No, Black Magic is harmless. Voodoo/Satanism etc.

Dark Magic is things like Blood Magic, Toxic Magic and Insetc Spirits.
Necromancy as of this book as well it seems . .


No Stahlseele, there is a Dark Magic tradition in Dark Terrors...

Wait, the ED crossover is IC knowledge for Jackpointers now?


Why not, Dunkelzahn, Lofwyr and Harlequin all shitposted on Jackpoint and lived in the 4th age. But also HMHVV and vampires weren't a thing in Earthdawn so whatevs. Personally, I'm more annoyed that instead of being the game about stealing shit from megacorporations the writers want it to be about ANCIENT HORRORS and YE OLDE ELMINSTERS OF OLDE MAGIK and WORLD-ENDING THREATS!!!111

Speak for yourself - I'm far more happy with the Fourth World connections than yet another "let's break in somewhere and steal some stuff" adventure.

But why? How does the information about vampires existing in the pre-historic Ukraine makes the game better?

If you're asking that question, you haven't read much of Earthdawn. It was a very rich setting, and its links to modern Shadowrun make the Sixth Age all the better as we not only get to see what came before, but what is likely to happen again, especially as many of the movers and shakers of the Fourth Age are still around (and still making the same mistakes, or are at least up their usual shenanigans). The Sixth World is barely awake - not even a century - and the real wonders and terrors are still to come. But they're starting to get hints of them, as more and more of the past is unearthed.
