520 _a"Black magic" by Marjorie Bowen is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in a medieval European world of churches, workshops, and universities, it follows the intense bond between Dirk Renswoude and Theirry, two ambitious young men drawn to forbidden arts that promise power while imperiling their souls. Their path is crossed by the heedless noble Balthasar and the gracious Lady Jacobea, as faith, temptation, and occult ambition collide. The opening of Black magic introduces Dirk, a solitary craftsman in Flanders, visited by Balthasar of Courtrai and his companion Theirry. Dirk reveals the sad tale of Balthasar’s unseen wife, Ursula, who fled the convent and died years before, buried beneath the daisies in his garden; Balthasar departs untroubled, while Dirk and Theirry discover a shared hunger for black magic and swear a pact. They attempt a midnight evocation that yields troubling visions, then leave for Basle, where Dirk’s brilliance grows and an ominous bannered horseman appears at dawn on their journey. In Basle, Theirry is captivated by Lady Jacobea, provoking Dirk’s ire; the two secretly work a spell against a rival student, Joris, who collapses in torment, and Theirry, shaken by guilt, kneels in chapel as the dread consequences of their pact begin to surface.
