to fit with current Dark knight, though it better be remastered to still have damage, defense, and resource benefits... a damage-benefits only Dark Arts would just be a disappointment.
