I don't know if black magic got its start in the third astral era by emperor xande. He was trying to get a stable portal to the void linked to the source.
the sin eaters werent even around during the 5th calamity. they have only been around for 100 years on the first meaning about 2-3 years on the source cause the timeline between them got all kinds of screwed up.
