If you would like to see this happening, all this is explained while going through the BLU AF gear quest "Transformations" (starting npc: Waoud again while being BLU lvl50+). You'll see a BLU not making it as one & transforms in Alzadaal Undersea Ruins. The rest of the AF gear is obtained via Lathuya in Aht Urhgan Whitegate.
I think the word you're looking for is explanation.
Anyways, nice job on the lack of spoiler alerts, OP.
And yes, this is how it is. No, it does not make any sense that Soulflayers, as former Blue Mages, are all Black Mages.
Anyways "went crazy" isn't quite the right term.
As part of becoming a Blue Mage, the form of the Blue Mage's soul (normally a static 'shape') is permanently destabilized, allowing the Blue Mage to copy the shape of a monster's soul and thus mimic its power momentarily. As a result, a Blue Mage has to actively and constantly maintain their soul's shape as that of their own.
A Soulflayer is a Blue Mage who is no longer able to willfully maintain the shape of their soul as that of who they are. The destabilized soul collapses and reforms into that of a soulflayer - and the body follows suit.
As far as I know, there has never been an explanation as to why Soulflayers are Black Mages. I wonder if it might have to do with the process of creating the Cobalt that is used to make Blue Mages?
Really? Where are these NPCs?

Adoulin is installed but still not lighting up on your title screen? Here's what to do:

Explication sounds just right in this context. It is not implicated, but the opposite, explicated.
^ This. Explication was used correctly. It means to make the meaning of something clear.
calm down kids... and I miss doing those jse quests
The immediate one that comes to mind is in one of the Mamool assaults.
I got to thinking when doing the RUN unlock quest, though. That guy talked about the runic brands going haywire. I wonder what sorts of fun implications that could have if you crossed the streams(so to speak) with out of control runic and blue magic in one individual at the same time.
