Huh. I kind of imagined it would be very important to understand Dark mana in order to e.g. assign elements to spells, and I don’t know how deeper analysis would have been possible without doing that.
To the extent that there was a specific ‘intended’ use for understanding Dark mana/trap for not doing so, it was this:
Dark heavily anticorrelates with Light.
Therefore, if you don’t know about Dark mana, spells that use Dark will naively appear to be stronger when Light is weak and weaker when Light is strong.
At the time of the scenario, though, both Dark and Light are low, and so if you haven’t figured out Dark you could get misled into assuming that the Dark-using spells are all strong because Light is low.
