Forward, by Darths Drakul Xarxes and Sedicious

I was first enlightened to the way of the Sith by this text and its companion, On the Force as a God. I seek, as Dagon did, to grant access to this holocron to the masters of the order, to train and educate properly those who will follow even when we are long gone.

Despite the breadth of Dagon’s notes, there were some things he had no way of knowing, or else had not known yet the extent of their capabilities. A later successor from circa 70 ABY, Darth Atamus, and later myself and Lord Sedicious, have made additions where necessary, giving descriptions of notable uses, or the powerful individuals who have wielded certain powers as their signatures.

We hope this text will provide ample education to all who partake, and will lead the Final Sith Order’s flourishing and growth, even into the far future when the current bearers of the legacy have faded into obscurity.

~Darth Drakul Xarxes

Introduction to the First Edition, by Archpriest Dagon

The only truth is power. Contained within these pages are the secrets I have amassed over the past century of our way, preserved by my senectitude. There is much left to be done, but I leave that to the future generations of our kin.

The way of the Sith is under threat of destruction. Already on Korriban and Ziost, infighting has reached its zenith, and our Jen’ari has been slain by his treacherous Apprentice. I do not trust those seeking to take his place, and so I write, secluded on Dathomir, for the sake of a better tomorrow for the most noble of orders.

Within this holocron, you will find the secrets that have made us great, powers beyond mortal reckoning, and techniques of the blade and mind that would shake even the mightiest of Jedi. It is my wish that you submit yourself to them, and train the next generation to do likewise, whoever you are.

I write not for glory, but because the teachings of our time must be preserved and fostered. If my name should be lost to the ages beside Tulak Hord and his idiot Apprentice, so be it. The secrets held by the Sith are to serve the galaxy for the better. I should hope that wherever this text finds itself a thousand years from now, it will be in the hands of one desiring to do what I did not have the power to do.

~Archpriest Dagon

RANKS AND LEVELS (Added in the 3rd Edition)

As a Sith progresses through their training and rises through the ranks of the Final Sith Order, they will periodically increase in power. Out-of-universe, this is represented by gaining more points to spend on Force powers every time you earn a new level.

The FSO system has 10 levels, with each level corresponding to a specified rank. Your rank must correlate directly with your level—only in special cases, such as a former Dark Councilor returning to the rank of Lord, does a person's level not match their rank.

RANKS AND LEVELS
Level 1 – Sith Acolyte / Sith Apprentice (15 points)
Level 2 – Sith Apprentice (20 points)
Level 3 – Sith Apprentice (25 points)
Level 4 – Sith Knight (35 points)
Level 5 – Sith Knight (50 points)
Level 6 – Sith Master (75 points, 1 Godlike)
Level 7 – Sith Lord (100 points, 2 Godlikes)
Level 8 – Dark Lord / Triumvir (150 points, 3 Godlikes)
Level 9 – Special Appointment (225 points, 4 Godlikes)
Level 10 – Imperator / Imperatrix of the Sith (350 points, 5 Godlikes)

–When you first join the Final Sith Order and have passed through the Guides, you are assigned Level 1; when you are apprenticed to a Master, your level does not increase.
–Levels 2 and 3 are assigned at your Master's discretion throughout your training. It is recommended to Masters that they level up their apprentices roughly one-third and two-thirds of the way through their training (either by monthly time or by 22 and 44 accumulated prestige).
–Upon graduation from training, you are promoted to Knight and are awarded Level 4. This is also the time when you receive the title of “Darth,” and accept a new name as a mark of your progression within the Order.
–Knights remain Level 4 until they take on their first apprentice, at which point they are awarded Level 5.
–After graduating their first apprentice, Knights are promoted to Master, are granted Level 6. This is often the highest rank and level a member of the Final Sith Order can hope to achieve.
–The rank of Lord is awarded only to deserving FSO members with outstanding achievements or long-standing histories with the Order. If you are to receive this special honor, you are granted Level 7.
–Earning a seat on the Dark Council can elevate you to either Level 7 or Level 8; Level 7 if you are of Knight rank or below at the time of your elevation, or Level 8 if you are of Master rank or higher. For a Level 7 Councilor to level up to Level 8, they must complete the training of an apprentice, the same as if they were still a Knight.
–Level 9 is awarded by special appointment only, reserved for members with phenomenal contributions to the Order, for members who previously achieved an equivalent level in previous iterations of this group and its various RPGs, or for members who achieved this level by ascending to the now-defunct role of Tetrarch. Special Appointment is normally given by the Empress or Emperor’s discretion, though there have been cases where the Dark Council moves to appoint a member to Level 9 and the hierarch gives their seal of approval.
–Level 10 is reserved only for the reigning Sith'Ari of the Sith Empire, for previous rulers, and for those who attained an equal level during the course of the formal RPG in the past.

The Final Sith Order's combat system relies primarily on the "honor system"—meaning that our combat is based on comparing each player's points in applicable skills, and taking actions or damage based on context, point differences, Game Master recommendation, etc. We expect our players to be flexible, realistic, and good sports.
The points listed alongside the levels above are spent on Force powers and lightsaber combat forms; the higher number of points sunk into a power, the stronger the player is in that skill.

SKILL POINT LIMITATIONS

Skills may not be increased to 2 until a character is at Level 3. Skills may not be increased to 3 until a character is Level 5. Skills may not be increased to 4 until a character is Level 7. Skills may not be increased to 5 until a character is Level 9.

All Godlike powers are level-locked, and all cost 10 points.

Skill Point Degrees of Proficiency
0 – Ability not known. The player cannot use this Skill and does not need to list this Skill in the Skills section of their Character Sheet.
1 – Novice. The player can use the Skill at a low degree of proficiency, approximately equivalent to that of a Sith Acolyte or Jedi Padawan just beginning their training.
2 – Intermediate. The player can use the Skill with some degree of proficiency, approximately equivalent to that of a Sith Apprentice or Dark Jedi with moderate training, such as Kylo Ren from the new canon or Luke Skywalker as he appears in The Empire Strikes Back.
3 – Advanced. The player can use the Skill with advanced proficiency, approximately equivalent to the proficiency of Darth Vader and Darth Tyranus within the films and the Legends Expanded Universe in most of their preferred feats.
4 – Master. The player can use the Skill with masterful proficiency, approximately equivalent to the proficiency of Emperor Palpatine and Grandmaster Luke Skywalker within the Legends Expanded Universe in most feats.
5 – Grand Master. The player can use the Skill with ultimate proficiency, approximately representing a gestalt of the most powerful and extreme examples of the feat in Legends Expanded Universe lore.

LEVEL BONUSES

As Sith advance in their accumulation of power and increased individuality and distinction from their peers, some abilities become second nature to them, while others become a more obscure, rarer, and focused power. As such, when leveling up, a Sith may attain from the list below certain powers when they reach the requisite levels.
All free points, whether purely from leveling up or granted by a class choice, terminate at rank 3. Any increase beyond that point requires investment from the point total for a character’s level.

Level 1: At Level 1, as soon as an Acolyte completes the Guides and begins making their character sheet, they may choose from Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Force Sense to add to their character sheet for free, as these are three of the most basic abilities of a Force user. They may increase the rank of this power for free as they level up, once they hit the milestone levels for rank increases, up to rank 3 at level 5.

Level 4: Upon becoming a Sith Knight, a Sith may choose between Sith Lightning, Force Wound (assuming they have Telekinesis), and Sutta Chwituskak (assuming they are a Sorcerer) to add to their character sheet for free, up to rank 3 at level 5, as these powers are more aggressive and further help to distinguish the characterization and focus of a Force user from their peers.

Level 6: When promoted to Sith Master, all Sith Warriors gain Force Rage, all Sith Assassins gain Shadowstrike, and all Sith Sorcerers gain a basic sorcery (between Sutta Chwituskak, Qâzoi Kyantuska, Dwomutsiqsa, Waves of Darkness, Aura of Uneasiness, and Sith Illusions) to add to their character sheets for free, up to rank 3. This allows for Sith Masters to devote points to other abilities that will help distinguish them from others without detracting from abilities core to the essence of their class.

Level 7: Sith Lords are naturally assumed to possess the knowledge of storing knowledge, that is, to create a Sith Holocron for themselves with which to deposit their esoteric knowledge or life experiences to help teach future generations, or else to hoard for themselves. This process is a RITUAL, regardless of the class of the Sith Lord. They receive 3 points in this power, and may invest further points into it if they so desire, as there is a clear distinction in the quality of holocrons from various Sith Lords of the past.

POWER TAGS

As you read through the list below, you may notice some of the listed powers have certain tags in bold next to them. These showcase something special that anyone desiring to take the power should be aware of.
–RITUAL: Powers with this tag cannot simply be performed at will. Instead, they require preparation, sometimes taking hours or days, and will require intense roleplay to be used. Often, these will require the use of special materials as well that may be special enough that the user will not have easy access to them and will therefore need to quest for them. The use of these powers generally has to be GMed or approved by the Council to ensure they are used properly.
–INNATE: Powers with this tag are extraordinarily rare in the established EU continuity. As such, this should be reflected in how many people can take these powers. These tend to be powers that most Force users cannot learn but are already present in the user and must be developed by study and regular use (such as Psychometry, Flashburn, and Shatterpoint). Acquisition of these powers should take place early on, generally before Knighthood, and will require Council approval.
–UNIQUE: Powers with this tag require someone wishing to take it to either be taught the power by someone who already has it OR it must be quested for (which would be GMed). Starting with a UNIQUE power will require Council approval.
–FREE: Powers with this tag do not require point investment to attain, only prerequisites, such as point investment in another power, which the FREE power is either rolled into or which the FREE power changes if chosen (such as in the case of the Reanimate Undead sub-abilities). A FREE power is always the strength of the power it requires. For example, if someone chooses to take the FREE power Dreambubble and they have 3 points in Hibernation Trance, they effectively have 3 points in Dreambubble.
–LIGHT: Powers with this tag are considered anathema to the majority of individuals within the Sith Order, as they are belonging to the Jedi and those who walk the path of the Light. To obtain access to a Light power, a Sith must be either a Paladin or Archon with a certain alignment. Evil individuals cannot harness the Light, and so in order to do so, a person must be of a neutral or good disposition. Even a user of Many Shades of the Force may have difficulty in using some of these Light powers.


Classes: Base Classes are available to all. Subclasses are available at Level 3. Prestige Classes are strictly optional classes, specializing in obscure niches with unique prerequisites, available at varying levels.

Sith Warrior

Warriors are the martial element of the Sith, training rigorously for combat with a particular focus paid to the exquisite art of the lightsaber. Darth Vader and Darth Malgus are among history’s most famous Sith Warriors. Sith Warriors are masters of physicality and receive free points in Augmentation up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.

Sith Assassin

Assassins seek to learn the art of stealth and espionage, and they train in many non-Force related skills to be more versatile. Darth Talon and Darth Maul are among history’s most famous Sith Assassins. The most elusive of Sith, they receive free points in Force Stealth up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.

Sith Sorcerer

Sorcerers concern themselves primarily with the academic study of the Force and understanding its properties, as well as studying and chronicling the history of the Sith. Darth Sidious and Darth Naga Sadow are among history’s most famous Sith Sorcerers. Focused entirely on the esoteric, including occult rituals known only to their caste, Sorcerers receive free points in Sith Runes up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.

Subclasses (Available at Level 3+):

Sorcerer Subclasses:

Sith Illusionist

Taking after the ancient Sith sorcerers of the Golden Age and the Krath magicians of Empress Teta, Sith Illusionists impose their imagination upon the universe, conjuring mind-pulverizing illusions that verge on astral creations of raw reality.

Warrior Subclasses:

Sith Marauder

Taking after the Sith Marauders of the Sith Triumvirate, Sith Marauders are violent, bloodthirsty dark side warriors who use their rage, the dark side, and an arsenal of weapons to eviscerate their enemies swiftly; many dual-wield lightsabers or use more exotic lightsaber variants such as double-bladed lightsabers and lightwhips. Marauders, who relish in the heat of battle and shrug off injury with ease, receive two points each in Feed on the Dark Side and Control Pain.

Sith Juggernaut

Taking after the Sith Juggernauts of Vitiate’s Empire and the various cyborg Jedi-Killers of Palpatine’s era, Sith Juggernauts are hulks of muscle, flesh, and even metal, able to overpower their foes through brute strength and power through incredible injury. Sith Juggernauts may choose to receive either Reduce Injury or, if they are a cyborg, Mechu-Deru, for free up to the rank available for their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.

Sith Paladin (Requires Lawful Alignment)

Taking after the Paladins of Naddist Onderon, the noble Sith Knights of the Mecrosa and the Krath Holy Crusaders, Sith Paladins are dark knights who serve the Empire with religious conviction and unbreakable loyalty; like the Knights of Zakuul, their zealotry is rewarded with unique power in the Force that makes them difficult to beat on the field of battle and can choose up to three light side powers, one of which they receive for free up to the rank available at their level, up to rank 3 at level 5.

Sith Mauler

Taking after the Sith Brutes of Vitiate’s Empire and the thuggish Sith cult known as the Maulers, Sith Maulers use their fists, feet, and body to overpower their enemies, mastering brutal hand-to-hand combat or martial arts such as Teräs Käsi. Maulers receive two free points each in Force Punch and Force Kick.

Assassin Subclasses:

Sith Stalker

Taking after the Sith Assassins of the Sith Triumvirate and the Sith Shadow Stalkers of Vitiate’s Empire, Sith Stalkers are masters of stealth and subtlety, cloaking themselves from the Force and the senses as they pursue their prey. Stalkers receive two points each in Conceal Essence and Dim Other’s Senses, allowing them to pass not only in the Force but visibly as well.

Sith Watcher

Taking after the Sith Watchers of Vitiate’s Empire and the political masterminds of Bane’s line, Sith Watchers are infiltrators and double agents who use guile, subterfuge, and manipulation to subvert enemy governments from within. Watchers receive two free points each in Affect Mind and Conceal Essence so as best to infiltrate enemy territory and influence their opponents without drawing undue attention.

Sith Brawler

Taking after the infamous Hands of Emperor Palpatine, Sith Brawlers are unscrupulous agents and dirty fighters who use anything they can get their hands on to kill their targets, from blasters to vibroshivs to lightsabers.

Sith Slayer

Taking after the Sith Slayers of Vitiate’s Empire and the various infamous Jedi hunters throughout history, Sith Slayers are highly trained executioners adept at one singular goal: finding and killing Jedi in one-on-one combat. Sith Slayers are proficient with suppressing the power of their opponents, weakening them before engaging for the kill, and as such, receive points in Force Suppression up to the rank available for their level (so long as they have at least one point in Telepathy), up to rank 3 at level 5, and can take this ability before reaching Level 5.

Sith Poisoner

Taking after the infamous poisoners of the Sith Mecrosa Order, Sith Poisoners are specialists who combine alchemy, science, and assassination to kill their foes without ever needing to lay hands on a lightsaber.

Through blending spellcasting and alchemy, Sith Necromancers tap into the powers of death and dying, invoking the spirits of ancient Sith Lords and raising the corpses of the fallen.

THE POWERS OF THE SITH​

Lightsaber Forms and Augmenting Force Techniques

—Form I, Shii-Cho: Simple and relentless. Bold and kinetic. Somewhat slow at lower levels, but more skilled users become a waterfall of fluid slashes. Masters of this martial art release themselves into the Force, channeling it deeply and possibly endangering their spirit, but becoming an unpredictable hurricane of lightsaber strikes.
At least basic skill in this martial art is necessary to learn to use a lightsaber efficiently without injury.

—Form II, Makashi (Requires Form I, Shii-Cho): Quick and precise. Elegant and efficient, emphasizing leverage through footwork and positioning. Lacking in strength, however, so one should choose their foes wisely.
Martial artists of lower levels have an excellent and very active defense against lightsabers, but lack the precision to mount an effective offense. More skilled users are dreadful to face in lightsaber duels, utilizing expert precision and speed to slip beneath an opponent's defense and swat aside an opponent's offense.
This form relies the least on one's connection to the Force, and relies more on the user's intellect and skill than physical ability, though taller users will have advantage in reach.
This form is weak to blasterfire, Form V Djem So, but not Shien, and Form VII Juyo. This form is strong against Form I, Form IV, Form VI, and the lower levels of Form III.

—Form III, Soresu (Requires Form I, Shii-Cho): Subtle and tight. Conservative and economic, prioritizing defense over offense, and thus rarely necessary for the Sith, who stay on the offensive.
Novice users are quite exceptional when defending from blaster bolts and other projectiles, but in heavy fire scenarios and against skilled opponents, they only delay the inevitable. A master of this form can be considered nearly invincible, able to walk through hornet nests of blaster fire unscathed and defeat powerful duelists through patience and masterful timing. This form has no dedicated attack sequence, and the user must rely on the deflecting parries and ripostes, or another form, to defeat an enemy.
The lower levels of this form are weak to Form II and Form VII, but beyond that, it has no weakness to another form. This form is strong against blasterfire.

—Form IV, Ataru (Requires Form I, Shii-Cho): Acrobatic and flowing. Elaborate and aggressive, reliant on the physical agility of the user in conjunction with their strength in the Force. Lacks dedicated defense, relying on agility to dodge attacks.
Beginners may disorient their opponents with spins and flips, but may have trouble closing off all openings in their motion for the enemy to attack. The most proficient users become an offensive omnidirectional dervish of blades, striking more swiftly than any other, evading too quickly for an opponent to catch and overwhelming them.
The user becomes a conduit for the Force, but one can only be a conduit for so long before burning out. Thus, this form is best used on single opponents and to end a fight quickly, or to be supplemented with another style. This form is weak to Form II and Form III. This form is strong to Form V.

—Form V, Shien/Djem So (Requires Form I, Shii-Cho): A dual discipline of two separate forms too similar to teach separately: Shien and Djem So. Most Form V users express a preference for one of these forms like one expresses a preference for a left or right hand when writing. Both forms were created by Soresu masters who felt Form III was insufficient in keeping the peace.

Shien: The Lesser Krayt
Technical and aggressive. Energetic and mildly acrobatic. Utilizes a full 360 degrees of motion. Contains some Ataru inspiration.
The Shien lightsaber form was the original variant of Form V, utilizing a counterstrike-focused fighting style that was technical, quick, and energetic, but still very aggressive. Nowadays, it’s taught more for its deflection capabilities than dueling practicality, as it possesses no other clear advantages over other forms.
Unlike the later Djem So, this form has no mobility weakness, and thus is not weak to Form IV. This form is very strong to blasterfire.

Djem So: The Greater Krayt
Stout and imposing. Strong and domineering, relying on physical strength and powerful counterstrikes following an even stronger defense to defeat an enemy. Advances upon a straight line.
The style is characterized by deflecting oncoming attacks before responding in kind with a harsher counter strike. Beginners may find their counterattacks to be slow, but will find their defense and general attacks more than adequate for most situations. An advanced user will be fast and fluid in their death dance, deflecting and striking back with incredible strength and fluidity to dominate their opponent. Masterful users become something incredible to view, taking on a Makashi-esque level of precision and finesse while maintaining a monstrous level of dominating, offensive power, betraying its Makashi influence.
One of the most physically demanding of the styles, dependent on the physical strength of the user, but by no means a slow style.
Due to its lack of mobility, this form is weak to Form IV. Due to its emphasis on quick, powerful strikes, this form is strong to Form II.

—Form VI, Niman (Requires Form I, Shii-Cho): Balanced and moderate. Intermixed and relaxed, most often combined with the practiced use of telekinesis to supplement the bladework.
Niman is truly the most balanced of the styles, not being sincerely advantageous anywhere, but lacking drawbacks that other styles hold. It could be incredibly dangerous in the hands of a patient, cunning, and calculating practitioner, something which has earned it the moniker of “Trickster’s Style” in the past. A trainee could keep up with students of other forms fairly well, but would risk being overcome by the clear advantages of another style. A master would take advantage of the lack of Niman’s own drawbacks, pressing their opponent to prevent the advantages the other possesses without letting themselves be taken advantage of, and will often harmonize with the opponent, responding to attacks with the equal and opposite.
One of the least physically demanding styles, but also the one which allows for the most individual creativity from its user, making it a very cerebral style best used when combined with other techniques, whether implementation of telekinetics or other practices like Jar'kai, which can become its own style in combination with this form.
This form is weak to Form II, but with this one exception, it has no clear advantages or disadvantages against other styles.

—Form VII, Juyo (Requires Form I, Shii-Cho AND two other saber forms): What Darth Bane once called “Strong Style,” we more commonly call “Juyo” or “Way of the Vornskr. The most physically and mentally demanding of all lightsaber forms, which makes it ideal for single-opponent dueling, Juyo combines the best traits of both Ataru and Djem So with wild unpredictability. A novice user will wear their passion in this form on their sleeve, while more experienced duelists will maintain a calm external appearance that hides their internal emotional pressures.
The quintessential style of the Sith, according to the powerful Darth Sidious, who both practiced and taught the style, Juyo is aggressive enough to even overwhelm masters of Soresu. Yet, the emphasis on offense leaves one open to counterattacks, particularly from Form III and V practitioners, and especially from multiple opponents using their Force powers in conjunction with their sabers. It is advised that one specializing in this power be well-equipped in other fields of saber combat so as to not be overrun when they inevitably must face a group.
While by no means weak to blasterfire, the techniques used to deflect lasers usually are derived from the other styles the Juyo user has studied. A fledging user would be able to combat a single opponent fairly well, but would be much more open to retaliation, and likely wouldn’t last long against multiple competent opponents, and would be far more susceptible to the power of their dark rage blinding them to the movements of their foes. A master, on the other hand, could move with such blinding speed and aggression that their opponents may never get a chance to block or counter, all while leaving their passions unpervaded by the Dark Side of the Force.

—Exotic Lightsaber Combat (Requires Form I, Shii-Cho, AND one other lightsaber form): The use of lightsaber variants such as the lightwhip, wrist-mounted saber, tonfas, and the claymore all fall under what is called “exotic” saber combat. Proficiency in this skill is what allows a impractical and more unwieldy saber variant to be used without injuring or killing the user. Given the potential obvious dangers in the aforementioned saber variants, this is a must for those seeking to use such weapons.
—Tripszest (Requires Form I, Shii-Cho, winged species OR Levitation OR flight device)
—Saber Throw (Requires Saber Style, Telekinesis)

—Alter Damage (Requires Shii-Cho)

Control:

—Alchaka
—Augmentation: A basic power in a Force-wielder’s arsenal, and one of the very first taught to initiates, Augmentation is what allows a Sith to overcome their bodily limits, whether by overriding their body’s natural inclination to hold back to avoid hurting itself, or to push past mental barriers inhibiting one’s strength. While in general practice it only allows for one to break those barriers, its further applications are what allows precise direction of the body’s capabilities. A novice might simply conjure the strength to perform a difficult physical feat, while a master would become practically superhuman.

—LIGHT Aura of Healing (Requires Level 7+, Force Healing)
—Art of Movement
—Bleed Crystal: The ability taught to many Dark Side adepts and fledgling Sith acolytes when they first construct a lightsaber. Traditionally, the red crystals of a lightsaber were made artificially in a laboratory, but there are those who prefer a more symbolic route which proves their strength. A lightsaber crystal of blue, green, yellow, or other color would be taken from the lightsaber of a slain Jedi foe, and through the Sith would pour their malice and passion into the crystal, infusing it with Dark Side energy and “bleeding” it to turn it the iconic crimson color Sith lightsabers are feared for. The more experienced one is with this power, the greater strength given to the blade. Some crystals bled by particularly passionate individuals can become cracked resulting in a very dangerous, volatile blade that crackles rather than hums. Blades such as this have been known to cause greater wounds, even when the blade only glances the target.
—Feed on the Dark Side: Sometimes called “Consume Essence,” this power is what allows a Sith to replenish his or her Force reserves, permitting them to continue the fight. Sometimes this may come as a the result of an arduous ritual or as a grueling combat. A beginner will find the strength to continue on, or to get themselves to a safe place to rest, while a master will forgo the need to rest and ignore the pain of exhaustion, though they may find themselves slipping into a greater exhaustion when the excess energy wears off.

—Palawan Hibernation Trance (Requires Level 6+, Hibernation Trance)
—FREE Dreambubble (Requires Hibernation Trance)
—Mortichro (Requires Level 6+, Hibernation Trance)
—UNIQUE Fold Space (Requires Level 5+): Of the few abilities learned from the reclusive Aing-Tii, this is perhaps the most powerful. Even the great Luke Skywalker, the most powerful Jedi in history, had difficulty in learning it. The ability allows for one to transport an object or oneself through space to another desired point instantaneously. The distance traveled and size of the object are determined by one’s skill in the ability. A learner may only transport small objects, like a lightsaber, small distances, while a more adept user may be able to transport themselves safely over several meters away. The most expert utilization of this ability allows for the movement of very large objects, such as a freighter, or groups of individuals, over the span of several kilometers. But without the power of multiple advanced users, and even technological aid unknown to all but the Aing-Tii, we have no record of planetary travel being possible even to the most accomplished user. Alternative uses of the ability include the Aura of Freedom, which essentially allows a user and their nearby allies to go untouched by telekinesis. It is worth noting that nearly any repeated or strenuous use of this power will leave all but the most powerful Force wielders exhausted.
—Teleport (Requires Level 5+): Unlike its more powerful cousin, Fold Space, the power of teleportation is exclusively focused on movement of the self from one place to another. An extremely taxing ability at lower levels, amateur teleporters may need to rest after only teleporting twice across a moderately-sized room, while the most powerful teleporters could teleport as far as the eye could see—for it requires line of sight—seemingly at-will with substantially milder signs of distress.
—Force Travel (Requires Level 5+)

Sense:

—Force Sense: Generally, this is the second power trained into a fledging Sith. It allows one to sense the presence of Life, the Force, and, at greater proficiency, the Force Potential of another being. With this power also comes an awareness of the death or blossoming of nature around oneself. A novice would begin to passively sense the flow of the Force around them, the presence of unconcealed life forms and plant life, and the presence of powerful Force sensitives. With training, they can expand their senses in a greater area and probe deeper to see those who wish to remain hidden. A master of this power would be able to sense all but the most powerful assassins sneaking up on them, and would be able to sense the Force Potential of aspiring acolytes, or Jedi opponents, with ease.
—Precognition (Requires Force Sense): One of the key powers for survival, Precognition is what allows a Sith to read the moves of their opponents or to predict the strategies of an enemy force before it happens. In its passive form, the power would incline a user to move out of the way of an incoming attack, or to sense where the next blaster bolts would land to better deflect them. In its active form, it can be used to gaze into the future. A beginner would need to be quick on their feet, as the glimpses into the future would be brief and sporadic, while a master is capable of dancing and toying with their opponent as they anticipate every move the other makes prematurely. Likewise, a master has more precise perception when gazing into the future, and can utilize their greater discernment to predict the course of events.
—Force Sight (Requires Force Sense)
—Force Track (Requires Force Sense)
—Farsight (Requires Force Sense)
—Mind-Walking (Requires Level 5+, Farsight, Sith Prophet)
—Quicksight (Requires Level 5+, Farsight)
—INNATE Psychometry (Requires Force Sense) A rare power among Force users, its rarity suggests that it is tied to the physiology of the user, and is thus biological. It is not a power to be learned, but to be unlocked. At its lowest levels, one may sense “echoes” in the Force, allowing one to discern mundane and rudimentary information about what has happened to an object or a corpse over the last week or so. At medium proficiency, a user can even “hear” dialogue that may have passed in a certain location. Masterful users can sense whole conversations, and may even receive apparitions of people in conversation or combat, and can uncover precise events which led to the scene they find themselves in over the last couple of months, perhaps a year or so at most. A master is essentially a galaxy-class detective, with very little able to remain hidden once they sense an echo, and it matters very little how much time has passed since these events took place.
—Force Shadow (Requires Force Sense, Level 3+)
—Instinctive Astrogation (Requires Force Sense)
—INNATE Pathfinding (Requires Force Sense, Talortai species)

—Drain Force (Requires Force Bond, Sith Sorcerer)
—Merge Senses (Requires Level 3+, Force Bond)
—Force Meld (Requires Force Bond)
—Battle Meditation (Requires Level 5+, Force Bond, Telepathy, Precognition): Also known to the Sith as Sith Battle Coordination, this visualising meditative art allows the user to affect battles.
At lower levels, akin to Master Dowmat, the user must enter a deep meditation and visualise the outcome they want to happen, affecting the outcome of a small skirmish. They utilise Enhanced Coordination, allowing the user to affect a greater number of individuals by strengthening the natural bonds all life shares. For their forces, they can enhance their ability to coordinate, as well as boosting their strength, speed, stamina, and general fighting ability along with their morale. For their enemies, they can degrade all these things, making them less skilled, less capable of fighting, and uncoordinated. These benefits also apply to the user. Intermediate users gain a boost to range roughly the size of a city.
Users of advanced skill, akin to Lord Kaan, have a drastic increase in the range of their Battle Meditation, up to planetary, and may affect up to small fleets with great effort and concentration, and small skirmishes with mild signs of fatigue. At this level of skill, one gains a precognitive awareness of the battle, and may sense battle movements before they happen. They may also use it in combat, though at only half strength, and do not gain benefits outside of affecting oneself and the forces.
Masterful users, akin to Lord Caedus, can affect entire armies and fleets with less of a strain, have an effective distance of within a solar system, and affect morale to such a level that it may raise the will of a defeated army to make them victorious, and utterly crush the wills of an enemy fleet on the verge of victory, throwing smaller forces into complete chaos (and larger ones, over time).
Users of ultimate skill, akin to Darth Sidious, Bastila Shan, and Grandmaster Sunrider, have such an intense influence over the forces of battle that they may turn small forces against one another, and may throw entire enemy fleets, nearly innumerable in size, into total chaos, all the while enhancing the fighting ability, skill, and morale of their forces to such a level that they seem nearly superhuman in comparison.
—Environmental Telepathy (Requires Level 4+, Force Bond, Telepathy, Beast Language, Sith Elementalist)
—UNIQUE Time-Drifting


Alter:

—Telekinesis
—Force Push/Pull (Requires Telekinesis)
—Force Whirlwind (Requires Level 3+, Force Push/Pull)

—Ballistakinesis (Requires Telekinesis)
—Force Orb (Requires Level 4+, Telekinesis)
—Levitation (Requires Telekinesis)
—Flamusfracta (Requires Level 5+, Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis)
—Mental Shield: While many would likely be tempted to place this power under the umbrella of telepathy, they would be mistaken. A mental shield is completely focused on exactly that: shielding the mind. All other abilities relating to telepathy are directed towards reading or affecting the minds of others and are hence classified as separate.
—Telepathy
—Affect Mind (Requires Telepathy): One of the more notable abilities those proficient in the Force are capable of, the power to affect the minds of others opens up many possibilities beyond simply evading guard patrols. It can topple empires when used correctly, and though it is more than capable of persuading a patrolman to ignore obviously-illegal activity, the most powerful users are equally capable of swaying entire audiences of powerful individuals to their bidding. It is worth noting, however, that some species, such as the Hutts and Toydarians, are almost wholly immune to this power, and some individuals have undergone substantial-enough training of the will to resist grasping phantasmal hands. A powerful mind that does succumb to this power can potentially be damaged irreparably, making its use, at times, particularly hateful to the Jedi Order. The Sith, however, generally only needs to know that using the power against other Force users, even those weaker than the caster, is far more difficult than performing it on a non-Force user of comparable willpower to the caster, and will most often be shrugged off unless the difference in power level is substantial.
—Beast Control (Requires Telepathy)
—Beast Language (Requires Telepathy)
—Force Fear (Requires Telepathy): More than simple manipulation of emotions to instill fear, Force Fear involves the flooding of a target's mind with sinister psychic energy to fill them with dread, anxiety, and terror. Users of low and intermediate skill utilize Force Fear to terrify and demoralize enemies, making their attacks less potent and skilled, if they choose to still make any. Advanced users utilize an advanced version of Force Fear known as Force Horror, and instill a fear so potent that most will freeze in utter horror, unwilling to move a muscle, save for sometimes curling up and sobbing; they may also target multiple enemies. Masterful users utilize the most powerful version of Force Fear called Force Insanity, and flood their enemies' minds with such potent energy that they may instantly go insane, either collapsing into catanoia, tearing their own eyes out, committing suicide, or any number of other truly horrific things; the user may also target a greater amount of beings.
—Cleanse Mind (Requires Level 5+, Telepathy, Mental Shield): This ability, requiring some skill in shielding one's own mind, allows the user to negate any mind-affecting Force Power affecting a target.
—Force Illusion (Requires Level 3+, Telepathy)

—Neural Storm (Requires Level 3+, Sith Inquisitor, Telepathy)
—Force Suppression (Requires Level 5+, Telepathy)
—Progenitor’s Call (Requires Level 4 +, Telepathy)
—Sith Lightning (Requires Force Sense): A staple of the Sith armory for millennia, Sith Lightning, also known as Force Lightning, is the manifestation of the passion of a Sith in a violent display. Yet, lightning must be mastered by the user, for passion fully unleashed may threaten to consume its user, or even to drain them of their own vitality. Particularly pure-hearted Sith, as they have been known to crop up rarely once every few centuries, manifest this power as what the Jedi call Electric Judgment. The most amateur users are capable of emitting a spark of lightning (known as Force Shock) and may be able to manifest a few arcs, but lack the control necessary to channel their passion into greater displays, while the highest echelons of Sith Lightning users have been known to disintegrate enemies immediately, and decimate entire armies simply by extending their hands and willing it be so.
—Chain Lightning (Requires Level 4+, Sith Lightning)
—Lightning Saber (Requires Level 4+, Melee Weapon or Lightsaber AND Shii-Cho, Sith Lightning)
—Lightning Grenade (Requires Level 4+, Sith Lightning, Telekinesis)
—Kinetite (Requires Level 4+, Sith Lightning): Another variant of Force Lightning, this power allows its user to manifest lightning away from their body, unattached to their physical form. This is especially useful for those reliant on life-support apparati or cyborgs whose internal wiring is not resistant to lightning. At the lowest levels, it functions much the same as normal Force lightning, but detached from the body, whereas masterful users can conjure immense, static balls of energy to arc in all directions, like a mine in a minefield.
—Lightning Bomb (Requires Level 4+, Sith Lightning)
—Force Tempest (Requires Level 6+, Sith Lightning)
—Lightning Variant: Force Storm (Requires Level 6+, Sith Lightning): Not to be confused with the ability to consume entire fleets with the power of wormholes, the Force Storm which involves Sith Lightning is still a very powerful ability indeed. One must merely raise their hands upwards, and many bolts of energy will arc into their opponents surrounding them. At the lowest levels of proficiency, a Sith may target a handful of individuals surrounding them. Proficient users have been known to incapacitate or kill small platoons with this power. The most accomplished users can not only eliminate thousands at a whim, but may be incredibly selective with their targets, as was implied by reports from a historic battle over Exegol, though those accounts are no doubt fallcious, since they mention that enemy vessels were merely disabled, and not destroyed, when someone able to accomplish such a feat would certainly have the power to incinerate all enemies at will.
—Sith Barrage (Requires Level 6+, Sith Lightning)
—Lightning Shield (Requires Level 5+, Sith Lightning, Force Resistance)
—Lightning Aura (Requires Level 6+, Sith Lightning)
—Lightning Empowerment (Requires Level 5+, Sith Lightning, Tutaminis)
—Force Maelstrom (Requires Level 6+, Telekinesis, Force Wave, Lightning Bomb, AND Protection Bubble OR Lightning Shield)

—Tutaminis (Requires Level 3+, Force Resistance)
—Force Barrier (Requires Level 3+, Force Resistance)
—Protection Bubble (Requires Level 6+, Force Barrier, Adiabatic Shield)
—Energy Resistance (Requires Force Resistance)
—Pyrokinesis: Also known as Flame Control, Pyrokinesis is the practice of creating and controlling fire. More powerful sorceric users are able to perform this ability as a ritual to create blue flames–called Fiery Energy–that can travel across the galaxy to pursue their victims, though these flames being harmed by a lightsaber or by the Force will cause substantial harm to the user.
—Fireball Belch (Requires Level 3+, Pyrokinesis)
—Flame Aura (Requires Level 6+, Pyrokinesis)
—Fire Tornado (Requires Level 6+, Pyrokinesis, Force Whirlwind, Sith Elementalist)
—RITUAL Fiery Energy (Requires Level 7+, Pyrokinesis, Sith Sorcerer)
—Cryokinesis
—Cold Aura (Requires Level 6+, Cryokinesis)
—Alter Environment (Requires Level 4+, Sith Elementalist)
—UNIQUE Darkshear (Requires Level 6+): A horrifying power borne of the Sorcerers of Rhand and common among them, it is more difficult for a Sith to master, especially if one is not wholly committed to the principle of destruction, which all Rhandite arts must obey. At lower levels, a user may cast forth narrow rays of entropy, rotting away at flesh like a parasitic fungus, or rusting armor to brittleness. A proficient user is able to command waves of this power, extending the effect in a larger cone to a larger distance and allowing for the entropy to cause serious malfunctions in machinery and debilitating effects of aging in organic beings. The most powerful users have been known to extend this power over a whole city region, withering away at even the most potent artifacts and beings considered immortal, causing instant rot and decay in the vast majority of strikes, often leading to an immediate, painful death. They can even wither away entire starships, turning them instantly into relics of the Hundred Years Darkness. It should be noted, however, that even the smallest use of the power withers away at the user’s own flesh, and the effect becomes more pronounced the more proficient one becomes. Eventually, this can become severely crippling, and only a few powers, such as Exceptional Senectitude and Eternal Hatred, have been known to allow the user to persist despite the withering of their flesh.
—Attune Armor (Requires Sith Artificer)
—Imbue Item
—Electronic Manipulation (Requires Level 3+, Tutaminis, Affect Mind)
—RITUAL Enhance Force Sensitivity (Requires Level 9+, Sith Sorcerer, Kaiburr)
—Alter Form (Requires Level 5+, Sith Wizard OR Sith Witch) The ability to change one’s actual bodily shape at will is a painful process, and one which does not always guarantee a safe return to how things once were. A fledgling user of this power will find themselves able to sprout mandibles or grow claws, perhaps even Loth cat eyes, imitating animals as they please, though the sensation is not desirable. They also will not yet have the power to meld their clothes and possessions into their form, and so these things will be discarded or destroyed when they shift, depending on the type of transformation. A middling user is able to shift their entire form, though only to that of simple creatures, such as the Loth wolf or Wampa, though they can meld clothing and simple items, such a a rebreather or capsule of nutritional tablets, into their shape without breaking or dropping them. The most powerful users of this power have been known to transform into large, complicated beasts, such as the Wyyyschokk and Drexl, and even to take on forms from their imagination, though they are still limited in the complexity of such imaginations. They are, however, able to meld their possessions, regardless of complexity, into their form, and are much freer and quicker in their transformations. The more complex the transformation, the more pain they inflict on the user, and the more they are pushed towards the more bestial nature of the taken form. Additionally, such abilities cannot be used to cheat death, as the users are still bound metaphysically to their true form, and any injuries they suffer as a beast will be placed back onto them when they assume their natural form once more, which would possibly result in an instant death upon transforming into their weaker natural form.
—LIGHT Force Light (Requires Level 7+, Sith Archon OR Sith Paladin, Good/Neutral Alignment) (Many users of Force Light together can generate a Wall of Light. The amount it takes and their individual potency needed to create such an event is determined by either a GM or Council member)

—Force Plague (Requires Level 5+)
—Force Net (Requires Level 3+)
—Dark Plague (Requires Level 6+)
—Deadly Sight (Requires Level 3+): A dreaded power once used by the Dark Jedi Sariss in her battle with Kyle Katarn, it has since been experimented on. Though horribly inefficient to use in the midst of battle given its tiring nature, especially considering its blast cannot be refined, the power of Deadly Sight allows a user to afflict pain and suffering on an opponent at varying levels, refining the user’s passion and fury into an invisible burst from their eyes. At lower levels, the sensation is that of a very hot burning, enough to induce shock in weak opponents, though it typically will only affect one or two individuals at a time. More powerful users can expand their gaze to capture several individuals at once, frying their bodies horribly. The most powerful users will be left drained by the effort, but are capable of simply evaporating their enemies in an instant, and can do so to dozens of opponents and allies alike simultaneously.
—Dim Other’s Senses (Requires Sith Assassin)
—Conceal Essence (Requires Sith Assassin): A power practiced by those who walk in anonymity, this ability allows one to hide their Force presence from others, either disappearing in the Force or appearing as unaligned, or even alternatively aligned. While novices can disappear in the Force to prevent reconnaissance by those they are trying to sneak around, more proficient users can disguise their Force alignment, sneaking by Jedi even while conversing with them. The most powerful users are able to perform what is called Qey-Tek meditation, which allows them to appear as the kindest and most benevolent individuals to even the most perceptive of Jedi Masters.
—Corruption (Requires Level 4+)
—Create Force Wraith (Requires Level 4+)
—RITUAL Create Sith Holocron (Requires Level 7+)
—Crucitorn (Requires Level 3+, Telepathy, Telekinesis): The pain power, able to increase or decrease the pain of others or the self at the user’s will. Either the cruelest or most benevolent power of the Sith, depending on how it is used. Beginners focus telepathically on themselves or a target, causing their wounds to feel less painful than they actually are, or increasing the pain twofold. More proficient users are able to endure torture through sheer force of will, and can telekinetically irritate the wounds, causing greater injury to their opponent. The most skilled users are able to shrug off deep cuts or broken bones, even punctured lungs and traumatised hearts, or can save others from shock, or induce it in them.

—RITUAL Create Jumper (Requires Level 5+, Sith Alchemist)
—Sith Illusions (Requires Level 3+): One of the more terrifying abilities of a Sith Sorcerer, this ability contrasts sharply to Force Illusions in that it actually manifests shapes as physical beings. The term “illusion” is, truthfully, a misnomer. So long as the appeared image is believable to opponents, the effects of its presence are real. Novices are able to conjure up small, inanimate objects, such as barricades or walls to disguise themselves or protect themselves from harm, while powerful users can be more complex in their summonings, manifesting storm clouds, packs of wild beasts, or even grand weapons. The most accomplished users of this power have been known to create horrifying entities from their imaginations, commanding nightmares to attack their foes, or conjuring the presence of the ancient gods of the Sith to fight for them. Should a foe see through such an illusion, however, it becomes just that, and it loses power in the physical realm.

Godlikes: Godlike abilities are reserved for the upper echelons of Sith, with some taking lifetimes to master. Through hard work, dedication and much time spent within the Order, a Sith may come to obtain powers many, even the Jedi, could not stand to comprehend. All Godlike abilities require 10 points of investment and may require prerequisites based on level, class, subclass/prestige class, or requisite abilities.

—Sever Force (Requires Level 9+): A power once thought unique to the Light Side of the Force, the ability to cut another off from the Force is one that should not be taken lightly. Generally speaking, this power was meant only to cut off a single target at once, as the power itself is incredibly draining. Not to be confused with Wall of Light, a power exclusive to Jedi, Sever Force functions in a variety of ways. First, it can be used temporarily to cut a user off from the Force, though they can recover from this after a time, oftentimes through the ignition of passion, as was the case of Jacen Solo. It could also be used to suppress one’s own presence or abilities in the Force, though such an event was normally associated with some form of mental trauma. Alternatively, it could be used to kill the midichlorians in an organism, disabling and crippling them in the Force, though not severely enough so that the victim couldn’t still manifest as a Force Ghost in death, as was discovered by Darth Plagueis in his studies. In some instances, where the continued life of an individual depended on the Force, such a power could instantly kill them.
—UNIQUE Art of the Small (Requires Level 7+) Known also as Transmogrification to the esoteric Sorcerers of Tund, the Art of the Small allows the user to shrink their presence in the Force to the sub-microscopic level to influence cells and quarks to levels of precision nearly incomprehensible. It can be used to hide one’s presence in the Force, to transform organic and inorganic substances and beings, to extend one’s own life exponentially, or even to create horrifying plagues from seemingly harmless materials. It is one of the most powerful uses of the Force, and yet very few have unlocked its fullest potential.
—UNIQUE Midichlorian Manipulation (Requires Level 8+, Art of the Small, Sith Sorcerer OR Sith Assassin)
—UNIQUE Maxichlorian Transference (Requires Level 9+, Sith Sorcerer, Midichlorian Manipulation)
—LIGHT Wall of Light (Requires Level 9+, Force Light) A detestable power to all but the zealous Sith Archons and some Paladins, a Wall of Light is deadly to most Dark Side practitioners, capable of not only separating them from the Force, but violently shattering their spirits and shunting them into Chaos. This power, most often, is performed by several Jedi at once, but the most powerful of Jedi Force users, when properly aligned in spirit, can conjure it alone. It is, essentially, a version of Force Light that can affect individuals in a much larger area, or be concentrated to a single target, to eliminate their Force abilities. Additionally, the Wall acts as a barrier which darkness cannot pass through. Unlike Sever Force, this power is only effective against those practiced and immersed in the Dark Side of the Force and has no effect on Jedi or other benevolent Force wielders.
—Oneness (Requires [REDACTED], Impossible to obtain)
—Dark Transfer (Requires Level 7+, Shatterpoint)
—UNIQUE, RITUAL Gravemind (Requires Level 9+, Sith Sorcerer, Sith Runes, Dark Side Spirit OR Force Ghost) A horrifying power with unspeakable ramifications. Sith runes carved into a body allow one to protect themselves from death so long as another remembers them. When a Sith has made a name for themselves, this power allows for nearly infinite immortality, quite possibly the most effective means of such. Unfortunately, the secrets of how to make use of this power have been lost to time, as only Tenebrae, the dreaded Sith Emperor, was ever known to have performed it. Strange, then, that he is still remembered and yet does not manifest. But nonetheless, we have no means of replicating this power, but I chronicle it here out of a respect for history.
Atamus was no fool, but was simply unaware of how this power was used. It depended upon the persistence of metaphysical parasites embedded into the mindscapes of sentient beings, who would be the link between the mortal plane and beyond for the Graveminded being. So long as that parasite was not cleansed (as with the genetic Flashburn power, or the powerful Memory Rub) an individual could continue to return from the dead.
—Dark Side Spirit (Requires Level 6+) When a powerful Sith perishes, their spirit is often able to cling to the material world with all their passion intact, manifesting as a furious or forlorn spirit imprinted at the place of their death. Oftentimes, this spirit is only a fragment of the full personality of the Sith in life, and does not have the same “autonomy,” if it can be called that, that the Jedi power of Force Ghost allows. While they may interact with others calling upon them, their mode of travel is nearly non-existent, and their being is fragmented without further powers. Of all the Sith spirits encountered, only Freedon Nadd and Marka Ragnos are known to have been capable of manifesting beyond their grave and site of death, but these Sith were anything but normal.
—Transfer Essence (Requires Level 7+, Dark Side Spirit OR Force Ghost, Sith Sorcerer)
—RITUAL Transfer Essence [Object] (Requires Level 8+, Dark Side Spirit OR Force Ghost, Drain Force, Drain Life, Alchemical Apparatus, Sith Sorcerer)
—Transfer Essence [Computer] (Requires Level 7+, Dark Side Spirit OR Force Ghost, Sith Technomage OR Sith Borg, Mechu Deru OR Electrical Manipulation)
—LIGHT Force Ghost (Requires Level 7+, Sith Archon OR Sith Paladin OR Good/Neutral alignment AND Council Approval) Very few Sith have been known throughout the ages to be able to enter into communion with the Force after their passing. Rather than merely an imprint on the material plane, a Force Ghost is the whole of who the Sith was in life and is able to move and act with autonomy, even transmaterializing across the galaxy. The only notable Sith user of this power was Darth Marr, whose noble spirit and dedication to a cause greater than the Sith Order allowed him to achieve such matrimony with the Force.
—LIGHT, UNIQUE Postmortem Influence (Requires Level 9+, Force Ghost)
—UNIQUE Flow-Walking (Requires Level 8+)
—Dark Side Tendrils (Requires Level 6+, Sith Sorcerer, Evil Alignment)
—UNIQUE Scintillation (Requires Level 9+, Sith Thaumaturge OR Sith Alchemist)
—Eternal Hatred (Requires Level 7+, Evil Alignment)
—Force Walk (Requires Level 7+, Sith Necromancer, Invoke Spirits, Drain Force)
—RITUAL Supernova (Requires Level 9+, Sith Thaumaturge, Sith Crystals)
—RITUAL Thought Bomb (Requires Level 7+)
—UNIQUE Hunger (Requires Level 9+, Transforming into A Wound in the Force, Death Field, Evil Alignment)
—Wormhole: Force Storm (Requires Level 9+, Force Maelstrom, Instinctive Astrogation OR Instinctive Astrogation Control)
—FREE Wormhole: Force Fire Storm (Requires Level 9+, Pyrokinesis, Wormhole: Force Storm)
—UNIQUE Darksight (Requires Level 9+, Sith Prophet, Battle Meditation, Precognition, Evil Alignment) One of the most dreaded dark abilities used by the nefarious Sorcerers of Rhand, the power Darksight allows one to peer into the future and select the course of events they wish to happen, influencing the Force towards this path. There are, however, a few stipulations, for though it would seem too good to be true, this is precisely the case. The infamous Cronal, himself as Sorcerer of Rhand, once claimed that he had used this power to bring the Galactic Empire to its most grandiose state. This, however, is not necessarily true, for Darksight is not a foolproof power, and has been known to betray its user, or to utterly fail in its usage. The more one uses it, the less likely it is to work, and the closer to insanity the user grows before they are violently pushed over the edge. Furthermore, the use of this power is synonymous with evil and darkness, and while a Sith may use it, it should be noted that it only pushes for destruction. Any attempt to use it to create, protect, or fortify will most assuredly fail, for such is the nature of the powers borne of Rhand. I wouldn’t wish this power unto anyone, for it sounds the most agonizing torment.
