But those people don't seem to be 'gifted' with the Overseer's powers. They seemed more like Sokolov; they sought them out.

Granny Rags, someone we know to be a true servant of the Outsider, was relatively neutral. She wasn't actively harming anyone except Slackjaw, who had sent men to rob her. Daud and his assassins, besides their propensity towards killing people for money, are positively benevolent--they have the definite feel of 'honorable assassins,' especially if you read Daud's note thing.

I guess the whole 'tracking down black magic users' would likely be folded into the duties of the City Watch. Overseers, we've seen, are open to too much corruption, and even as a non-millitant church it seems like they have too much power.
