If you want to do it I say do it.

The game lets you play as multiple occupations and acquire multiple skillsets, so go wild.

My character Aeriyn is a black mage who, after entering the Wanderer's Palace on a mission for the Maelstrom, rescued a Nymian fairy who was imprisoned in a shard of corrupted aether. The fairy, Rinah, has been disconnected from the aetherial flow and will die eventually if things are left as they are. 

Aeriyn's current character arc centers around both trying to help Rinah and to science the crap out of the incident that severed the fairy from her original summoner, stuck her in a shard of corrupted aether and disconnected her from the source of her existence. During the events of this plot, Rinah teaches Aeriyn the spells and formulae of the Nymian scholars. 

So Aeriyn is ICly both a veteran black mage and a novice scholar. The way the plot's going, she'll likely also start learning about the Allagan art of summoning as well. I don't see a problem with your characters having diverse skillsets because people in real life can have diverse skillsets, and the game allows you to do it, so why the hell not? Smile
