Even in that scenario Nox is still more potent fully prepped than Wyyrlok. Thanaton's lightning was more potent and Nox shrugged it off, fully prepped his/her spells are very destructive if not more so than Wyyrlok's illusions and lightning. Nox would defeat Wyyrlok in a force match, and the only advantage he has in terms of sabers is marginal at best.
While I've conceded that Krayt is more powerful and skilled than Malgus overall, he isn't going to one shot him. Nox and Malgus are too much for Krayt on his own
Wyyrlok is only a slightly better duelist, perhaps above Thanaton by a bit due to his duel with Krayt. Nox has raw power that surpasses him by quite a bit, imo the gulf between Wyyrlok's dueling ability is far less wide than Nox's power in the force. Wyylok as more of a sorcerer doesn't focus on saber combat as much, and it showed in his dismissal by Krayt. By the time Wyyrlok can gain an edge in sabers, Nox can hold him off and take him out with Ghost walk
Raw power means nothing when you don't know how to use it, and Nox doesn't really know how to use it. I don't know where you got that their prepped sorcery is so amazing from, and while the Force ghosts did indeed make Nox powerful, it only allowed them to become comparable to the other Sith who were trained from birth in Dark Side mastery as well as incredible endurance, which Krayt has. Nox's best bet is Lightning and Force Bubbles, and even then, I have my doubts.
I'm not sure I'd say Wyyrlok is a better swordsman. Nox beat Khem was an acolyte and could beat Sith Lords without the Force. She's a great swordsman. One source even suggests her lightsaber prowess is equal to her skill with the Force, which is considerable. And yes, she is a highly skilled Force user. Its nearly impossible to deflect Force Lightning with the Force, but Nox was skilled enough to casually slap it aside. Her skill is incredible considering how little training she has. Also, Nox handily defeated one of the best swordsman of her time so meh again on that front.
I'd say Memory Walk is a bigger threat myself. But Nox has some great telepathy feats and possesses a helmet that protects her from mental attacks so I doubt Wyyrlok would have luck there.

Thanaton's FL has charred metal and scorched flesh. At best Wyyrlok's charred Krayt, and was used for torture on others. Nox's force shield can easily absorb it.

He/she knows enough to utilize it to defeat council level opponents (with feats) like Thanaton. Wyyrlok is a strong opponent but he was out of his depth with Krayt, and Nox has superior feats to Andeddu and superior force power to Nihl as well. Wyyrlok's feats with illusions while superior to Noxs's, aren't as viable as his/her defense against lightning and his/her ace in the hole those ghosts. Nox can also defend against his lightning.

Nox based on showings is superior to most other council members, and in terms of comparison outshines most aside from Baras, Malgus, and the ones with actual showings. Yes Krayt has superior showings to Nox and would kill Nox in a fight, but he/she can defend against most of Wyyrlok's offense.

She can, actually. She blocked Thanaton's lightsaber with TK.
