Black Lightning? Really? I'd be neat sure, but it wouldn't sit well in lore. We know what the Abyss does and what happens when you abuse it/let it control you. You get corrupted, you will look like someone coughed The Black Plague on you, you lose all major brain functions and become like this rabid being like what happened to Arotrias. In Demon's Souls, it worked because Allant was controlled by a God and not some infinite empty elderich abomination. When the Archdemons were destroyed, Allant lost his purpose to the Old One and became this weird deformed thing at the expense of abusing power and losing your 'humanity'. If being in the Abyss gave you Darkside powers with no ill consequence, the lore and hidden message in Dark/Demon's Souls wouldn't make sense.
