Even though the focus seems to be element zero, manipulation of dark energy is the ability that is natural to the asari.

During melding, an asari consciously attunes her nervous system to her partner's, sending and receiving electrical impulses directly through the skin

Element Zero (Atomic Number 0, Chemical Symbol Ez), also known as 'eezo', is a substance that, when subjected to an electrical current, releases dark energy which can be manipulated into a mass effect field

It can be assumed, then, that the Asari would need the eezo in their bodies, regardless of whether or not their abilities are based on pure electrical charge manipulation, or more magical dark energy manipulation.
