Look at Jedi Academy, all that is are free-for-all's with bots since I don't have internet and I can't play online games and my wife left my last week and this is where I come for solitude T_T
Her lightning was powerful enough to instantly turn guards into "charred husks". Her command of the Force and lightsaber skills were so impressive she was able to completely dominate two Force-users of high-calibre [the Exile and Scourge], both of which have good accolades to their names and in the Exile's case, very, very nice feats. The fact that Nyriss was able to dominate these two without even pushing herself speaks volumes of her power.
It mostly means that since being a dark council member she gets to rest more. She was powerful sure, but she would probably have lost subsequent fights to that calibre of opponent.

Council members seemed to be big geeks, sitting around debating their power and how to maintain order. Meanwhile the likes of Surik and Scourge are actually out there wasting their force reserves in fights.
Dangerous but I figure if Surik or Scourge whiled their days sitting and gorging on power they'd probably be worse, so I guess it balances out.

I'd argue that being out on the battlefield and getting actual combat experience is far more valuable than playing politics.
Furthermore, you can't really waste your "force reserves" the force isn't merely within a person rather the force is all around them. It's not like mana. Although, I'm sure some dumbass author like Drew Karpyshyn has written otherwise.

Didn't say they don't get replenished, son. Combat strengthens the dark side, not every Jedi benefits from constant war, if anything it increases the chances of "losing touch" with the higher principles.
Resting - one can also grow in power - there's no rule that says a Jedi needs combat to be better - if anything their creed says otherwise.
If I'm fresh and know what the hell am doing, I'd prefer to sit and while my days in comfort - this wouldn't make me weaker. I can even have more time to train, to learn, to grow.
