By the time I finished writing this I realised that I didn't really have anything
useful to add. But gosh darn it having spent this long on it I'm going to post
anyway.

***** WARNING! *****

力尽く(oK); 力付く 【ちからづく; ちからずく】 (n,v5k) (1) by force; forcibly; with all one's might; (2) to recover one's strength; to recover one's spirit; to revive; to be refreshed; to be invigorated; to be encouraged

The definitions at goo (大辞林) seem to be neatly divided between
力尽く - sense 1
力付く - sense 2

Until I came across 力尽く looking for づ(く) / づ(き) readings for 尽く
for KanjiLab* I didn't even realise that  力尽く was an option.

There are only three examples at WWWJDIC and they all appear to be
sense 1. (Note that although there are two separate [EX] links the
second has only the 力 kanji so it is impossible to know which of 尽
or 付 applies).

力尽く 12,100 Google hits
力付く 12,800
力づく 73,200
力ずく 81,600

Out of the first 10 hits for 力付く one was Sense 2, two were false
positives and the other 7 were Sense 1 so it seems that 大辞林's
distinction is not, or barely, maintained in practice.

* Now up to 1480 active kanji, 84% "mastered" (but I'm not kidding
myself about the "mastered" bit I intend to reduce the number of
guesses allowed from the default as soon as I get the rest of the
kanji active).

-----------------------------------------
How great you've mastered 84% of them !

As far as my language sense covers, "chikarazuku" or "chikaraduku (rare)",
there seems to be three completely different meanings as follows:

1)   力尽く　　〈ちからつく、ちからづく）＝　力が尽きる
　　　　　　　　
　　　　　（援護隊が来なかったので力尽いた。）

２）　力付く　　（ちからづく） 　　　　　　＝　力が加わる

　　　　　（援護隊が来たので力付いた。）

３）　力ずく　　（ちからずく）　　　　　　＝　腕ずく

　　　　　（力ずくで奪っていった。）
