Offense
Blue Glass Arrow Main article: Offense
"Offense encompasses the Force skills with immediate, dynamic applications for
lightsaber combat."
―Darth Bane, in Book of Sith[5]
In Darth Bane's teachings, the school or focus called Offense included immediately
applicable techniques that required little exertion, making them particularly
useful in lightsaber duels. Such skills included Inertia, Blind, Push, Choke, and
Throw.[5]
Body
Blue Glass Arrow Main article: Body
"The second school, or focus, Body, encompasses those abilities that draw from the
living Force. They emanate from your own cells and affect the physical structures
of others."
―Darth Bane, in Book of Sith[5]
Another of Bane's teachings, Body drew from the living Force in one's own cells to
physically affect another being, at the possible cost of damaging the user's own
body. Body techniques included lightning, convection, cryokinesis, drain life, and
death field.[5]
Mind
Blue Glass Arrow Main article: Mind
"The third school, or focus, Mind, encompasses those abilities that draw from the
unifying Force. These operate on a different plane than the physical—they exist in
the realm of thought and memory."
―Darth Bane, in Book of Sith[5]
The last of Bane's focuses or schools was Mind, drawing upon the unifying Force to
act upon thought and memory instead of the physical realm of the body. Unlike
Offense, intense concentration and psychic strength were demanded by abilities such
as Crucitorn, Hatred, Horror, Memory Walk, and Mind Shard[5]
Sith magic
Blue Glass Arrow Main article: Sith magic
"It is not sufficient to simply use Force powers, as the Jedi teach. Ritual gives
spellcasting added power."
―Sorzus Syn, journal excerpt in Book of Sith[5]
The incantations of Sith magic were originated by the Sith species. They included
Sutta Chwituskak (Bolt of Hatred), Odojinya (Dark Side Web), Qâzoi Kyantuska
(Suppress Thought), Dwomutsiqsa (Summon Demon), and Tsaiwinokka Hoyakut (Reanimated
Dead).[5]
Users of the dark side of the Force, such as the Sith, drew upon intense emotions,
especially negative feelings, such as fear, hatred, and anger, as well as thoughts
of greater power to make use of abilities not often practiced by those such as the
Jedi.
Darth Plagueis was a powerful Sith Lord so skilled in the dark side of the Force
that he was able to manipulate midi-chlorians to create life itself and to prevent
death.[4] Other dark side means of restoring oneself included stealing vitality
from others[26] and using dark potions to heal.[28]
Force lightning was a powerful dark-side ability in which a Force user emitted pure
Force energy, in the form of electricity, from his or her fingers. This lighting
had the ability to cause serious pain, permanent damage, and, if a target was
exposed to enough, death.[4][7] The lightning was so powerful that even the caster
of lightning was not immune to it.[4] Darth Vader was never able to use Force
lightning because of his injuries in the Duel on Mustafar. Ordinarily, Force
lightning was blue, though other colors were possible; for example, the Son's
lightning was red.[15] Some lightsiders also used lightning, such as Rey[26] and
Yoda.[28]
Some Sith, including Palpatine, had an ability called Dark Aura, which was a form
of Force lightning that formed a miasma that damaged and slowed enemies.[10]
Another dark side battle ability was focused rage, which increased the user's
aggression and potency while simultaneously decreasing the damage they sustained.
[10]
The dark side was also the source of both Sith and Nightsister magick. Sith magic
(or Sith alchemy), which could take the form of blue flames, was used by Palpatine
to access the World Between Worlds and to create illusions.[29] Sith alchemy was
also used to reinforce Kylo Ren's helmet when it was rebuilt by Albrekh.[30] Unlike
other Force techniques, Sith alchemy sometimes required the Sith's blood.
Nightsister magick generally took the form of green mist and had many uses. For
example, it could temporarily reanimate corpses as zombies[31] and was used by
Mother Talzin to show Savage Opress that his brother Maul had survived the duel on
Naboo. The Nightsisters also had the ability to teleport themselves and others.[6]
Additionally, their magick could be used as a shield that could repel blaster
bolts, to levitate, and even to grant invisibility.[32]
Palpatine used the dark side of the Force to transfer his consciousness into a
clone after he was betrayed by Darth Vader.
The Inquisitor known as the Second Sister was able to use the Force to move at
incredibly high speeds for short periods of time. Although this is also common for
Light side users.[6]
Snoke was able to manipulate the Force-bond between Rey and Ben Solo, in which they
could see each other (though not their surroundings) over vast distances and were
able to converse.[19] Matter and objects could sometimes pass between individuals
in a Force dyad,[19][26] which Rey deliberately used to pass a lightsaber to Ben
Solo during the Battle of Exegol.[26]
The Chiss also had Force-sensitive navigators, whom they referred to as ozyly-
esehembo, Cheunh for "sky-walkers."[34] However, this fact was kept secret from
non-Chiss, and the Ascendancy often hired outside navigators.[33] Sky-walkers were
almost exclusively female, unlike in most species, where Force powers were evenly
distributed. Additionally, and likewise unusually, sky-walkers almost always lost
their powers by adulthood, except in Vah'nya's case. Sky-walkers could use two
powers, called Second Sight and Third Sight. Second Sight referred to telepathy,
while Third Sight referred to precognition. The latter was far more common.[34]
