@S'Janna Well what I meant is that unlike having two different classes, Black Mage is basically a straight upgrade of thaumaturge, so you can't just end up being BLM without starting as a thaumaturge, unlike something like Archer and Bard, those two can be very different rp wise even if it's technically an upgrade of Archer.
@LeCard That's actually a pretty good idea, though she wouldn't be able to use technique even at their weakset application. But I can see that somewhat working.
@Mr.Bear But what are the requirements to become a black mage when you're a thaumaturge in the RP world? How do you become one?
@Maeve @Asyria Wait what, last time I read the wiki it was Pugilist that was needed? Well drawing a bow still requires a lot of arm strength, arcanist though is doable.
@Kaoru @Magellan I thought about it but Bard can be handled very differently from Archer, while THM and BLM and pretty much the same. Still I do agree somewhat.
Well thanks for the answers.
Well the RP requirement of a black mage I suppose would be for your character to have a great deal of opportunity within him/herself to allow this kind of power first and foremost. Secondly she would need to know someone or know a way to get those secrets of the past, that dark and destructive magic. A way to learn the ways of the black mage.
It may very well be more difficult than game mechanics would make you believe, but it might be good RP because of that.

level 15 is pretty much basic training, so it would fit.
That being said...why would any class with a physical component be included in a black mage job is beyond me....
I think they did that purely out of a gameplay point of view, not something that makes much sense lorewise/RP-wise
It's likely because archer was thought to be valuable for black mages. They have cross class abbilities that come in use for the black mage, so they made it the standard.

Sometimes things that seem like they shouldn't, require a great deal of physical fitness. Like playing music.

Hey that's actually a very good point. Thaumaturges draw from within themselves, it may very well be!
