I can see how you have had trouble finding out about it. It is a rather obscure topic. The english wikipedia merely mentions that it is an aspect of balinese mythology but there is no page for it or description.

I have found a few pages however they were originally written in Indonesian and the translator does not work perfectly so you have to concentrate to understand what is being talked about to get to the pages follow these links (sorry for their length)

this link here gives a brief over-view of the storyline although it is not directly linked as it is talking about a play of it www.planetmole.org...

there would also appear to be a 1985 film on calon arang for more information on it search the imdb database.

Thank you so much for the insight
then it's true, spiritual things
are here to stay
in fact we are spiritual ourself right?

Does anyone wants to accompany me to this event?
does anybody want to add to this post?
The Calon Arang is still there not some ancient myth

ancient warfare indeed includes magician in their wars
maybe calon arang participants was a magician
at their kingdom long time ago?
