Irrelevant. You said she couldn't block his Force attacks while Kas'im could. However Zannah has feats of blocking his lightning whereas Kas'im does not. So you have it backwards in that respect.

You mean like the part where Zannah lunges at a wounded, weakened, and defenseless Bane ends up getting punted?
By a desperate, advanced and unconventional technique that caught her off-guard. Bane himself was also thrown backwards by that attack, so it's incorrect to think that he'd overpowered her or something. Zannah on the other hand actually did punt Bane into a wall with TK while breaking his force defenses, despite him having amped himself previous to her attack.
I don't recall Bane being injured though.

Because he actually shown major improvement that's so unbelievable comparable to his nexus feat on Lehon. Which is only amazing when used to support Bane in an argument that doesn't involve Zannah.
I have no clue what you mean here. Sarcasm? Cuz you seem to be agreeing with me. I'm just going to assume you're conceding. Thanks.

"The "nexus" on Ambria was sealed, Zannah wasn't drawing on it until the last attack."
Try actually reading what I say before responding next time. And while you're at it, try reading the book as well:
"Again she opened herself up to the dark side. This time, however, she didn't attack Bane directly. Instead, she let it flow through her, drawing it from the soil and stone of Ambria itself. She called to power buried for centuries, summoning it up to the surface in wispy tendrils of dark smoke snaking up from the sand."
The power was buried for centuries, meaning that it wasn't open to her or Bane before that point. The text also explicitly differentiates this attack from her previous ones with the fact that now she's drawing upon outside power. Meaning that beforehand she was not.

No offense, but since I never said that, it really doesn't matter. He doesn't need to be more powerful than Zannah to block her attacks, get in close and end her. But I don't think Zannah's the best thing since sliced bread, so I'm probably an outlier.
You said Kas'im could block Bane's force attacks and Zannah couldn't, so clearly you do think he's more powerful than her or at least comparatively so. Which is a complete folly. Kas'im was significantly less powerful than PoD Bane. Zannah is as powerful or more powerful than DoE Bane. Bane's superior power was the deciding factor between he and Kas'im in their duel, so a larger gap between he and Zannah would be as or more significant. Kas'im is also not as strong enough duelist to beat Zannah's defense. He wasn't even good enough to beat Bane's defense. And Bane is primarily an offensive swordsman.
You haven't responded to my original point that Kas'im falls to her mental attack. I'll repeat: Kas'im couldn't resist Kaan's mental influence. He will fall to Zannah's which is far more powerful. Even if I gave you the nexus which I don't remotely, its inconsequential if one compares the power of the two attacks. Kas'im will fall. Again.
