I find this suspect.



Exar Kun at the height of his power and mastery states that while he technically can utilize many esoteric incantations and rituals, he doesn't actually understand any of it on a deeper level. It's the equivalent of a student verbatim memorizing the surface-level contents of a book for an exam without actually assimilating that knowledge or processing its real meaning. Not much different from Darth Bane.



Furthermore, Kun needs his amulets to use Sith magic at all. Again, even Bane could wield rudimentary sorcery like illusions and Force blasts without a trinkets, and if you gave him Kun's toys, he'd probably be even more successful.

So in the end it comes down to what qualifies for a position on this list: having memorized a laundry list of spells and being able to use them, even if only with the aid of special paraphernalia, or actually comprehending the stuff on a profound level. In the case of the former, Bane and probably a whole lot of others would qualify better than Kun, and if it's the latter, then Kun obviously doesn't have any business on this list.

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote:The most powerful Sith Lords possess a talent for the dark alchemy of the Sith. The Emperor, like Naga Sadow and Exar Kun long before him, became a master of manipulating the genetic building blocks of living creatures through the dark side. Over the millennia, many creatures have been broken, twisted, and rebuilt by this evil power.

However, great amulets are priceless and often unique. Users must first overcome the amulet's seductive song. For if they can't, they will be forever lost to dark side insanity. I have acquired many of these prizes for myself, but I remain restless knowing that many more lie locked in the tombs of Korriban.
