Dunno, but I don't think they could just pick up a rapier and go about it. Then they'd just be a black mage... with a rapier. They're either going to need to seek a mentor, study religiously on the subject, or acquire a soulstone.Â
Can't really hand a musket to a bard and expect them to know how to reload, clean, assemble, or maintain their gun. Sure they can pull the trigger, but that's about it. It's not about schools of magic or experience there-of, it's about technique and discipline in their respective arts.
EDIT: for clarification, I'm not saying an RPer couldn't go from BLM -> Red Mage... that's not an issue, I'm just saying a black mage has to learn some new tricks in the process.
