Based on how the epsiode "Nimue" was handled, it gave me the impression that there could be two Dark Ones in existence. No, I'm not talking about the voices in a Dark One's head. Merlin said that if he used dark magic just once, he'd turn dark. It proved true for Nimue, but she was already having dark thoughts bottled into her after Vortigan's massacre.

It seems that bounding an immortal to an item gives them a real limitation. Merlin is now bounded to the other half of Excalibur. Could that mean that Merlin could be killed with the half and the killer receives his powers? That'd be killing two birds in one stone, so that could also create another Dark One.

Also what if Merlin tried bounding Nimue to another item besides a piece of Exaclibur? Would it work or would something special to the person had been needed?
