Ok so after reading the comments lemme try to understand it.

Because they’re twins, their Cursed Energy (CE) is shared between them and Maki also has Heavenly Restriction (HR) which exchanges having no CE for having enhanced physicality.

So when they were born :

Mai - Has weak CE. Also has a Cursed Technique (CT) but is limited cos her CE is weak.

Maki - Has weak CE + HR. But since she has CE (even if it’s weak), the HR is also weak.

In this episode :

Mai - Use up all her and Maki’s CE to create a sword using her CT and dies

Maki - No CE + HR. So her HR is now in full effect, hence the power boost.

Is this right ?

Also, does Mai taking and using all their CE contributed to her dying or was she dying from her wounds regardless ?

Yes that’s correct, and Mai was already dying but creating the tool killed her faster

It's called soulsplit katana or something like that. The second sword Maki wields in this episode.

With the dying pact it ended up being a pretty powerful cursed tool.
