Guide to the Force

[Rasu Gan]

This is completely for the benefit of those wanting to teach, or for those who are looking at finding training in a specific field. More advanced techniques will be added as well, but must be confirmed by the Silver Jedi Council before training can begin. Below will be posted a list of abilities that can be channeled through the Force, please remember that some techniques are only to be trained/performed at a certain level/rank. (e.g: Force lightning/Emerald Lightning would have a greater result from a Master more than a Padawan).

The Force

The Force is a mystical, binding and universal power that holds enormous importance to all beings in the Galaxy, holding the systems together and connecting all living things through this energy field. The Force is viewed in many different aspects, including but not limited to, the Light side, the Dark side, the Unifying Force and the Living Force. The first two aspects, these being of Light and Dark, also being known as Ashla and Bogan, are concerned with the moral compass of the Force, as manifested by the conduct and emotions of living creatures who are themselves part of the fabric of the Force.

The Light Side of the Force is the sect aligned with compassion, selflessness, self-knowledge and enlightenment, healing, mercy and benevolence, whereas the Dark Side of the Force is the element aligned with hatred, fear, greed, anger, aggression, jealousy and malevolence. These next two aspects are defined by the current Jedi philosophies: The Unifying Force essentially embraced space and time in its entirety while the Living Force deals with the energy of all that are living. Though the Force is categorised in this way, there are no specific abilities or powers that are usable by a follower of a particular path of the Force, meaning that basically what you can do with the Force is infinite.

The Force has a range of recorded powers that exist in accordance to fundamental attributes that are important in the terms of nature, and are determined by the way in which a user is able to focus on the Force while using an ability. The aspects of the Force are divided into three sub-groups; Control, Sense and Alter. Under these three groups, are several core abilities that can be expanded upon and changed depending on the user. From these core abilities, are several different ways to manipulate the Force, all are different in the individuals hands, whether taught through Jedi teachings and Sith, Light Side and Dark, the overall result will differ for each practitioner.

Control

This aspect focuses primarily on the user’s body, extending the feats that one could normally perform. Control is taught as a way for Jedi to open their minds to the Force and establish a base point for further development. As mentioned before the central theme of this aspect is based on the ability to control one’s own body, focusing primarily through vigorous meditations and trances. A well-known side effect of mastering Control would be prolonged life and avoidance of bodily decay, having established discipline over the body. Three main abilities are centered on Control, those being tutaminis(energy absorption), curato salva (healing self and others) and altus sopor(invisibility).

Sense

Sense abilities are often taught to Padawans to broaden the scope of their Control Abilities, as well as allowing them to be perfected as they continue on their progression through the Order. Dipping into a deeper understanding of the Living Force, Sense abilities allow Force-wielders to immerse themselves in the environment. By the end of their apprenticeship, Padawans are expected to use the Force as an additional sense, constantly attuned to the flow of the Force. Sense abilities are divided into four main sections: prima vitae (tracking through the Force), tactus otium, taivordrax/psychometry andprojected telepathy. While there are many other styles to the Sense family, these are considered the most vital to Jedi teachings.
