Honestly I think the biggest indication that Callum was always going to do dark magic again is that Villads tells him, "Your conscience is a messy place boyo," even after he's rejected the dark magic version of the cube and subsequently being a dark mage. Your conscience is specifically linked to being the little voice inside your head that helps guide your choices, and we see this specifically being centred around Callum's choice to break the primal stone.
Was he right to give up power, the ability to be useful and helpful, in such a way? It hatched Zym. It gave the world another chance for peace. But it left him helpless. The lack of power is what drove him to do dark magic ("I did one spell. One. I had to") because the only alternative was letting his friends potentially, or almost surely, die.
He's rejected dark magic. He's already said no. But he can't quite let go. He's here on the precipice already, of wondering if without dark magic — if without some kind of power — if he'll be helpless in the future again. If he'll drown.
And then he learns to breathe, and is given the Sky arcanum, and he thinks he has his answer. He thinks it's a no.
Until he's a bind that Sky magic couldn't solve it for him, and he's forced to reckon with what his subconscious was telling him all along: his conscience is a messy place, because he knows — not "to make a real difference in the world," not for "unlimited power," not for his own self gain or importance — with dark magic, for his loved ones, it'll always be a yes. ("Well some things have changed, but not everything: I would do anything for you.") It always has been.
