Well, I've been meaning to talk about how Xenoir survived SHB for a while, so why not now!
As mentioned previously, SHB saw Xenoir slowly losing his access to Black Magic as Light poisoning overtook him. It started gradually; a few fire spells that burnt out a little too quickly-

By the time of Mt. Gulg and the aftermath thereof
So how does the uniclass Black Mage survive?
Why, with the help ghost primal boyfriend tethered to his soul, of course!
Being, well, tethered to his soul, Charibert was sucked into
The primal Charibert is Astral Holy-aspected, as a combination of his life as a thaumaturge and his resurrection as an embodiment of one of the Knights Twelve. This means he is, essentially, unaspected but
Charibert, unwilling to see the stubborn fool he fell in love with get ground under someone else's boot, forced Xenoir to actively channel him, as Ysayle did Shiva. By this action could Xenoir still keep his mind while also righting his aether enough to fight Emet and live.
Any resemblance to Zephirin and Haurchefant is purely coincidental, I swear--
