Is this power potentially an ability Darth Revan learned through experience on Malachor V and was lost forever after his mind was shattered?
There are two primary reasons to believe Darth Revan was proficient in this form of drain, potentiality even better then Darth Traya herself at it.
1.) Darth Revan established and taught the Sith Assassins everything: "So Revan trained elite Sith units into assassination squads, whose duty was to go out and capture enemy Jedi. I was in one of the special units trained to do this. Revan had plans for all Jedi. I think it was important that the Jedi see her side of things, the Sith teachings. Revan wanted to break them. And then have them join him." ―Atton Rand (Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords)
2.) Darth Traya studied the teachings of Revan found on Malachor V: "Led by a woman named Kreia, the rogue Jedi turned to the dark side teachings uncovered by Malak and Revan. Kreia took the name Darth Traya, and her followers called themselves the Sith after the long-lost species that had invaded the Republic a millennium before." ―Star Wars The Old Republic: Revan
Therefore, logic holds that since Darth Revan...
1.) experienced regularly what Darth Traya experienced on Malachor V...
2.) knew of all the knowledge Darth Traya studied when she became Sith...
3.) and personally taught "the sect of assassins" that "feed on the Force."
It can easily be assumed Darth Revan too knows of this draining ability.

I'm not saying he would use it. I'm saying he can use it. Huge difference.
Revan knew that using the technique would corrupt the Sith Assassins and make them hunger, hence why he taught them.
The fact he was able to teach them, and experienced all the qualities necessary to be open to Malachor means he could embrace it.
Obviously, I doubt Darth Revan would ever use the technique, even in a life-or-death situation. But still, it's an interesting concept.

I think he could but just like the Ancient Sith wouldn't use it since it leads to an empty road to the Dark-side. Also, do you guys think "Giga-Drain" could be a fusion of Force Sever and Drain?

Still no. He's not mentioned as knowing it, so it's impossible to say he did. The technique isn't something that you can just know academically or learn from a holocron. Revan obviously knew how to "teach" others the technique, but he didn't use it himself.
Oh! Selenial if you have the Book may you please post the quote that says Darth Nyriss has a more sinister aura than any Sith Surik felt before or something similar to that?

“No,” Revan said, shaking his head. “Do not underestimate all you have accomplished. Nobody else could have found me across an entire galaxy. Nobody else could have saved me from my imprisonment.” He studied her for a moment. “I was told you had been cut off from the Force, but I can sense its power in you. I always knew you had great potential, but you have become far greater than I could ever have imagined.” - Star Wars the Old Republic: Revan
Huh, someone mentioned Darth Nyriss having a really evil shadow or presence that was beyond any dark-sider Surik felt before on here. Guess it was Fanon if that's all Nyriss has.

The technique can only be learned through instinct, through experiencing it first hand, through being driven to the point where you just perform the technique. Revan knew how to create conditions that facilitated this, but he did not learn it himself.
