=Closer look at force abilities= (By Sam)(ael) (Return to Teachings)

There are three basic uses of the force. These are called force powers, force abilities, and force talents.

__**Force Powers**__: Force powers are pretty simple and the most common. A force power is something you do through the force that draws on your energy to effect the world around you in some way. It can be a large thing or a small thing and it is especially often a physical thing though such powers as force mind-trick are also considered a force power. Force powers always tire you out depending on how difficult they are and how complicated the power is. Some force powers are rare to be able to do. Obviously not every person can perform all force powers no matter how smart or powerful they are.

__**Force Abilities**__: Force abilities are more complicated than force powers. They are special in that many can be done only by a person whi is sensative to the force but do not require a person to use the force and do not drain them. Some good examples of this are Jedi reflexes. It only takes sensitivity to sense just slightly into the future and they are honed only by training and focused awareness. Another good example is the ability to perceive the future. It takes great focus and sensativity as well as wisdom to do well. But it drains no energy.

__**Force Talents**__: A force talent could be a force power, or a force ability but in this case it is a force power or ability that is either super rare, or uniques to the individual. One good example would be the ability to regenerate lost limbs. For all I know this talent does not exist but should I meet a Jedi who can do something like this It will be a force talent whether it is a power or an ability.
