DarkMagician is the slash ship between Magician/Ales Mansay and Mr. Dark from the Rayman fandom.

Canon
There's no romantic link between the characters in the series.

Rayman 1
In R1 the characters have been presented as opposed to eachother. The Magician was then on the side of the good guys by helping Rayman with his adventure by offering an extra life in exchange for 10 tings.

Rayman 1 Era Educational Games
In Rayman Brain Games Mr. Dark breaks into Magician's house to steal the Book of Knowledge and in English with Rayman he steals a map from him.

Rayman Origins
In Rayman Origins he was revealed to be the main villain of the game. Magician has Mr. Dark posters in his office with a heart on it. Also in the beta script of Rayman Origins he favorably describes him as 'dark and mysterious' and wishes to be like him.

They're similarity results from Magician admiring Mr. Dark-tall hats, blue and purple color pallete. Also they're both villains who use magic to some extend.

Quotes
"I always wanted to be like Mr. Dark: mysterious, dark!...um, dark and mysterious.. Ha-ha!..."

Fanon
It is unknown how the ship started but it most likely gained traction when Rayman Origins have released. In the fanon the ship is usually portrayed as one-sided with Magician being the one in love, with sometimes the feeling being reciprocated by Mr. Dark. Both of them are sometimes portrayed as parents to Raymesis/Dark Rayman (Mr. Dark created him).
