Darkness, also known as Dark, Black or Bane, is one of the six basic elements (eight in the PSP remake of Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together). It's associated with the evil powers of the Netherworld.
Undead units are naturally attuned to the Dark element, as such they are immune to it (and even heal thought it). In exchange, the are weak to Light element, and can be killed with healing spells.
