Spirit Kun vs Physical Kun

Some argue that Kun being in spirit form weakened his power. However from a logical standpoint that doesn't make sense. Normally people are weaker in their spirit forms because they were defeated in combat or they died through other means. In Kun's case however he performed a ritual that was specifically designed to remove his spirit from his body. It is unlikely Kun would use a ritual that he knew would weaken him greatly. Their is also the fact that he drained the entire massassi race on yavin IV for the ritual which would have logically raised his power.

So yeah that's it. Just something short to get discussion going.

However it also has the ability to simply contain the darkside. This is seen with Thon's wall of light on Ambria. Any darkside spirits trapped by a wall of light still possess their power within the boundaries of the WoL

The Dark Side Sourcebook wrote:Exar Kun-who didn't technically die so much as merge with the dark side and retain his identity-resisted the dissolution of his spirit by drawing on the remarkable focusing energies of the Massassi temples on Yavin 4.

That or the massassi ritual increased Kun's power beyond what the jedi used in their WoL. Which as shown by the wording in the scans you provided seems to be a likely option.

So you'd be of the opinion that the blast never touched his physical body either, correct?

Well idk what happened to his body. It could've disappeared after the ritual. But I'm assuming that after Kun separated from his body, if it still remained it would be an empty husk and that the WoL would've done nothing to it.
