In the POWER OF THE JEDI sourcebook Yarael Poof is given an illusion modifier of +18.
![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Illusi11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/illusi11.jpg)
To help emphasize how great this is beyond it being a big number, allow me to show the illusion will check chart.
![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Illusi12](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/illusi12.jpg)
For those who dont understand the mechanics of this game system
Poof will roll a D20 dice (20 sided dice numbered 1-20) and then will add his illusion + 18 to his roll resulting in minimum 19 to 38 max what he rolls determines what save the opponent needs to meet or beat, if they fail the fall under his illusion
His adversary (for this example i will use exar kun) will roll the same dice (D20) and add their will to it (in this case exar has +10)
![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Exar_w10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/exar_w10.jpg)
If what exar rolls is the same number or above the saving DC then he succeeds in warding off the illusion.
Now, returning to why Poofs illusion is impressive, having crunched the numbers, exar will have a 65% chance of failing and falling under poofs illusion (credit to durin for the graph and statistics)
![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Captur16](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/captur16.jpg)
-GREEN being exar succeeds, YELLOW is tie (which is also a succeed) and RED is fail
Note this is not to say poof can trap exar in an illusion IU, just that his game stat reflects and emphasizes a rather potent ability, that's disproportionate to his other abilities, allowing him to ensnare someone (again in game stats) in or above his weight class.
INFANT OF SHAA
This section is dedicated to no doubt poofs biggest claim to fame. The artifact known as the infant of Shaa is a relic that is said to be capable of storing force energy that can be released with enough power to destroy an entire planet. This notion is repeated often enough, by the natives who guard it, the terrorist who sought to use it and pretty much everyone else.

You get the picture, this tiny rock is a vessel of force power and when released is capable of destroying a planet.
While he was retrieving the idol poof was stabbed in the chest, possibly in his second brain as talked about in FORCE HEAL section. This is worth keeping in mind going forward.

![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Lower_10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/lower_10.jpg)
There are different sources of what Poof does with the idol, some claim he absorbs its energies.
![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Absorb10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/absorb10.jpg)

Others claim he defused/deactivated it.
![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Planet11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/planet11.jpg)
-Star wars complete visual dictionary
While I feel the most prominent depiction including the main comic is he contains and binds the energies of the idol together again so it doesn't explode.

A very impressive display, especially considering he was again, stabbed in the chest, possibly in the brain and was using his “last remnants of his force power”
![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Last_r10](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/last_r10.jpg)
![Yarael Poof giga respect thread Last_r11](https://i.servimg.com/u/f90/20/30/86/34/last_r11.jpg)
-Fact File 106
To conclude this section, Yarael with a fraction of his force power, a dagger in his brain, instead of healing said injuries used what little power he had left to bind and manipulate, possibly also drain on top, the unstable energies of the idol that would have destroyed all of Coruscant. Manipulating the energies I feel is a lot harder to do than straight absorbing since with drain its transfer of energy from X to Y whereas binding requires complete control over X energy, able to move it, and compress it
Regardless how you wish to interpret it, a dying poof at a fraction of his power is handling planet destroying energies
