Well, from what I can remember, Light Magic in Fire Emblem is faith-based, whereas Dark Magic is knowledge-based. The harder you believe in whatever you believe, the more magic you can use, OR, the more you learn about magic, the more magic you know how to use. The conflict is essentially the Good Scholar vs. the Overbearing Priest/Monk.
Perhaps whatever King is there is being manipulated by the pope-analogue. It occurs to me that the "dark side" of faith is indoctrination via brainwash. And when a church is in power, what activity occurs that scholars actively hate and try to prevent? Book Burning.
"Those that are keeping us from burning heretical tomes are traitors, and a traitor has one of two fates: exile, or death. We prefer the latter." Or something similar.
