Doesn't that apply to all force users? Regardless, if she holds no power off of Dathomir, then I don't even see the point of discussing her without it.
Well, the Force runs through even the air as far as I know, being a virtually limitless energy field.. the only exception I know of is machinery and the like. Talzin seems to draw power from plantlife strong with Force energy, which Dathomir has in abundance.
Makes her hard to gauge anywhere else. When she was in a "sterile" environment, a ship, she was unable to maintain the illusion of a few dozen nightsisters (that I recall) and couldn't heal herself of a blaster wound, much less kill the group of mercenaries she was fighting, whereas Sidious killed them easily and even threatened to kill Talzin on the spot.. whereas on Dathomir she can give Sidious a fair run for his money.

Based on the fact that Dooku isn't even in the same magnitude of power as Darth Sidious, an amp anything short of oneness wouldn't have such an effect as to climb in magnitude to that degree.
Thus Dathomir!Talzin = Sidious > Talzin > Dooku.

Again, this pretty much goes for everyone.

Hm. If that's the case, why would the Nightsisters ever want to leave Dathomir? 😖
Not all Nightsisters are necessarily as accustomed to Dathomir as Talzin, or Talzin's just more reliant on such things because of her powers/practices. Perhaps the Nightsisters wanted to find ways to use their powers outside of Dathomir?
You have people like Ventress etc. who are capable of/trained in manipulating the Force like conventional Jedi, too. Talzin's obsession with the green Spirit Ichor and what else is probably related to Dathomir, as opposed to the likes of Ventress who can't do that stuff but aren't reliant on it either, so they can actually use the Force outside of Dathomir.
