As for the whole bit; Lorebending is required for some; for example, Lost River's secondary class (was primary, but no one) was Black Mage; She is also a 1.0 character.
With her background, she was a basic thaumaturge that (with many others) undergone a special project to amplify her powers to that of a black mage by artificially creating a void touched; as void touched are more akin to the dark arts if they were a thaumaturge. It was somewhat of a (40% success rate) success in their attempt as was most of those who undergone its transformation. This was all done in part to help against the ensuring battle against the Empire.
It worked, but at a serious cost; Lost's magic was amplified and she basically ended up killing her entire party (i.e. her husband and friends) as well as the enemy around her. The side effects of such also were in play, as her left eye almost seemingly moves on it's own, is red, and reflects light when shown directly against. As well, it colored her psyche to a more destructive nature.
While it isn't directly in the lore, it is a plausible example of making a Black Mage, especially in times of desperation; it was also used in such to say 'not everyone is a Good Guy' in the end, not saying that Lost is a bad guy now, but the real aims of the project, were they only done for good?
In short, with how this goes; it's easier to bend the lore or inject your own backing into the story as long as it rolls with the story to the part as if it was a "what if...", as mentioned earlier though, all the Jobs, but that of the Dragoon seem easier to manipulate to make it a valid RP place; Dragoon is far too "Chosen One", more so than White Mage ever could be.
