Darkness (暗黒剣, Ankokuken?), also known as Dark Blade, is a command in the Final Fantasy series, associated with the Dark Knight job. It allows the Dark Knight to use various special attacks, effects ranging from absorbing HP from enemies to dealing dark-elemental damage. It should not be confused with the Dark Knight's Souleater ability.

Darkside (or Darkness in the japanese translation) is part of the Dark Knight skillset and is learned after completing Ishgardian Justice quest at Level 30. The skill increases damage dealt by 15% at a cost of slowly draining own MP. The Dark Knight will also not receive any MP regeneration effect from outside sources as long as Darkside is activated. Should the Dark Knight's MP drops to zero, Darkside will be deactivated.
