The god character didn't make light, at least in the sense of construction. It magicked light into being. The incantation "Let there be..." in the context of the story is an expression of wish magic, no different to the kind of wish magic popularised from Arabian mythology. Could it be that you are dressing it up as something less mythological because you recognise the inherent silliness in accepting fairytales as true records of events?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
