Hi! Welcome to Balmung and the RPC!
When it comes to classes, jobs are always tricky. The jobs in the game are often reserved for the Warrior of Light only, or for a very small and select group (often related to very rare access to knowledge, and soul stones). Not all are so rare, but Black Mage is one of those that is exceptionally rare - because of their nature and their role in a previous cataclysm they are also, I believe, kill-on-sight for most realm authorities.
That said, Thaumauturges cover most of the same concept in a package tailor made for a Lalafel. I would encourage you in that direction unless there is something very specific about the Black Mage that you want to capture for your character, but that title on its own will introduce a host of its own baggage.
This is probably obvious, but it is sometimes worth pointing out: the game allows your character to master any number of classes and jobs, but most RPers take a much more realistic approach to these sorts of things in terms of what they rolepay, and tend to focus on achievements that would be plausibly achievable. Just because you have a class or job all leveled up, does not mean that you must, or should, RP it is an aspect of your character.
There are plenty of people who RP a character who is both a mage and a mighty warrior, but there are also plenty who may find that rather implausible. Which path you want to walk really depends upon what sort of RP you enjoy, what sort of story you want to tell, and what sort of character you want to play.
Its probably worth a little thought about just what it is you'd like to do: play a little samurai, play a little mage or play a little mage who is also a samurai
