    Well this idea goes flying right out the window when in regards to the Warrior of light. No matter what job he/she takes up they are always ALWAYS Lawful dumb/ Stupid good.

    Alot of your actions are of questionable legality and they focus on whether or not the support of the city states in the face of beast tribes isn't just blatant imperialism, but hey we can't all have Bioware style morality of "would you like to" "Pet this puppy" or "Murder/rape these orphans" either way the story is far more complex than the simplicities of the allignment chart and has no interest in following it.

    Well, the jobs themselves can't kind an alignment at all if you really want to take it there but to keep in spirit with the idea of the tread; the warrior of light is not the job itself.

    Just because the warrior of light is a nice good guy black mage, doesn't mean that the essence of the class isn't pure destructive force. So much so the entirety of it's class quests is spent essentially fighting against it.

    The summoner forcefully binds spirits to serve it, which I would count as evil as well, no matter what you do with them afterward.

    These points tie together more than I think you realize. The power of the void (A BLM's power source) is incredibly dangerous even to someone in absolute control of it. Anything less than absolute control is as much a danger to one's self as it is to others. Same with the Egis. When you first invoke one you call out the essence of a primal from within you, and it immediately tries to kill you, and should one ever lose control over it after beating it the 1st time then it could presumably finish what it's Source Primal started and kill you. Thus why we use our Archanimic formulas to program it like we do Carbuncles. They are less powerful but far easier and safer to control.

    (We do not use any of the original forms of the Job powers, we just take on what the job crystals tell us to the skill sets we've already learned from our class training)

    Danger is not Evil. IS a storm evil? is electricity Evil? is a car? The fact that people who abuse black magic are evil is true.. but that is EQUALLY true of every other job. If you think potential for abuse is evil then they all are. Each and every job deals with those who might abuse its power on some level. The idea that Black magic is some how super evil when every DOW class is "I learn to use items to kill people" is a joke.

    Also Egi aren't spirits, they are construct born of your will, Personal Primals.
