A Black Magician is a magician that can use Black Magic.
Sachakans generally do not make this distinction as The use of Black/Higher magic is common.
The Guild of Kyralia created an official position with this name for such magicians after the Ichani Invasion. They are classed as a Guild Higher Magician, but have rules attached to the position. Black Magicians cannot leave the city of Imardin without the agreement of the High Lord and/or Administrator, they may also not teach others except for Black Magic to those appointed by the Guild, or in special circumstances
