Would it be best to use under coat, or just apply a few coat of magnolia before hand?

You will have to put on several coats (of paint I mean, not you.) Start with an undercoat in white then buy some good quality "one coat" paint and be prepared to put on at least 2 - 3 coats.
If you already have the magnolia and are working to a budget then use that, but you'll probably have to do it several times.
Goths huh! Don't you just love em....

lots of coats of the paint you are intending to have is the best way. From matt black to beige you will probably need 3 coats. And make sure you load the roller heavily.
If you are doing glosswork u need to sand the black down and apply a water based undercoat until the black has gone folllowed by your topcoat.

Start with a primer undercoat tinted the same color as your regular paint. Then you'll still probably need 2-3 coats of the finish paint. You'll do fine. Just be patient and keep applying layers 'til you're satisfied with the results.

Firstly see if you can remove as much black paint as you can. The apply a good undercoat. This Will give an even colour to the wall when the next colour is applied. Then wait for undercoat to dry, allow second cote if needed and finally apply the new colour.

My kids 'decorated' one of our walls with poster paint hand prints and the only thing that would cover them up was two coats of One Coat white paint. I'd give that a go, although you may need more than a couple of coats.

A light sanding down followed by 1 x undercoat and 2 x top coat.
Job done.

You need either to get rid of the paint by sanding it or use several coats of undercoat. Use a good undercoat not magnolia

Apply a good coat of undercoat or primer if you just cover it with paint it can bleed through and then you've wasted a-lot of time and a-lot of paint

A couple of coats of a pinkish undercoat to get rid of the black, then put your chosen colour on top of that.
