Obscurial
/əbˈskjʊərɪəl/ noun
Definition: A young witch or wizard who develops a parasitic dark force, known as an Obscurus, as a result of repressing their magical abilities due to trauma, fear, or societal persecution.
Example: "The young boy, an Obscurial, could not control the destructive power of the Obscurus within him."
Characteristics: Typically marked by uncontrolled magical outbursts, unstable emotions, and a shortened lifespan due to the strain of harboring the Obscurus.
Origin: Derived from the Latin obscurus, meaning "dark" or "hidden," reflecting the repressed and dangerous nature of the magic.
