The WoL can also be a Dark Knight, and/or a Black Mage, two jobs who are associated with darkness and the void. Black Magic was used in the ushering of the sixth Calamity, but it was created in the first place in order to save Eorzea from a meteor that would've otherwise created a Calamity on its own. Does it make Black Magic inherently evil that people used it for such purposes after the fact? Absolutely not, and that's been the recurring motif of the BLM questlines since you got your soul crystal.

I enjoy the FFXIV story overall, but I'm very lost as to where this game is going with the light and darkness balance thing, for nothing has been actually blurry or subtle here.
The WoDs being too strong caused their world to be overrun with Light, making it as barren and dead as the Void which was a world where the Ascians were too strong. In our world, the Ascians were the bad guys so long as they stood uncontested, but once we showed up we began standing up to them, and now we're the ones pushing back, which makes us the disturbance to the balance.
