Technically, the energy ball is merely an arcane blast in the form of focused magic.As for Kain and his teleport, Dar'Khan has proven decent reactiontime (Him blocking the dagger being one) and is not much different from Kain in terms of reaction time. Even would Kain teleport and end up behind him with intent to strike, Dar'Khan still has a chance to react given how Kain has to both reappear and swing his blade before his attack will have taken any effect.
Given Dar'Khan being a prominent tracker of magic, he'd sense Kain the moment he appear behind him and react accordingly. As seen in his telekinesis feat, Kain can be sent flying with a thought.
We should not be forgetting the fact that Dar'Khan not only tanked actual blunderbuss rounds capable of damageing a dragon (I can get a scan of that as well), but regenerate from it immediately. A cut isn't deadly, and given how Dar'Khan showed that the blunderbuss didn't even penetrate his body, it would take a good amount of strength to properly cut him in half. Strength I have yet to see Kain manifest.
Well obvioulsy its useless then since damaging furntiture and wolves is not going to bother Kain.
Ive not seen all teh story about the dagger, youve shown me him stopping a dagger in the air but I dont know the distance that it was thrown, whether or not Dar'khan had some other advantage over the thrower such as knowing he was coming etc and yes Kain has to reapear but the moment he does Dar'khan is pretty much destroyed, theres no chance of him turning and using a spell effectively since kain strikes pretty much instantly as he appears. Maybe but with a thought? looking at his TK the guy gestures a lot with his hands and it may take a moment of concetration as well for all we know and dont forget Kain could do the same with his own Tk, as well as chain Khan in the air with telekinetic chains and to stop it all Kain would have to do is turn to mist.
Khan was definaltey damaged and perhaps dragons are not as resistant as you would first have me belive if a blunder bus, a fairly old and not necesserily deadly weapon can damage it, it would depend on the round and whether it was the same one that hit the dragon tht hit khan, can you show me the round exactley?
My bio shows that kind of strength and Kain does not need sterngth, his blade is sharp and has penetrated thick solid rock with ease and thats when its the blood reaver, a far far weaker weapon than the soul reaver. The blast looked more of a small explosion, not a direct damage attack like Kains sword, Khan would loose his body and his soul.

I have to agree with Rapidash. This fight could go either way. Dar'Khan doesn't have as many damage feats as Kain, but Dar'Khan is better at staying alive and his telekinesis is more potent.
Better at staying alive? TK more potent? Kain using repel shield and teleportation can keep himself from any and all things Khan could probably do to him and furthermore a quick mist could survive the rest and Khan has similiar TK, in the scan of Tk rapidash shows him tossing some men around, men far lighter by the looks of them than Kains targets.
