"Dark" things in magic (4)

I believe the answer is:

arts

(Other definitions for arts that I've seen before include "'Poetry, music, painting (4)'" , "Poetry, music, painting etc." , "Aesthetic products for star" , "Cultural subjects; skills" , "they may be performing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
