Book 6: Advanced Dark Side Abilities

 

With the arts of the earlier two sections now mastered, the seeker of full Dark Side knowledge is now able to progress to more advanced stages.  These stages are detailed herein up to the most advanced power of all - leaving the body.  It should be warned that these powers should not be attempted by a novice in the art of Force manipulation.  Should this occur, it is likely that the novice will be overcome by the Force and will be unable to rectify his mistakes.

 

This duly noted, we shall continue.

 

Force Lightning

 

This Force Power is one of the strongest that can be used.  It manifests itself in the form of an energy bolt with which one can inflict serious wounds on an enemy, or, indeed kill him.  The bolts operate by way of draining the life essence of the victim, rendering him helpless.

 

Using this power is extremely difficult, and should only be attempted by a master in the arts of the Force, one through whom the Force flows strongly, and who is in full communion with his anger.

 

To use it, one should channel all the negative emotions of self into the fingers.  Soon, they will begin to glow, and shortly thereafter bursts of lightning will leave the tips of them.  It is important to note that when one wishes to cease using this power one must channel his energies slowly away as to remove them immediately will result in the lightning reverting too quickly, and thus harming himself.

 

Drain Life Essence

 

This power requires that the wielder tap into the Force on a strong level, but leave himself open to extra input.  The result of the Power is to remove the life essence of one’s opponent and drain it into oneself.

 

Force Destroy

 

This is perhaps the most destructive of all Force powers.  This power can only be used by those strongest in the Force, and is used to destroy buildings or constructions.  In the hands of a master of the art, it can be used to destroy whole cities.  Closely linked with Force Lightning, it is utilised in such a way that the Lightning is withheld within the body without being released until the wielder is ready.  When he has amassed enough Force within his body, the wielder can release it at any given building or construction and it will crumble before his eyes.  It is important with this power to release all Force energies on release of the Lightning Destroy Bolt.  Should this not be done, remainders of the Bolt can revert back to the user and injure, perhaps kill him.

 

Warp Mind

 

With this Power it is possible to damage the mind of an opponent to a large degree, and also to even go so far as to destroy it.  It should only be wielded by a Force Master.

 

Leaving the Body

 

This is perhaps the most deadly skill of all, and should not be attempted by the Novice.  The Ruler should, in fact, reserve all knowledge of this power for him or herself.  It is well to note at this point that once the mind has left the body, the body is essentially dead, and should not be left for longer than an hour, for at this point the processes of death set in to the point where it is impossible to return.  At this point, the mind becomes to all intents and purposes eternal, living forever with no body, and no way of returning to solid flesh unless through the theft of another’s body.

 

To leave the body, it is essential to be calm and alone.  The body is very vulnerable whilst the mind is not in it, and it is essential that one be in a place where one’s body is secure from marauders.  Focus the Force, and slowly begin to project the mind outside the body.  There may be a slight tearing or painful sensation as the mind suddenly rips itself out of the body.

 

This process can take minutes or several hours, but depends very much on the ability of the individual.  Once the need for outer body experience is over, it is advised to return to the body as quickly as possible for the abovementioned reasons.  To do this, simply project mind just back into body, and it will return, sometimes with a little pain as it reabsorbs itself into the brain.

 

This power can also be used to rip the minds of others from their bodies, whereupon it is easy to destroy the bodies.  However, note that should this power be attempted whilst the wielder himself is in essential form (i.e. external to his body), the power used to facilitate the departure of another’s mind from his body is enough to render the wielder incapable of returning to his own.

 

The mind forcibly removed from its body is unable to return.
