Just because the class itself in the game is unable to do so doesn't mean that they can't. One could argue that some scholar spells are even black magic oriented, such as their drain ability and a couple of others.
Lorewise, the reason a "Scholar" can't use both white and black magic is that White Magic is being sat on by a pack of Elementals that say, "Nope." Â Additionally, in this game, White and Black Magic are portrayed as anathema to each other. Â Trying to use both, even without the monitoring that the Elementals are doing of Succor (that's White Magic), would probably make you explode. Â They come from completely different places (in terms of how they work), require completely different motivations to invoke, and seem to behave like oil and water.
