There's still one more movie to go though. I have a feeling Abrams will delve a bit more into her past, either in flashbacks, or perhaps she gets a visit from Yoda who helps her fill in some of the gaps. She obviously became a skilled fighter with her staff while growing up as a scavenger on Jakku, and it makes sense that she could easily transfer those skills to a light saber. Did she get special training for that stuff as a kid, or did she naturally pick it up on her own? I don't think it really matters that much.
And I wouldn't say she's the ultimate power in the universe yet. She's a young, tough, naive person who is just learning how to control her force abilities. Luke tells her she needs a teacher and he gets freaked out when she's immediately drawn to the dark side without hesitating. As a Jedi, I'd argue that she's still a novice, and that we'll see her get more training and mentorship in the final movie from Force ghost Luke (or Yoda).
