The Force
(Return to the Jedi Way) (Return to Literature Archives)

The Force What is it? How does it work? These pages will hopefully help you to answer these questions and others without hopefully raising more questions. Now before going any farther please understand this site reflects my views and understanding of the Force. Also understand that my way is not the only way to understand the Force....As it defies explanation...(That is after all it's nature) What is it? The Force is an energy field that surronds all living things.....For some this could mean their God..For others this could be electromagnetic Energy...For still others this could be gravity....it could be anything.....It is in fact everything and nothing.....All depending on the person. As if you wish to deny it's existance then no matter what is said or written here. For you it will never exist. For me though The Force is as real and powerful as all the before mentioned things.....It is all of these things...(With the exception of a God. As for myself alone I don't believe in such a being...Though many Jedi do. ) For me the Force is the sum total of all the energy of every person and thing in existance....It's every thought every action every emotion every movement ever made or that will be made or that is being made.....It's everything....To seek to fully explain I could take a hundred lifetimes and still fall short of doing so. How Does it Work? This question is easier to answer then the one above...But still open to a million methods....Some of which are Prayer, Meditation, Focus, Insight, Worship, Fasting... All of these can be used to access the Force... It is done by calming your mind and emotions. Clearing them of all distractions and opening yourself up to the energy that we have for so long ignored... This section of the Jedi way...Is here to offer some insights into the Force and some of the names that have been given certain uses for it. (Please note that these names for the most part are taken from the various source material concerning the Jedi and the Force.) I use the names for these skills simply becuase they are the most common names I know for them. Also under certian skills you will see a section called "Basic Skills" These skills are related skills...That if learned before attempting the skill in question...Will make using it and learning it far easier to do. As they give the basic foundations for said skill. Control Related Skills Control Skills represent the ability to control one's own inner Force. A Jedi with these skills learns ( or is learning ) mastery over the functions of his/her body and harmony with nature. Absorb/Dissipate Energy This is the Skill of Absorbing Energy directed at the Jedi....including but not limited to light,heat,radiation and electricity. Then either slowly allowing to to dissipate back into the surronding enrgy of the Force...Or using it to power other skills or to replenish you...Be fore warned though.....The applications of this skill are limited person by person....There is no way to gauge how much energy each person can handle...As such it is advised that with out proper training or at the least a partner to help you if needed....That practice of this skill be avoided. As such I have decided not to include any methods of how to practice this skill Accelerate Healing Simply put this is the act of healing ones injuries at an accelerated pace... There are many methods and styles that teach this skill... Reiki, Chi Gung (Qi-Gong) just to name two.. This is done by focusing ones internal energies on the wound or injury and using that energy to heal the problem....(Please understand this isn't an instant healing process...It simply is meant to speed up the process by focusing your bodies energy towards that task.) Anger This is simply the act of concentrating on all of your negative feelings, and using that energy to momentarily touch the Force Use of this skill by a Jedi will quickly lead one to the Dark Side Calculate Basic Skills:Concentration, Meditative Trance This is mainly a training skill. It is the act of using Meditation techniques to center your mind on high-order(Extremely Difficult) Mathmetical Equations with the aid of the Force to help you solve them. Calm To put it simply this skill is just the usage of a technique similar to the Calming Breath. To focus yourself and to calm yourself. Cognitive Trance This is the skill of focusing yourself on studying a subject For example speed reading and such skills Concentration Put simply this is just the ability to clear your mind of all negative thoughts, and to focus on the flow of the Force through the universe and your own being. Seems simple enough doesn't it? But relise that this skill is meant to be used under any and all kinds of situations. Taken this way...It soon becomes apperant this is indeed one of the most important skills a Jedi can ever hope to learn. The simplest and most effective method for practicing this skill is to Meditate in all kinds of situations...Learn to be able to focus your mind by doing it. Contort/Escape Basic Skills: Concentration,Control Pain,Enhance Attribute This is simply the ability to dislocate joints, softening Bones,and the like. So that one may escape from physical restraining devices...This is often a painful and difficult (But physically possible) method. Jedi are trained to block out this pain.... This is also a skill that should never be practiced without some supervision..... Control Disease Basic Skills:Enhance Attribute This is the ability to focus and direct the anti-bodies and healing resources of ones bodies to throw off an infection or to resist disease within the body Control Pain This is simply enough the skill of ignoring pain....When hurt a Jedi blocks out the pain from any injuries he/she may be suffering...So that they can continue to do what they need to do....(This is not a healing technique...It's simply a blocking technique) Any good fighter or Martial Artist will know this skill. Detoxify Poison This is the act of slowly cleansing your system....This is not an instant cure all...As such this skill is not a safeguard against taking posions...(Doing so is foolish) What this skill does is allow the Jedi to either flush his system of the effects of chemicals (Alchol,Drugs) for a very limited time. (Depends on the person as to how limited) To focus on a task at hand. (The effects are still there however...As such once the person reaches their limit the effects return fully.) The other method of using this skill is to speed up the removal of the Chemical by focusing your internal Energies to pushing it from your blood stream in the method it would naturally follow. Emptiness Basic Skills: Hibernation Trance This is the act of empting your mind and allowing the Force to flow through you. This is a very deep meditation..This is in effect similar to a self imposed Coma...As such it is suggested that this skill is not attempted without being taught it.....You might wonder why anyone would wish to do this to themselves...Doing so opens you fully to the Force as all outside influences are unfelt. This also grants an enhanced conection to the Force for an equal amount of time that when spends in this state.....The danger comes from some students not having the skill to wake themselves from this state. Enhance Attribute This is the act of using the Force to enhance a certian attribute....For a limited time....A Jedi can use this to jump higher,see farther, run faster. Most can only affect one attribute at a time as the act of doing so requires intense focus. Practice of this skill is done be the same methods used in Accelerate Healing Except you focus the energy on the area you wish to enhance and then infuse it into the muscles. Force Charged Strike Basic Skills:Emptiness or Rage, Absorb/Dissipate Energy Through total concentration a Jedi can focus the Force into their fist or foot and deliver a single,devastating blow to an opponent. It is unwise to study this skill as it's usage leans more towards the Dark Side then the Light...Though as with many skills...How and why they are used....Matter greatly. Force of Will This skill is simply the usage of your own Willpower to counteract others using the Force to affect your mind. (Also useful for countering such things as Hypnosis) Practice in this comes simply from usage. Hibernation Trance This is another form of deep meditation.....During this a Jedi slows all body functions. The heartbeat slows, the breathing drops to barely percievable levels, and you become unconcious. When entering this state a Jedi sets the stimulis that will awake him/her. Be it after a set time....Or at a touch from someone or if danger approaches.... This serves two purposes. It allows a Jedi to "play Dead." It can also be used to survive when food or air supplies are low. Meditative Trance This should be among the first skills ever taught a Student. It is basically the skill of being able to Meditate fully... Rage Basic Skills:Hibernation Trance This is for all intents the same as the Emptiness skill. The only differance is...That usage of this power is not done while calm...But instead it is done while angered or hate filled. By Fucosing on the emotion and amplifing it. Blocking out all outside influences and cutting oneself off from all things except the feelings of amnger,hatred and such...You can gain the same benfits as from Emptiness This is as is obvious a Dark Side realted skill...Thus I advise against seeking to learn this. Reduce Injury Basic Skills:Control Pain This is a purely specualtive skill. As I don't know for sure it works...But my theory is that by channeling enough of the Force into an Injury. You can heal it almost instantly.....(Though there are repruccisions no doubt for doing this. As it would require immense amounts of energy to be directed at the wound. Remain Conscious Basic Skills:Control Pain As it sounds this is just an act of intense willpower. The use of this skill is that when a Jedi has suffered a blow or enough injuries that would knock a person unconscious. The Jedi uses the Force to remain conscious. Remove Fatigue Basic Skills:Accelerate Healing, Control Pain The Jedi uses this skill to combat the effects of strenuous work. Basically put the Jedi Maniulates the Force, Causing bodily toxins (Adreneline and endorphines) to be ejected much more efficently, thus allowing for greater stamina. Short-Term Memory Enhancement Basic Skills: Hibernation Trance This is the act of replaying recent events in order to more carefully examine images and peripheral occurances. This is a skill that takes time and practice to develop. A simple way to develop this skill is to look around the room you are sitting in. Then once you have a firm idea of it. Shut your eyes and try to reconstruct the room in your mind from memory...Then compare the two images by holding the image you have made and opening your eys...Note any mistakes you made....As you get better at this....Lessen the time you look around.... Voice Amplification Simply the skill of Amplifing the voice to fill an area...This isn't Yelling...It speaking at a normal level...But letting the Force to carry your voice outward to every corner of a room. Sense Related Skills Sense related skills represent the ability to sense the Force in other things besides one's own body. Jedi's learn to feel the bonds that connect all living things. To see how all these things are interconnected. Beast Languages Basic Skills:Receptive Telepathy, Projective Telepathy , Translation This is the skill of understanding Animal Languages. As Animals rarely have "true" languages. The Skill is actually imparting and reading emotional differances within grunts and growls and other cues of body language. To practice this skill sit and observe any animal....Study it's habits and the way it interacts with other animals and people. While doing this seek to due this through the Force as well as your other senses....Seek to feel the animals emotions. Blind Sense This is the ability to still do things when blinded.. To practice this skill simply blindfold yourself and try to continue doing whatever it is you would normally do. Combat Sense Basic Skills:Danger Sense, Life Detection This Sense is as the name notes Combat related....What it basically is....Is the effect of The Force focusing your senses on the combat at hand. Everything else becomes muted and dulled as the senses are all turned toward the combat occuring around him.her All enemies become highlighted in the Mind's eye. This Focus enhance sthe ability to attack and defend. Danger Sense Basic Skills:Life Detection This is the ability to sense the motives of others who may do you harm through the Force. As the Force flows through all things. It flows through even those who would harm you...By being open to that flow and knowing how to understand it. A Jedi can feel an attack coming before it happens...Thus increasing their chance to avoid it. Direction Sense This is the ability to sense the direction of an object or location by it's resonance in the Force. It can be an object of importance, the North Pole the nearest taxi,etc...But this doesn't work to find Iving beings just objects...At first this skill just gives general directions to the object or location as in:left,right,forward,or backward from where you are....But with practice it can grant more information...Such as the exact location and distance from the object...your current postion is Life Detection This is as the name denotes...The ability to detect life around you. A good practice to learn this skill. Is to sit in the middle of an open field. With your eyes firmly closed. Reach out with the Force and seek to sense when Life approaches you...During this have a friend approach you. When they want to (Not at a set time) From any direction they want to....When you feel them...Point at the direction you feel them from. If you are correct they should say so...Then begin again...If you are wrong...They should continue approaching untill you are correct or untill they can touch you. At which time you either switch places or begin again. Life Sense Basic Skills:Life Detection This is similar to the above skill but it is more focused...Instead of being used to detect any life near by...It is used to focus in on a particular person or creature as well as sense if they are injuried or hurt and their emotions. Magnify Senses This is the ability to enhance ones normal sensesto percieve things that otherwise would not be possiable without artifical aids. The Jedi can hear noisies beyond his normal hearing due to distance or softness (This applies to normal frequences only. This doesn't let you here frequencies you wouldn't normally be able to hear) Likewise for vison and smell as well as touch..... A good example of this skill as well as an excellent training method...Are the Blind...They develop their other senses to degree's that most people can't imagine... Postcognition Basic Skills:,Life Detection,Sense Force This skill allows a person to investigate the tenuos imprints of the Force left on objects when they are handled by living beings. The Jedi must be able to handle the object they are investigating. Depending on the skill of the user...This can give anything from a vague sense of who handled the object at a certian time and what events transpired around it.....Upto witnessing the events as if they Jedi was actually there. Receptive Telepathy Basic Skills: Life Sense This is the ability to read the surface thoughts of another being. This doesn't mean you can probe for deeper things or hidden memories....This is just the things currently that the person is thinking about at that moment. Sense Force This is the ability to Sense the Force in Objects and places. A Good example of this is when you walk into a church or Temple or holy place of any Relgion...With all the energy that has been focused in those places for so long..They become natural focus centers for the Energy of the Force. Sense Force Disturbance This is the ability to sense a disturbance in the Force. This doesn't give specific details, but a vague feeling of what happened. Once learned this ability becomes a natural one...It is always there and the Jedi has little to no control over when it happens...Any disturbance if close enough or powerful enough will effect the Jedi. Sense Force Potential Basic Skills:Life Detection, Life Sense , Receptive Telepathy , Sense Force The deep subconscious of a Force-Senstive person is shielded by a protective barrier which prevents another from penetrating his/her inner mind. This shield pushes back at an intruder, sending them stumbiling backwards at times. This "shield" is an involuntary defense maintained by every Force-Sensitive person. The magnitude of the backlash depends on the person's strength and knowledge in the Force. Sense Path Basic Skills:Emptiness, Hibernation Trance This Skill will allow a Jedi to sense where his /Her actions may lead to. Bear in mind this is an overall sense of the path being followed. This isn't a minute by minute, Play by play...But with proper usage the Jedi can sense if his course is leading them towards the Dark Side or not...Then act accordingly to prevent such a thing. Or to hasten it depending on the person. And their goals. Shift Sense Basic Skills:Magnify Senses This is the ability to shift the senses into a different type then normal. For example the ability to see the infraread spectrum (Aura perception is considered by some an example of this) Translation Basic Skills:Receptive Telepathy, Projective Telepathy This is the skill to understand a language not normally known by the Jedi. As well as to Read it and Speak it perhaps. (By many Relgions. This is called the Gift of Toungues) Truth Sense This allows a Person to sense whether a person believes what they are saying is the truth. It doesn't give the ability to sense whether what they are saying is true in the overall reality; just whether the person "Believes" it or not. Weather Sense Basic Skills:Magnify Senses Use of this Skill is done by attuning oneself to local weather patterns. By sensing the movement of clouds,winds,tides,and solar bodies, The Jedi can discern patterns in the weather, and make some limited predictions. It may take weeks or even longer for a Jedi to attune themselves though. So don't expect quick results. ( Every considered why all those people say things like "A storm is coming my right knee is hurting." Or "It's gonna rain soon. My Elbow is aching." These are examples of this sort of skill) Alter Related Skills These Skills concern the Jedi's Ability to change the distribution and nature of the Force. Empower Weapon Basic Skills:Absorb/Dissipate Energy This is the act of extending your own personal energy into and around a mellee weapon. For example when used on a sword, the blade becomes infused with energy allowing it to cut through things easier and withstand a greater impact. When used on a staff or club...This skill infuses it with energy that upon contact is released into the target to increase the impact damage given to the object. Injure/Kill Basic Skills:Life Sense For those that know of it. This is basically the same concept as Dim Mak. For those that don't I am sorry. I have no intention of explaining farther then that. Project Force This is the ability to project ambient personal Force away from your body.If used by a Jedi, anyone within the projection will feel warmth and a sense of well-being. If used by a Dark Sider, anyone within the projection will feel cold and a sense of dread. Telekinesis This is the ability to move and levitate objects or oneself through the Force.....There are sevreal good skills to practice this... A few exercises that can help to develop the foundation for this skill would be the Unbendable Arm and the Projected Fighting excercises. Control/Sense Related Skills These skills are simply skills that combine the knowledge learned from the two areas mentioned. Anticipation Basic Skills:Farseeing,Receptive Telepathy,Combat Sense This enables a Person to anticipate an opponent's immediate actions and react accordingly. Dashio Combat Basic Skills:Weapon Combat This is simply Weapon Combat with two weapons....For example Two swords or a sword and dagger combo..Or even two sticks. Death Sense Basic Skills:Life Detection,Danger Sense,Farseeing This is the ability to sense the impending Death of a loved one or a well known and trusted friend,teacher,student,etc... Farseeing Basic Skills:Life Sense This is skill allows a Jedi to see the past and the Present as well as events that occured in a particular area or that are occuring currently in an area different from where the Jedi happens to be currently... This skill can also be used to see a foggy glimpse of the Future...I say foggy becuase While the past and the present are firmly set. Thus just requiring the correct perceptions to see them. The future is always fluid and in motion. Therefore it is much harder to see. (Astral Projection is similar to this skill. With the main difference being that instead of projecting yourself to the area. You allow the Force to reveal the information to you. Life Bond Basic Skills:Life Detection, Life Sense , Magnify Senses , Receptive Telepathy This Skill allows the Jedi to form a permanent mental link with another person. Usually a spouse or loved one. As this is a very deep connection. (Imagine the way twins seem to know always what the other is feeling. This is an example of a Life Bond) Mediation Basic Skills:Truth Sense,Receptive Telepathy This skill is best used to mediate between two parties for the purposes of coming to an agreement. The Jedi attempts to read the intentions of the persons being mediated, and then tries to make a judgement call that will be fair for all concerened. Mental Translocation Basic Skills:Emptiness or Rage,Farseeing,Hibernation Trance, Life Detection,Life Sense,Magnify Senses,Remain Conscious,Shift Sense For all intents and purposes this is basically the skill commonly called Astral Projection by most people. Projective Telepathy Basic Skills:Receptive Telepathy This is the ability of a Jedi to project his/her thoughts at a targeted person...This is done by sensing the Force that flows between you and the target. Then focusing on those connections and sending your thoughts along them. (This isn't a form of mind control. You can't implant images. The Target must be receptive to your sendings for this to work.) Share Senses Basic Skills:Projective Telepathy This is the ability to share all of your senses with a person or creature. they can see through your eyes, hear what the you hear, and smell,taste, and feel what you are experiencing. Unarmed Combat This is Weapon Combat minus the weapons...A Person using this skill extends their senses and control of the force around them to enhance their effectiveness in hand-to-hand combat. Weapon Combat This is the ability of a Jedi to wield his chosen weapon (Be it a sword or stick or anything else for that matter). By stretching out and letting the Force guide his/her actions and clearing the mind and letting their training take over. Control/Alter Related Skills These skills are simply skills that combine the knowledge learned from the two areas mentioned. Accelerate Another's Healing Basic Skills:Control Another's Pain Simply put this is the act of healing Anothers injuries at an accelerated pace....There are many methods and styles that teach this skill....Reiki,Chi Gung (Qi-Gong) just to name two.. This is done by focusing ones internal energies on the wound or injury and using that energy to heal the problem....(Please understand this isn't an instant healing process...It simply is meant to speed up the process by focusing your bodies energy towards that task.) Aura of Uneasiness This skill is performed by projecting a field of vague discomfort and unease around yourself which causes animals to feel uneasy around you.

Control Another's Pain Basic Skills:Control Pain This skill is a mixture of Accupressure and mind numbing arts...Put simply the Jedi helps another person to block out the pain caused by injuries that person has recieved. (This doesn't heal the injuries it just lets them be ignored for a length of time) Control Breathing Basic Skills: Concentration,Hibernation Trance,Telekinesis This skill is as the name implies simply the art of controling one breathing. By reaching out with the Force and using it to control the amount of oxygen flowing into the lungs. This allows the Jedi to remain underwater for longer lengths of time then might normally be expected. Control Weather Basic Skills:Weather Sense With this skill a person can affect the weather over a long period of time.....For example to speed a storm through by increasing the front pushing the storm forward.. Detoxify Poison in Another Basic Skills: Accelerate Healing,Accelerate Another's Healing,Control Pain, Control Another's Pain , Detoxify Poison This is the act of slowly cleansing Another's system....This is not an instant cure all...As such this skill is not a safeguard against taking posions...(Doing so is foolish) What this skill does is allow the Jedi to either flush The other's system of the effects of chemicals (Alchol,Drugs) for a very limited time. (Depends on the person using the skill as to how limited) To focus on a task at hand. (The effects are still there however...As such once the person using the skill reaches their limit the effects return fully.) The other method of using this skill is to speed up the removal of the Chemical by focusing your internal Energies to pushing it from your blood stream in the method it would naturally follow. This requires the Jedi to remain in constant contact with the person they are helping. Feed on Darkside Basic Skills:Sense Force This is the ability to feed on the fear,hatred, or other negative emotion of others to make onself stronger and more powerful. By Inticing these feelings in other's The Jedi can weaken them...Thus strengthening your postion by using those fears to your advantage. Practice of this Skill by Jedi is unwise as it quickly will lead one to the Darkside. Force Lightning This skill when used produces bolts of white or blueish energy that fly from the user like lightning. The bolts tear through the target, causing painful wounds. A VERY low level example of this can be practiced by simply shuffling your socked feet across a shaggy carpet. Then touching someone.....Now imagine that energy amplified by the Force and you may begin to understand exactly how this skill works. Practice of this Skill by Jedi is unwise as it quickly will lead one to the Darkside. Inflict Pain Basic Skills:Control Pain, Life Sense This is for all intents the same skill as Injure/Kill Except no longer is touch required. Instead you focus on the area you wish to inflict damage upon and then infuse it into the muscles. By causing them to contort painfully with the Force. Practice of this Skill by Jedi is unwise as it quickly will lead one to the Darkside. Place Another in Hibernation Trance Basic Skills:Hibernation Trance This Skill allows the User of it to put another person into a Hibernation Trance. It does require Physical Contact with the person. And that person has to be willing to be "Shut Down". As such this can't be used to attack another person.... An Example of this skill at work. Is found by study of Hypnosis. Where a Hypnotherapist place a person into just such a state. Remove Another's Fatigue Basic Skills:Accelerate Healing, Accelerate Another's Healing , Control Pain , Control Another's Pain , Remove Fatigue This is very like the Remove Fatigue Skill except that unlike that skill... Usage of this skill requires the target person to allready be fatigued....Where as the Remove Fatigue Skill doesn't. Return Another to Conscious Basic Skills:Remain Conscious By directing the Force to flow through another person. You can in effect cause someone who was knocked unconscious to wake up. Transfer Force Basic Skills:Control Another's Pain This is a very intense skill to use and should only be done so with caution...As in effect it is meant to be used. When another person is near death...You impart a part of your own Personal Force into them to bolster and support them. Untill such time as Medical Aid can be rendered to them. This cannot raise the dead. But it can help those who are dying to either hang on if help is near by. Or to go peacefully without pain. Waves of Darkness Basic Skills:Aura of Uneasiness The user of this skill delbves into the darkness of their own spirit and dredges up the feelings of hatred,jealousy,greed and rage that linger in in shadowed recesses of their own spirit. Then using the Force as a power source, they expel these emotions in waves of Dark Side energy that radiate outward in an expanding sphere. To cause a feeling of intense discomfort in other people around them...Causing most to avoid or even to leave the presence of the user. The use of this Skill by Jedi will lead one quickly to the Darkside. Sense/Alter Related Skills These skills are simply skills that combine the knowledge learned from the two areas mentioned. Affect Emotions This skill is used to manipulate the emotional state of another person. If used wrongly this could lead quickly to the Dark Side. Dim Other's Senses This is the ability to use the Force to overshadow and cloud another senses. Force Shield Basic Skills: Absorb/Dissipate Energy, Concentration, Magnify Senses, Telekinesis This Skill allows a Jedi to surround themselves within a Force-Generated Shield. The Shield can be used to repel energy and physical matter away from the body, down to a molecular level... This is done by focusing on the force and drawing it in to envelope your body. The strength of the shield depends greatly on the ability of the person. So while at first this may be a nearly useless thing...With practice it becomes very useful indeed. Control/Sense/Alter Related Skills These skills are simply skills that combine the knowledge learned from the three areas mentioned. Affect Mind This Skill is used to alter another person's perception so that they sense an illusion or fail to see what the user of the Skill doesn't want them to see. It can be used to Permanently alter another's memories so that they remember things incorrectly or fail to remember them at all. It can also be used to alter the persons conclusions causing them to come to the wrong ones. Battle Meditation This Skill has to possible effects. The first one. Is that by amplifying the fear and distrust inherent in others. You can cause adversaries to abandon their assult and turn on each other...The other usage of this skill is to amplify the trust and emotions and strength of your allies. Control Mind This skill is similar to Affect mind...But instead of simply altering anothers perceptions or memories. Instead the User seeks to impliment their will completly over the target. To seek to turn them into a mindless puppet who can do nothing but obey the users will.He seeks to control their every action. By denouncing any free thinking actions and appluding any obediant actions...Over a long enough period of time...This power can strip another being of any free will they may have had. Practice of this Skill by Jedi is unwise as it quickly will lead one to the Darkside. Doppleganger Basic Skills: Control Pain, Emptiness, Life Detection, Life Sense, Magnify Senses, Receptive Telepathy, Sense Force, Telekinesis, Projective Telepathy, Control Another's Pain, Transfer Force, Affect Mind, Dim Other's Senses In effect this power creates a doppleganger of the Force User. The Doppleganger is an illusion, but to those who interact with it it seems real. The user can sense all normal senses through the doppleganger, and it seems to have form and substance. (This can also be used to create other constructs as well besides duplicates of the person.) Drain Life Essence Basic Skills: Control Pain, Hibernation Trance, Life Detection, Life Sense, Magnify Senses, Receptive Telepathy, Sense ForceTelekinesis, Farseeing, Projective Telepathy, Control Another's Pain, Transfer Force, Affect Mind, Control Mind, Dim Other's Senses This Skill allows a Jedi to draw life energy from those around him/her. All living things are part of and contribute to the Force; even those with no awareness of the Force are affected by and are part of it. Many beings go through their daily lives wasting much of their life energy. This skill draws that energy from others, allowing a Jedi to use that energy to further his or her own ends. Practice of this Skill by Jedi is unwise as it quickly will lead one to the Darkside. Eclipse Basic Skills: Hibernation Trance, Affect Mind, Projective Telepathy This skill enshrouds a Jedi in a viel of unintrest...In effect the skill allows a Jedi to avoid drawing attention from casual observers...Who aren't actively searching for the Jedi.... Enhanced Coordination This skill allows a Jedi to link a group of Allies together subconsciously, allowing them to fight more proficiently and with better organization. But it in no way grants the Jedi Mental Control over them. Force Harmony Basic Skills: Life Detection, Life Sense, Projective Telepathy, Receptive Telepathy This Skill allows several Jedi to combine their skills to manifest the power of the Force. With a greater degree of control then anyone person could obtain alone... Projected Fighting Basic Skills: Concentration, Telekinesis This skill allows a Jedi to strike an opponent at a distance, inflicting damage without physically touching the target. Practice Excercise:Projected Fighting Telekinetic Kill Basic Skills: Control Pain, Inflict Pain, Injure/Kill, Life Sense This Skill builds upon Injure/Kill (Which requires Touch) And upon Inflict Pain (Which while not requiring touch. Is limited to inflicting pain only. Not Death) To finally allow a User to Kill at a distance. By crushing the throat or the heart in a Force induced Death. Practice of this Skill by Jedi is unwise as it quickly will lead one to the Darkside.
