I still disagree that the aim of the missionaries was to donate magic points to Dorastor.

Tanisor and Dorastor lie on opposite sides of Dorastor. In between is the Dari Alliance which is not part of the Empire of Light. Therefore for the Dorastans to try and set up a 'colony' in Tanisor is bound to run into problems with the Dari Alliance.

The Vampire Kings were created by the fear of Arkat IMO. The Empire of Light was similarly blameless yet D:LoD comments:
'The successes of Arkat in his approach to the heartland of
peaceful Dorastor caused increasing alarm among the poplace
and leaders. The people panicked, grasping desperately for
any remedy, leaving themselves open to the Temptations of the
dark side. Thus, ironically, Arkat himself transformed a
hitherto blameless people into the corrupt empire he had sworn
to destroy'
