Normal light sources do not work in an area of magical darkness, for one. The Darkness spell also is a bit misleading, in that it doesn't actually create darkness—it just reduces the illumination level by one step (whatever that one step may be). The Darkness spell also does not necessarily emanate from the caster's body (which is my understanding of how Obscure works), but rather from an object he touches.
