    None of the jobs employed by the WoL are neutral or evil. They are ALL good since the WoL can only be good.

    The cases of dark magics or dangerous techniques used by the likes of Dark Knights, Black Mages or Warriors are not exceptions. The job quest lines for these jobs are very explicit that you are tapping into dark and dangerous abilities and learning to control them for a good cause.

    Black Magic is illegal not because it is evil but because people cannot be trusted to learn to wield it safely. It also once caused an Umbral Calamity, though ironically this was alongside White Magic, so if that makes Black Magic evil it also makes White Magic evil (this is actually why the Padjali are incredibly reluctant to teach anyone their art).

    That's a matter of debate which is entirely up to roleplaying. Just because you fight "evil" beings doesn't mean you're necessarily good. I consider my WoL to be a true neutral who does quests and fights powerful foes simply because they can, with no regard to whether it's good or evil to do so. Other's could argue that while their WoL is an evil character, they take on quests and help people simply because they are paid to do so, or because they want to prove that they're stronger than the other "evil" foes that exist. Just because you're a Warrior of "Light" doesn't make you instantly good. What matters in terms of good vs evil is the motivation behind doing an act.....
