Black Mage Raise Ability

[Duelle]

so why are there still some Blms who even think about a "black lore raise"?

Can't speak for others, but to me the issue is that they tied BLM to thaumaturges in the first place. Part of the 1.0 storyline involved thaumaturges basically saying "oh heavens no. raising the dead? necromancy? no we definitely don't know anything about that--what's that, Neillefresne? You want to talk to someone who's already dead via a totally not necromantic ritual? Sure! Let me get my gear and we'll have that corpse talking faster than you can say dead elezen". If I were to hazard a guess, the 1.0 THMs were probably going to branch into that school of magic at some point, which is alluded to between the constant (and unconvincing) denials and ongoing rumors at the time.

Granted, I don't really care whether BLM gets a version of Raise or not (I lean towards "not"), but I don't think it's something that can be easily waved off.
