Do we know that the 'Age of Dark' is pitch black? The Age of Light has both light and dark within it, could the age of Dark be similar, but with darkness as the rule and light as the exception? Interestingly, since this is the state of our current, IRL universe, where infinite blackness is punctuated by tiny dots of light from stars, a whole different realm of possibilities presents itself.

Furthermore, even in the sprites of humanity or the dark spells, there is always some element of light within it. For example, the dark spell projectiles have tiny white dots that look like eyes. Remember that this series is Japanese, what we think of as 'light' and 'dark' as a metaphor for good and evil may be more akin to the 'yin' and 'yang' of Buddhist tradition, where neither is good and the only evil is imbalance (the First Sin of Gwyn, to disrupt the balance by linking the fire)
