Dark Bring
Encyclopedia
Dark Bring are evil magical stones from the Japanese anime
show and manga series Groove Adventure RAVE (called Rave Master
in the American version). Dark Bring generally take the form of dark purple stones of any size and shape (some had even been accessorized by their owners into various ornaments) that steadily give off a faint purple to pinkish glow from time to time. These stones are used by many antagonists in the series, but are mainly used by the criminal organization known as Demon Card. The goal for the Rave Warriors, Haru Glory
, is to collect all the RAVE stones and destroy the mother Dark Bring Sinclaire. Based on their level of power, Dark Brings are separated into different groups. If a person uses Dark Bring too much, it will turn the user into evil, even if the user is good at heart or uses it for good.
All Dark Bring Stones are unique in that each of them houses a different power; this unique power varies from person to person, some of which had been shown to be a manifestation of the wielder's will or inherent strength. Each of them is also given significant names that can be in any way related to that power.
The subject of the article is the main weapon used by the antagonists in the series. The list of these weapons is far too long to be added onto the already long page, so it is necessary to create a new page for them.
The Mother Stone of All Dark Bring, it is the true combined form of Endless, The King of Oblivion, and the five Mother Dark Brings. It holds all of the powers of the five Mother Dark Brings, and its assimilation initiates the destruction of the world. As its title suggests, it gives an individual the power to destroy entire dimensions. It is the Dark Bring that unleashed the Overdrive explosion 50 years ago when Shiba destroy it. It takes on the form of an electric-violet stone on a necklace appearing like a small version of the form it took when Shiba destroyed, i.e. a purple stone with an evil eye design on the face and silver wings and talons adorning it, and is used by Lucia. It is restored when the Endless and the five Mother Dark Brings (in reality Sinclaire's five shards from when Shiba shattered it) are combined by Lucia. After it is resurrected by Lucia it is destroyed by Haru. According to Franken Billy in Rave Master manga volume 10, Sinclaire is the Dark Bring of the gods.
One of the Mother Dark brings, and the first and main piece of the True Sinclaire. It can cause large explosions and create warped dimensional spaces with great enough pressure to annihilate anything. The explosions are similar to Overdrive but on a smaller scale. The Dark Bring is located in a sword-shaped necklace around Lucia's neck. This Dark Bring is used by Lucia Raregroove.
One of the Mother Dark Brings, the second piece of Sinclaire, it prevents the owner from being harmed by any physical attack, even if it pierces the body. Fists, bullets, & swords are all useless against this Dark Bring. It is, however, useless against non-physical attacks such as magic. The Dark Bring is made into a necklace and the stone itself is covered in spikes similar to a flail ball. This dark bring was used by Commander Ogre, then was in the possession of Sieg Hart until Lucia assembled it with Endless to make the ultimate Dark Bring.
One of the Mother Dark brings, the third piece of Sinclaire. Used by Captain Hardner. The Dark Bring first appears as a necklace similar to a checkered egg, but now appears as a stone on his chest armor. The main powers of this Dark Bring is resurrection, allowing the user to heal himself from seemingly grievous wounds or to call up living or non-living things that has been destroyed. He can also use it to control plants by filling them with life, restoring enemies' past wounds, and also to rebuild buildings and ruins that have been destroyed. Drawback is that the user has to have enough energy to use its powers
One of the Mother Dark Brings, the fourth piece of Sinclaire. Originally used by Demon Lord Ashura until it came into Lucia's possession (though Ashura has complete control over the Dark Brings embedded on his body even without it), It allows Lucia to have the absolute power over all Dark Brings, plus allowing him to access the powers of every single Dark Bring ever created. He can also choose to destroy any dark bring, in case it is being used against him. The dark bring takes the form of a dark gem in a detailed necklace, but has assimilated with the other mother DB's and Endless to form the ultimate Dark Bring.
One of the Mother Dark Brings, the fifth piece of Sinclaire, this Dark Bring has control over gravity and repulsion, allowing the user to either draw in the enemy or push them back. When mastered, it can "pull physical matter into darkness" as quoted by Doryu himself. With this dark bring, Doryu was able to literally obliterate two ships and tore Musica
apart; piece by piece. The Dark Bring is located in a crescent moon-shaped necklace around Doryu's neck. This dark bring is used by Pumpkin Doryu, but is now in the possession of Raitei, until it is assembled with Endless to make the ultimate Dark Bring.
The King of Oblivion, as its name suggests, it gives an individual the ability to form an endless void that consumes all that it is before its power .It takes on the form of a dark-colored slime ball on a necklace, and is used by Lucia.It can be noted that Endless the dark bring is not the same as Sinclaire, which was destroyed by Shiba. Not actually one of the five Mother Dark Bring its dark power is ; however, used as a catalyst to resurrect Sinclaire itself in the final of the story.
. This dark bring is able to create an explosion in any given spot. This spot is indicated by a pink, spherical grid. Everything inside is hit with a powerful explosion. When Haru
first met Shuda, he had to deal with this dark bring, but was able to overcome it using Silfarion. After Haru met up with Shuda again, Shuda had improved the power of his dark bring, by being able to stop all enemies inside the grid from moving (this is what defeated him before). Unfortunately, since it is fire-based, the explosions are weakened by water. Ballettänzer Zeffrea is translated into Explosive Flame Ballet in Vol. 20, and harnesses the power of fire. This dark bring was destroyed by Lucia when Shuda tried to attack him.
. This dark bring is able to create metal (in this case, silver) from literally nothing. In combination with her silverclaiming skills (alchemic control over silver) Reina is able to create silver, and then mold it into anything she chooses from shields to spears. The dark bring is located in the silver snake on her right arm. After Reina sacrificed herself to destroy the Silver Ray, her dark bring became a part of Musica's Silver Ray. White Kiss harnesses the power of metal. Techniques include:
. This dark bring is able to temporarily "freeze" enemies in their tracks, shape itself into an ice sword, and encase enemies in solid ice. The location and original form of this dark bring is unknown, but it could possibly be inside Julius's crucifix. Armure D'Etoile can be translated into Star Armor and harnesses the power of ice. Techniques include:
It was said to be the most powerful Dark Bring, with exception to the Mother Dark Brings. Powerful, that even King himself, is afraid of it, and forbids Deep Snow from using it. Though powerful, Deep Snow's Type-56's powers were defeated by Shuda aided with Gale's sword. The Dark Bring is located on Deep Snow's chest embedded to himself.

Type-61
Used by Haja, this dark bring was the secret to Haja's infinite magical powers, though he was a great sorcerer without it.

It turns illusions into real objects for an instant. In combination with Lance's Beast Sword, which creates illusions of wolves and lions when swung, it can allow the illusions to inflict physical damage even while Lance is holding the Beast Sword in stationary (thereby eliminating the Sword's blatant weakness). Its weakness lies in the fact that the illusions can only be substantial for a set amount of time (hence the name) before they dissipate back into nothingness. The Dark Bring is embedded into the beast sword and is used by Demon Card Officer LanceLance
A Lance is a pole weapon or spear designed to be used by a mounted warrior. The lance is longer, stout and heavier than an infantry spear, and unsuited for throwing, or for rapid thrusting. Lances did not have tips designed to intentionally break off or bend, unlike many throwing weapons of the...
