He killed Odan-Urr with a wave of his hand and knocked Aleema across the room when she tried to attack him.
May I ask what the point would be? Are you trying to say that because he didn't try to use an attack then that means he can't do it anymore?
Well, by that logic, Luke can't use green lightning ever because he only used it once.

IKC, it COULD have been the same attack, as one of you said he might not have been angry enough for it to be as powerful as it was the first time. From what we know though he used his attack only once.
I said that, but then I told you why it's probably wrong: The attack he used on Aleema didn't so much as sizzle her, or even singe her dress. This is in contrast to the amulet beams which disintigrated the Wyrm's flesh and the temple stone.
There's also the minor point that the attacks appear different (and yes, I know they were penciled by two different artists).

All he knew about Ulic and Aleema was that they posed a threat to him, and that he had to eliminate them at all costs. He wouldn't have known whther he would need to or not.

Or more realistically the first time he used it, it nearly killed him and as a result he was afraid of it and never used it again. This all makes sense if he used his attack before killing Odan Urr, I forget the timeline.

Except he was never stated to be terrified of the blast, stated himself that he could direct it (while he was using it), and has since the occurance gained immensely in knowledge and power.
So yeah, I think he can do it just fine.

It nearly killed him? He himself said that his hand was burned, and immediately afterward we see no damage to that very hand whatsoever!
Because he has gained and learned so much between the time he uses the blast and the time he reaches his peak in life (at the end of TSW), it's reasonable to state that he can use the beams with impunity.
And stop saying he was afraid of it. That's not stated anywhere.
If he was so afraid of it, why did he find/build another ****ing amulet?
I meant that he knew he couldn't control it because it nearly killed him. Yes he did gain knowledge but you don't know how much knowledge he gained, so you can't say 'immense' , and none of that really points to him being able to use the blast again. It would be a nice theory though.
Asshat huh, what a way to improve your argument killer, maybe you should stop getting butthurt everytime your character is questioned.. And how do you know that he reached his peak? I enjoy reading your assumptions.
And I don't know why he built another amulet, what the hell does that have to do with Sadow's amulet? Or are you just throwing out wild guesses here?

Yes, I can say "immense." Want to know why?
Because he hasn't learned anything about actual Sith techniques by the time he used the amulet beams. He didn't even know how to speak Ancient Sith until he called the amulet to himself.
And then, at the end of the Sith War, he's launching Sith spells and referencing others he doesn't use, tooling the top Jedi Masters, etc.
Yeah. The knowledge and power he gained between those two occurances was immense.
And note that I said his peak in life. IMHO, he didn't really realize his full potential inasmuch as he had to release his spirit so early in his life.

Atl east you admit it's your opinion. I don't know if you can really portray his knowledge as immense but he did learn something obviously. And where does it say he built another amulet(this is an actual question), we just know he had one
It's a safe assumption that he built the new amulet (the one he has on his right hand during TSW), and I'll explain:
The first amulet was worn by the Massassi Priest Zythmnr before Kun arrived at Yavin 4 and was treated as a holy relic. It was placed in the temple where Kun was to be sacrificed to Sadow's Sith Wyrm and Kun got ahold of it by calling it to his arm. It latched onto his left hand (because it's a left handed amulet) and he defeated the beast, blew apart the temple walls (and a bunch of massassi), and earned the obedience of the Massassi race.
Because no counterpart amulet was to be seen during this time, and because said counterpart appears on Kun's hand during TSW, it's safe to assume that Kun built the second one either based on schematics or on the original itself.
I believe this because such an amulet would have been treated as a holy relic by the Massassi just as the first one was, if it existed. Because it wasn't, I don't believe it existed yet.
I don't see how you have a problem with Kun constructing an amulet - Nadd was said to have done the same.
Oh, and tdtd, I only stated one sentence to be my opinion. Even then, it's a supported opinion given how young he was and how little time he had.
