OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION


He saw the battlefield with clarity he didn't know existed. His eyes flicked from display to display and ship to ship, the fatigue he'd expected to set in a long time ago still vacant from his mind, the storm never rolling in. Since their first loss they hadn't lost any other capital ships and fighters were performing far above expected levels of efficiency in the field. His eyes fell on the Jedi Knight and he wondered if this was her doing.
- Dracken Pryce


And just like that, Morbus felt his mind being assaulted. The pain that passed through his consciousness was excruciating, as though he was being torn apart by thousands of beasts, ripped to shreds and scattered on an open flame. It literally knocked the sense out of the Sith, as his yellow eyes lolled back into his head, his tongue hanging from his gaping mouth. Morbus almost toppled to the floor, were it not for the braced position he had been in.
- Darth Morbus, experiencing Romi's mental assault


He felt her body against his and the way the Force moved around her, through her, and around them. He felt like having her nearby could strengthen him. That was a feeling.
- Coren Starchaser

GENERAL INFORMATION
  • Media Name: The Heightened Influence of Luminous Beings: Notes on Battle Meditation
  • Format: Pages (Book)
  • Distribution: Rare (also backed up to a memory crystal in her possession which only a select people know exist)
  • Length: Medium
  • Description: A page of notes detailing Jade's path to discovering her natural affinity for the art of Battle Meditation, the things she's been capable of, and how to do it.

SOCIAL INFORMATION
  • Author: Jedi Master Romi Jade
  • Publisher: Self
  • Reception: These are thoughts, observations, experiences, and lessons that Romi has learned over time. She decided to document her experiences in her private time with the intention of it helping those who wanted to learn more about a very important, rare, and difficult Force skill to master, even for the most experienced Jedi Masters. It's a piece of a larger book she is writing. It's not widely known or available anywhere else for there to be tons of reception. Beyond the pages she authored and spare memory crystal she keeps, this is flying under the radar.

FORMAT INFORMATION
To be included in a larger book Romi is authoring, this reads from left to right on two pages. Handwritten notes and marks that outline her experiences and her reflections on them, along with pointers, and tips for the studier. The information contained in the crystal could only be accessed when placed in a holocron which, in turn, could only be opened with the Force. Once opened, the three-dimensional appearance and cognitive networks of Master Jade, that could sense the ability and level of a Jedi, would appear to begin explaining Battle Meditation and related techniques.


CONTENT INFORMATION
These pages cover the art of Battle Meditation -- prerequisite skills -- advanced techniques -- drawbacks -- and variants
  • Force Empathy, an ability that allowed users to pick up impressions of an individual's feelings and general emotional state. Having an understanding of the inner emotional workings of beings will be a boon to weeding through tensions, motivations, and consequences in the future. [pre-req]
  • Force Meld, an ability that allowed users to join their minds together through the Force, drawing strength from each other. Helps coordination for users who are on the same side. The demand is smaller than that of Battle Meditation, smaller number of sentient minds influenced -- relatively easier to master gets easier with those your close with or meld with often. [pre-req]

  • Battle Meditation, an ability that considerably boosted the morale, stamina, and overall battle prowess of an individual's allies while simultaneously reducing the opposition's combat-effectiveness by eroding their will to fight. Done by visualizing the outcome you want -- takes time to refine and master.
    • Drawbacks
      • Often requires being stationary to maintain focus
      • Can be draining after constant use
      • Can't be used on self in early stages
      • Might require build up

  • Advanced techniques for those with dedicated training, who are able to sufficiently control and conserve their Force reserves. [Master Level]:
    • Combating Sith Magic & Illusions - Here - Here - Here
    • Control and influence minds - Here - Here
    • Psionic shields & disruption (which causes pain) - Here - Here - Here - Here - Here
    • Battlemind - internalized, and hyper focused sustained use can put you on route to learning and utilizing it.
    • Dampen Force / Sever Force-
      • Romi scribbled on the side: "Darksiders drew power from raw emotions and feelings such as anger, hatred, greed, jealousy, fear, aggression, megalomania, and unrestrained passion. You could combate a dark siders use of the Force by pulling their powers and what fuels them (negative emotions) away from them, essentially cutting them off from the Force or weakening their control over it. This is a very taxing technique usable only by those with experience in battle meditation." - Here - Here
      • She scribbled some more: "This saved my life, brought me back from the grip of the Dark Side. With Coren's help in weakening the dark magics hold on me with Force Light, I was able to free myself completely using this technique to pull the dark influence away from me...expelling Taeli's influence completely." - Here

  • Sith Battle Coordination, this perversion of battle meditation allowed users to twist the wills of their commanded armies not through subtle influence, but with total domination. However, beings are not always easily subjugated and can react with hostility to psychic intrusion. [Dark Side]

HISTORICAL INFORMATION
This Force power was first made famous by the ancient Jedi Masters Odan-Urr, Arca Jeth, and Nomi Sunrider. Odan-Urr used it during the Unification Wars, while Arca Jeth used it with great success during the Beast Wars of Onderon. Being naturally adept, Nomi Sunrider applied battle meditation in nearly every conflict she participated in, such as the Freedon Nadd Uprising, and the Battle of Koros Major. It was also practiced by Bastila Shan during the Jedi Civil War and the Battle of Rakata Prime, with impressive results.

Between 830-840s ABY, In her youth, padawanship to Knighthood, Romi was manifesting an extremely powerful Force persuasion, being able to enhance her voice and exert influence. Her skill in this area was enough to where she could easily affect the minds of some species with highly organized mental facilities with time and extreme effort.

In 855 ABY, Romi Jade's latent mental abilities grew, as she was the only Jedi at the Deneba Enclave who could Force Meld, a rare ability that saved hundred of refugees at the Battle of Hoylin. She went on to do this during the Battle of Coruscant when she melded over 10 plus Force-sensitives and maintained the link while in the midst of a duel and while the temple was collapsing around her. She demonstrated this ability several times later, one instance being when she melded a group of Jedi together in order to erect a Force shield large enough to save her allies from orbital bombardment.

By 860 ABY, she was demonstrating the ability and power to break through someones mental barriers with ease, something she'd done to Veiere Arenais, a Jedi Master and Darth Morbus, a Sith Lord. Her natural talents for melding eventually grew into Battle Meditation; She broke through illusions in the Invasion of Pantora, and then carried on a marathon telepathic/mental battle with Sith while influencing the strike team below -- she did the same during the Battle of Balmorra with Dracken Pryce. By this point, her control and focus had gotten to the point where she could mould the amount of energy she needed to perform a given ability while remaining active on the field.

Notably, it was the ability she used to break herself free from the darkside and Sith sorcery used to enslave her -- by effectively pulling the dark side itself away from her being.

It wasn't until recently that she decided to document and record her personal history and experiences using the ability. Becoming Headmaster of an Enclave, and a bunch of near-death experiences made her want to author some sort of tome and record data for her Holocron one day. As of now she's only shared her notes with Jend-Ro Quill Jend-Ro Quill as they often muse and theorize over such things along with him being an instructor at the Enclave, Coren Starchaser Coren Starchaser and Cotan Sar'andor Cotan Sar'andor both close friends of hers and people she's melded with and boosted often have also seen drafts.
