I agree, seems like she benefits from eating souls. Surely Darkness could manage without eating souls like there were no souls before God created them, but seems like she can benefit from eating souls.

Maybe Darkness is able to use souls power like Celestials beings are, since short time after she ate Jenna Nickerson's soul, she grow up. Supernatural series is known for that coincidence have meaning.

And Lambda1, that adult woman could been just vision. And Darkness ain't omnipotence, since God with help of Archangels was able bind Darkness away.
