I speculated on this in a former post. Savage Oppress was force-sensitive, but much less so than Maul; that being the reason Maul was given to Sidious and not him. His natural force powers were augmented by Nightsister magicks. Talzin is not Force sensitive instead using learnt magicks to accomplish feats on par or perhaps even higher than Force sensitives. The ritual she was attempting with the Bardottans was her attempt to connect with the Force, and then become truly unstoppable.
