Exar Kun's Power

The amulet simply enhances the blast and makes it uber.

Wow congratulations. You've just destroyed every antediluvian argument in favor of Exar Kun.

... How?

The fact that it's a power that can be learned from anybody and wasn't just subjected to amulets.

Which doesn't change much at all. The only people who knew it before are the only people who know it now.

I'm guessing anyone who knows sith magic is familiar with the technique.

Consider how few people actually practiced Sith magic with any degree of proficiency; the Ketos, Kun, Nadd, Zannah, presumably a host of ancient Sith, and some random Bothan shown on the Wikia. Aleema Keto used the power to no effect against Exar Kun before he reaches his peak. I had already assumed that the ancients were familiar with the ability, considering it'd been passed down through the amulets. Zannah is given a scroll detailing the use of a select few spells, IIRC, and Bane himself is entirely unfamiliar with the brand of Force use.

Kun's amulet still amplifies the power of the blasts exponentially, which is an advantage other potential practitioners of the technique don't have. At the end of the day, I'm not seeing the changes.

The change being the fact that the "amulet blast" is just part of sith magic. In fact, I think Ulic did some sort of blast with his sith talisman to get Nomi and the Jedi away from him. So the "amulet blasts" don't see exclusive to Exar Kun.

This doesn't "destroy" any arguments unless it means the attack is any less lethal than it was before. It isn't. And the "amulet blasts" are as exclusive as they've always been, because you need the amulet to create blasts of that magnitude.

Fair enough. It sheds new light on the evidence though.

In the highly canonical RotS Video game...

did that particular segment contradict anything we saw in the movies or the other established canon?

Yeah. Drallig is confirmed to die rather quickly, with a slash through the shoulder, in both DN and apparently a SW Insider article. Not to mention the entire opening sequence.

It does, not to mention that Drallig is a Jedi... and this Force Blast power is Sith Magic.

Now, maybe I'm way off base, but I don't think Cin Drallig knew or practiced Sith Magic.
