Hi,
well let's see. Now according to Square Enix:
"In days long past, there existed an occult and arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin.
Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will."

Not to spoil anything for you, but I just finished the quest line all the way to 70. I will not speculate other than to say, we cast magic, it is harmful magic, so we should be mindful of that when dealing with people and creatures.
[I dont know of any of the other mentioned things such as where you quote
[I'm loosely familiar with the idea that Black Mages tap the soulstream to cast their spells, but some people tell me this can be done with ease while others state that its terribly exhausting.]
If you can find a reference for anything, please use it. Otherwise, you will only bring yourself headaches speculating. Now, I have read other posts from other speculators saying such things as it is illegal. Well, if this be the case, why is it taught in the Tharmaturge school as an option?
Sorry I can poke holes in crap all day. References please or it didn't happen....One more credible source is the Eorzea Encyclopedia ^^.
