I'm enjoying reading this 
just finished reading the Leafre bit, going to bed now.
Something I recall from doing the f/p arch-mage meteor quest regarding the dark magic book thingy with alcaster and the job people, in the victoria part, The quest involves Shammon or w/e, the guy in the basement of the 3rd job place. Basically its about how Shammon was a wizard learning about dark magic, but then he got corrupted, so the mage job advance people sealed away his power.
This isnt completely accurate, or complete, I'll see if I can find anything on it tommorow, just wanted to post now so I wouldnt forget
If you know anyone who is planning to do the meteo quest soon, you could always ask them, but I'll see what I can find as well.
edit: also a typo if you care, in Part 6, second paragraph, 5th line, Rombard/Rombot (forget name) is spelt Rombad. pretty sure thats not right >:
Alright so, I'll post all the text from the quest that is on MapleTips.com or w/e. I'll make a tl;dr at the end to, and expand a bit more.
First Quest: Robeira's Book
Second Quest: A Magician's Story
Third Quest: Another Crazy Genius?!
Fourth Quest: Shammos!
Fifth Quest: Grendel the Really Old's Apology
Sixth Quest: Robeira's Intentions
Seventh Quest: Robeira and Shammos
Eighth Quest: Meteo Shower
I think I missed a few quests involving the stuff with Dark Magic, but basically;
Shammos was a great magician, and a student(or friend, dont remember exactally :/) of Grendel the Really Old, but then he started using powerful Dark Magic. At first Grendel the Really Old couldnt see that his student(or friend) could be becoming corrupted, until he got so powerful he began to lose control. By then he was to powerful for Grendel to defeat, and he wouldnt have been able to finish off one of his students(/friends) anyway. Then, together with Robiera, they sealed his power away, and locked him away (in the bottom of the 3rd job place).
Regarding getting Meteo, Its part of this story, what happens is Shammos passes on some of his dark/powerful magic to you, which is meteo.
