What’s happening to my Columbine flower plant? It had thrips which I took care of and am still treating it for and it flourished again but now it has black marks on several leaves. Is this a fungal infection? What do I do?

It does look fungal. It could be from the soil staying wet too long causing root rot. Check the roots. Increase airflow around the plant to help faster dry the soil. Increase light for better photosynthesis which uses water faster. This helps dry out the soil faster. 🪴🍀
