why would the ability to use the dark or the light as a weapon die immediatly?

the traveler is barely alive and the guardians are able to use the light, and the darkness isnt even really in the solar system (as far as we know) There is nothing to indicate these powers are dependent on proximity or permission by the traveler and the darkness.

and considering the traveler is essentially a corpse... then there is indication that the light is not dependent on the travelers consistant existence.

Although I do like the idea ofthe traveler just... leaving, thus giving motivation for sequels to branch out into other solar systems.
