I don't think there's much of an inconsistency; there's nothing that says THMs can't cast black magic, it's just that if you do it repeatedly without a focus, you blow up.
I'm more concerned as to why there's a spell called Virus, but apparently people still believe in the Humors theory of disease.
It's important to note that sometimes the name or function of a spell has nothing to do with lore (which, incidentally, is probably why sometimes the lore is inconsistent with regards to spells, or particularly thin), but with gameplay.
