It still seems over powered to me. But I'll let it go for now. However, if I see something over powered in the Ic, I will have to ask you to alter it. This isn't just for you, it goes for everyone. Except Time Lord. Time Lord is a special case and as the story goes on everyone will see why.

Magical books were hidden and I find it doubtful that anyone would be able to find them. Given that, and I can reveal this without hurting the story, they were hidden by fairy tail mages before they disappeared, those that survived of course. It makes it hard to trace a lineage back to them, and any other guilds. As for how magics exist, well then you have to ask the question-how did the first mages ever learn their magics? Trail and error. Trial. And. Error. And some people had masters who taught them, probably taught by others themselves. 

It would also have been very hard to find the dark guilds,even by chance or stumbling into them. They wanted to stay hidden as much as any other Mage and lee their actions unable to be linked to them. Not saying  Ha someone might have been able to find them, just that it is a very very very very very very slim chance if you didn't know they existed-so reading about them would not have been enough.

If you think it's OP even after knowing that it has specific limitations and time constraints, then I have to ask this.

What makes you call it OP specifically?

As an additional question on that topic. If I were to do something "OP" ICly it would more than likely be because I didn't see how it was OP, or didn't consider something. Aka, it would be a mistake, not an inherent way the magic is used. As such, I'd prefer if I'm just told "this is OP," and why it is. After which I would apologize and avoid making similar mistakes as that's what it would be, a mistake.

Hmm. So the idea of passed down knowledge is fine. The idea of Dark Guilds existing before the 7 year mark is fine, but him coming into contact with one is still highly unlikely.

Still, a high unlikelihood is not a 0% chance, so [i]someone[/i] would have found one. If you have suggestions as to how it could have happened, I'd be grateful to hear them. Otherwise, I'll just say he was unlucky and particularly inquisitive. His inquisitive nature is already a thing, and his bad luck is hinted at, though he may have considerably less bad luck nowadays. Being cautious will do that.
