The Dark Magicians (闇の魔法つかい)? are the main antagonists of the Magic World in the first half of Mahou Tsukai Pretty Cure!. Their goal is to claim the Linkle Stone Emerald to conquer all magic.
History[]
The Dark Magicians were formed by Dokurokushe, after his quest on preventing a calamity caused him to create the usage of Dark Magic and fall into darkness. The members are made of animals that Dokurokushe had given sentience to.
For the first half of the season, Dokurokushe's generals' goal is to seize the Linkle Stone Emerald. They eventually discover that Ha-chan is the source behind the Emerald's power, therefore capturing her along with the Emerald and the Linkle Smartbook. However, Dokurokushe gets purified and ascended by Ha-chan, just as he is about to attack Cure Miracle and Cure Magical.MTPC21
Later, Yamoh starts his quest on reviving Dokurokushe, unaware that he is being manipulated by Labut, who revived him, from the Never Ending Chaos.MTPC22 He is later purified again after Cure Felice unlocks the power of Pink Tourmaline Linkle Stone for the Flower Echo Wand.MTPC26
It is eventually revealed by Orba, who revived Batty, Gamettsu, and Sparda, that the Dark Magicians are the results of Dark Magic being an inferior version of Mugic, the main power of the Never Ending Chaos and Deusmast. After Sparda and Gamettsu are reverted back to being normal animals again, Batty snaps and throws Orba's Donyokubaru into space with his own Yokubaru. Batty then thanks the Cures and takes his departure afterwards.MTPC45
Six years later, Batty is revealed to have become a Magic School student. Yamoh also comes back to life, and gets closure with Dokurokushe from the Dokurokushe effigy Dokuromushe.MTPC50

Trivia[]
- The three generals, as well as Yamoh, have appearances based on different animals.
- Yamoh, Batty, Sparda and Gamettsu all made cameo appearances in episode 29, albeit as characters in the "Cinderella" story.
- In episode 45, Orba revealed that the Dark Magicians are only pawns to the Never Ending Chaos and therefore Deusmast's plan to conquer the universe.
- In the Live on Stage shows, another general appears, a self-centred woman named Calentier (カレンチール)? who commands over Batty, Sparda and Gamettsu (much to their annoyance).
- Sparda isn't in the shorter stage shows. However, in the musical live show, she debuts and even appears to be the leader of the trio.
- Yamoh does not appear in the shows, but Labut does (as a voiceover only), and the storyline of Labut reviving Yamoh is switched to Labut reviving Gamettsu instead.
- By episode 50, Batty and Yamoh are the only Dark Magicians who still retain their sentience.
- Yamoh is also the only Dark Magician who has regained his sentience more than once.
- As of ~MIRAI DAYS~ episode 12, Yamoh is the only Dark Magicians member who doesn't become a student in Magic School, excluding the deceased Dokurokushe.
