Character is an explicit good guy. Either in order to achieve a goal or by being forced into doing so by someone else, they have to use [[The Dark Side]]. Using the power itself is a technically neutral action, and in theory, it should be possible to use it to achieve the goal in question. But [[The Dark Side]] being [[The Dark Side]], it doesn't work like that. By its very nature, the power will somehow effect an alignment change in the character, and they will be a completely different person they were before they tried to use the power. They may or may not [[Heel Realization|realize it]], and [[Ignored Epiphany|may keep going even if they do]]. It can be a gradual process, as [[It Gets Easier]] (In video games, this is usually regarded as [[The Corruption]]).
Line 15:
Compare to [[He Who Fights Monsters]].
Related to [[Dark Is Evil]] and [[Bad Powers, Bad People]].

* In ''[[Magical Project S]]'', Misao Amano was an evil magical girl aiming to ruin the balance between good and evil. When she transformed into a form concerned with expressing the negative, repressed parts of her personality, however, she simply did things [[For the Evulz]] and lost sight of her original goal completely.
