I ran into these guys a bit ago while doing a quest and it got me wondering who they are, how they are related to thaumaturges & black mages, and what exactly is the difference between the two groups?

Were did you see that , been a while. A void mage could be separated into different things. For example Mages that use void magic to summon demons from the Void. Example mages who summoned Diablos and tried to harness Void magic. Also the raid in Void Ark , City, and Dun Talk about that as well. IF you have done Warriors of Darkness story as well it explains different realms have different names for same jobs. If you can be a bit more specific, quest name, ect I may be able to give you a more accurate answer.
As far as I can tell, the basics are thematically related to Black Magic incidentally through Mhach, but the two disciplines are far from synonymous, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive.
As you can tell from the story arc, arrogance was as much to blame for the downfall of Mhach as it was the downfall of Allag. They took for granted that their protections and bindings and barriers were sufficient, but the techniques they learned from voidsent were deliberately flawed, destined to break down under certain eventual circumstances.Quote:

As for which quest it was, I really wish I could remember the specifics, I think it was related to the thaumaturge class story arc and the eight brothers. It was quite some time ago.
Hmm, this void magicks school sounds like it would be an interesting job.
