I am an alleged roleplayer, so take this as you will.
My character, Aeriyn, is a black mage, but she's smart enough to know what she is isn't really well-thought-of (and sometimes feared for their power), so she just doesn't tell people she's a black mage. Most average folk wouldn't know the difference from Fire III and Flare, so she only has to hide her "forbidden black" techniques from learned individuals who would recognize the subtle differences between thaumaturgy and true black magic.
Aeriyn's access to black magic came through an aetherial accident that happened during the Battle of Cartenau, a sort of Noodle Incident involving corrupted aether, a Dalamud fragment, an exploding Garlean magitek armor and the weird kitty herself. Before this incident that changed her physical appearance and wrecked her memory, altered her personality and left her... strange.
