From KillerChristian:
Dark Orb
1 s, 12 INT, 10FTH (20-30 uses)

– Similar to Soul Arrow, casts an orb that flies towards enemy. Doesn't go as fast or as far as Soul Arrow, but has larger impact point.
Dark Hail
2 s, 19 INT, 12 FTH (8-15 uses)
Acquired from Straind of Olaphis, Magerold of Lanafir, Darkdiver Grandahl
– Fires spread of smaller orbs in a cone towards enemy. Shorter range, can hit multiple targets.
Dark Fog
2 s, 25 INT, 14 FTH (4-8 uses)
Acquired from Straind of Olaphis, The Gutter

Acquired from Straind of Olaphis, Kobolds
– Similar to Homing Soulmass, but the small orbs target the nearest enemy. Can target multiple enemies if many are nearby. At 40 INT you have 3 orbs, 50 INT you have 4, and 60 INT you have 5 (max).
Dead Again
2 s, 22 INT, 20 FTH (10-20 uses)
