Oh gosh. Welcome! And to answer briefly (as others have said) that all sounds good!
I have a duskwight of a similar mind; out for Knowledge about the world on the unfamiliar 'surface', and trying to learn all he can from everyone he meets. He too is studying thaumaturgey (along with the other Aetherical arts, when he can manage) and has a strange connection to his own Aether that is sometimes problematic. That said, your concept seems perfectly sound to me. :>
One of the best ways to find more lore is to play the game, as others already mentioned. I know upon learning that when I joined, that I was inclined to play through a decent amount before I even wanted to begin RPing, just so I didn't mess something up. That said, though, the game is pretty nice itself; there is so much lore that is brought up by the main story quest, just random npcs, and various other side quests, and it's something the game does a really good job at keeping subtle, but there, instead of having it separated from everything else (like some do with journals or books or something). The lore isn't really just dumped on you, but very nicely integrated.
I'd also recommend screencapping lore bits you find in game that you might want to look up later, because, as it turns out, you will often find a lot of it mid dialogue. I know this has definitely helped me when I wanted to go back and look for something specific.
Lastly, if you settle on a concept and would like to RP sometime, I'd be glad to have our characters meet! I've not actually run into any other duskwight characters (that aren't terribly removed from their culture) thus far for my own to bounce off of, but if you go with this concept, and yours is also out for knowledge, has a proficiency and interest in Aether, and wouldn't mind the company of someone a little.. cryptic, then I would definitely be interested in the two of our characters meeting. :>
Feel free to prod me with questions or about RPs too, either here on the forums, or in-game (on Xavarian Mystrife), if you're on Balmung.
