It was spelled out in the lore at the release of Aht Urhgan, IIRC. <.<
If not, the BLU AF quests make it quite clear.

Besides, Soulflayers are Black Mages. Do you really want your two-hour to turn you into a Black Mage?
"Oh whoopee, once every two hours I can cast Burst II instead of 1000 Needles" <.<

Much more interesting to see what happens when you throw aside the spell slotting restrictions for a minute and get a BLU with a bajillion job traits and stat bonuses (plus many more spells to choose from for casting.)

===========
ON that note, these are the stats you get from slotting EVERY blue magic spell:
HP+80
MP+188
STR+27
DEX+32
VIT+35
AGI+43
INT+19
MND+32
CHR+7

If you bump off the negative modifiers (this is a two-hour after all,) then add these:
HP+115 = HP+195
MP+10 = MP+198
STR+3 = STR+30
DEX+1 = DEX+33
VIT+1 = VIT+36
AGI+1 = AGI+44
INT+4 = INT+23
MND+4 = MND+36
CHR+14 = CHR+21

THat's on top of twenty-eight different Job Traits ( http://ffxi.gamerescape.com/wiki/Blue_Mage/Job_Traits ).
