Defense Against The Dark Arts

Defense Against The Dark Arts is a form of study that sorcerers learn for themselves in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. This study requires the use of magic wands for both attack and defense against all forms of dark magic.

In the Sorcerer's Guild, this is a required study for all students in order to graduate.

Papa Smurf, having learned about using magic against dark forces when growing as a Smurf, taught this to Brainy in order to properly train him as his successor. Brainy in turn taught this to Miracle, who proved to be more adept in the skill of magical defense than Brainy had thought him to be.

This is based on the form of study taught at Hogwarts in the Harry Potter book and film series.
