Agreed. A'rklonn for example, is a BLM, lock stock and barrel, and a Summoner on top of it. Because he's spent a lot of his life studying Allagan artifacts, tomestones, and other things he probably shouldn't, through less than legal means. The thing is, he's never once told anyone he knows the Black. His wife and daughters know and that's it. He knows better. He's mentioned to a few friends and a acquaintances he can Summon as Summoning is a little easier to learn (From what I gathered in the stories), and not 'forbidden' so much as 'lost'. But IC he also only knows how to summon Ifrit and Titan since he's only fought them, and Levi IC. As he has the Echo, he's able to enter such fights, and in his story, he's gone into said fights because he was asked by his Grand Company to do so to aid other groups because the Warrior(s) of Light were not available at the time. Realistically, the WoL can't be there for *every* summoning of the Primals, and with the frequency the quests are given it's like the Tribes summon one every friggin' month or so. So I didn't think it'd be too farfetched to say the GCs were like 'hey yeah, this guy has a pretty decent rank in our organization and we know he can fight (He's Maelstrom IC, civilian consultant with rank because he translates languages and handles shipping routes as well as clearing out undesirables), so he went along to help handle the Eikon problem. They aren't aware he has Echo, very few are; only that he's skilled, like the way the Company of Heroes was skilled. Throw too many at it to temper, basically.Â
The key to having a special job is not only a good explanation but not to throw it all over the place. If you're a WHM, or a BLM, advertising it is bad for you. You can probably get away with going 'yeah I'm just that good of a Thaum/Conjy' if someone sees you use white or black magic and they don't know either of the arts themselves. An IC warrior for example who's never studied magic would likely not know Black Magic from Thaumaturgy. Remember that you're keeping a big secret if you use these spells. That's a good tie in to a lot of things. hell, it's an Rp in and of itself to sneak around and try to be as effective as you can with your power, while making sure nobody knows the truth.
