* ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'': Back during the Age Of Myth, Ulgu, the Realm of Shadow, was known as a haven for philosophers and dreamers, and people who wanted a softer existence than the fast-paced Aqshy or the ever-shiftin Chamon. Of course, that was before the Age of Chaos ruined everything, and today the Realm is a lot more dangerous. Even now, though, its ruler, Malerion, is a staunch ally of [[BigGood Sigmar]] and the Pantheon of Order, albeit an AloofAlly and ReformedButNotTamed from his days as the Witch-King Malekith.

** This directly contradicts the original manga and anime, which depicted most Shadow Magic as stemming from evil sources and dangerous to use (although several good characters were able to use it), and had one deity explicitly called the Creator God of Light. But the sequel anime tend to make up their own lore all the time, so it's not much of a surprise.

Despite this, it may still carry some of the usual problems of dark powers, such as the NobleDemon spirits empowering the SwordOfPlotAdvancement deciding that their user is [[OnlyTheChosenMayWield not worthy enough to use them]], or simply the usual problem of prolonged exposure to the darkness being dangerous to the mind. Note that "sacred" does not have to equal "good." More often, these characters embody a morally neutral concept or ideal. On rare occasions, villains can use The Sacred Darkness, but usually this only works when they are opposing another villain who is using the corrupted variant in an ALighterShadeOfBlack situation.

** In ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'', Luke sought to [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil reconcile the two]] with his OrderReborn, balancing the Sith's passions with the Jedi's discipline by allowing members to marry and raise families, and encouraging individual self-education alongside more regimented learning.
