You can't really create a fountain just by having determination and striking the earth. The Darkners believe this simply because they are retarded and have limited knowledge and deify mundane events, since the Dark World transforms everything and has a quality of making the mundane transcendential (or at least meaningful).
The prophecy and all the tales also make it seem like Darkness is just a persisent quality of the world, like Light is. Like it's something that was always there, another element to the universe.
But that doesn't add up at all. If Darkness has been there since time immemorial and is required for world balance (so even split of light and dark)... Why are we closing the fountains (aside from the risk of Titans emerging, but that's not a pre-requisite for them)?
How is there supposed to be this millenia-long element that the whole balance of the world hinges on and yet there is only supposed to be one source of it, confined to a random school closet and likely created just a few days before?
Remember, mundane becomes meaningful, so for a Darkner a person creating a fountain 30 minutes ago feels like a Deity arriving at the world and inseminating it with life millenia ago, with pre-established rules, relationships, grudges (even though they are aware this is not the case).
Come to think of it, this whole quality of "making mundane grand and meaningful" feels like... writing itself. Considering Gerson being there (who is really just Tolkien who also lampshades themes of eucatastophe) and the whole theme of Chapter 4, I feel like the intention of the dark worlds is not being about escapism (even though ch 1-3 depicted it as such), but rather about the quality of writing and creating stories given form, which sounds similar but not necessarily so.
It doesn't turn fantasy into reality, it gives reality a cosmic meaning instead.
