Originally posted by AncientPowerHow? Nihilus' variation of drain is not a traditional version, and is stated as having no defenses against it. Plagueis lacks both the Force Wound status and the teachings of Malachor V, that would be necessary for surviving Nihilus' drain unless he chose to spare Plagueis.
Drain is debatable, in a thousand ways.Telekinesis however is solidly within Nihilus' court.
