Black Magic isn't Thaumaturgy, it's a technique and it's entirely fucking illegal. People openly talking about being black mages are worse than anyone RPing with lost limbs for power, because one of these is defined in-lore as being cause for arrest/death/horrible things and the other exists as a plausible grey area.
Also: Convert. Sacrifice HP for magical power.
And Another Thing Edit:
Posted below Oli, ignore
I personally agree with the bolded part. I'm taking extra measure in making sure that being a THM is the main thing about the character and being a BLM is a side thing that people might run into if they are lucky or manage to find him in the act. He is doing the full duties of a THM that they usually have done back in 1.0 [Working with Funerals, taking care of the dead, giving blessings of Nald'thal to those that seek him out, etc] instead of focusing on the pure blasty blasty death part like the new leadership that he finds himself disagreeing with.
1.0 THM was all about sacrifice to gain something out of it, especially with the healing where they drained their own HP to heal others. My character was taught the 2.0 THM ways but is being drawn into the teachings of the 1.0 THM through older tomes but he will never be to the same level as someone who was actually training during the 1.0 days.
