Absorb/Dissipate Energy

This is the Skill of Absorbing Energy directed at the Jedi- including, but not limited to, light, heat, radiation and electricity. This skills allows you then to either slowly allowit to dissipate back into the surrounding energy of the Force, or use it to power other skills or to replenish your energy. Be forewarned though- the applications of this skill are limited by each person. There is no way to gauge how much energy each person can handle. As such, it is advised that without proper training or at least a partner to help you if needed, practice of this skill should be avoided. Thus, to practice this skill, you should be at a level of training that will allow you find your own methods.

Accelerate Healing

Simply put, this is the act of healing one's injuries at an accelerated pace. There are many methods and styles that teach this skill.

This is done by focusing one's internal energies on the wound or injury and using that energy to heal the problem. (Please understand that this isn't an instant healing process, it is meant only to speed up the process by focusing your body's energy towards that task.)

Anger

This is the act of concentrating on all of your negative feelings, and using that energy to momentarily touch the Force.

Use of this skill by a Jedi will quickly lead one to the Dark Side.

Calculate

Basic Skills: Concentration, Meditative Trance

This is mainly a training skill. It is the act of using Meditation techniques to center your mind on extremely difficult mathematical equations with the aid of the Force to help you solve them.

Calm

This skill is the usage of a technique similar to the Calming Breath. It is used to focus and to calm yourself.

Cognitive Trance

This is the skill of focusing yourself on studying a subject, for example speed reading and such other abilities.

Concentration

This is the ability to clear your mind of all negative thoughts and to focus on the flow of the Force through the universe and your own being.

It seems simple, but realize that this skill is meant to be used under any and all kinds of situations. Taken this way, it soon becomes apparent this is indeed one of the most important skills a Jedi can ever hope to learn.

The simplest and most effective method for practicing this skill is to meditate in all kinds of situations. Learn to be able to focus your mind by doing it.

Contort/Escape

Basic Skills: Concentration, Control Pain, Enhance Attribute

This is the ability to dislocate joints, soften bones, and the like, so that one may escape from physical restraining devices. This is often a painful and difficult (but physically possible) method. Jedi are trained to block out this pain.

This is also a skill that should never be practiced without some supervision, as it can be quite dangerous.

Control Disease

Basic Skills: Enhance Attribute

This is the ability to focus and direct the anti-bodies and healing resources of one's body to throw off an infection or to resist disease within the body.

Control Pain

This is the skill of ignoring pain. When hurt, a Jedi blocks out the pain from any injuries he may be suffering, so that he can continue to do what he needs to do. This is not a healing technique, it's simply a blocking technique. Any good fighter or Martial Artist will know this skill.

Detoxify Poison

This is the act of slowly cleansing your system. This is not an instant cure-all. As such, this skill is not a safeguard against taking poisons (doing so is foolish). What this skill does is allow the Jedi to either flush his system of the effects of chemicals (alcohol, drugs) for a very limited time, to focus on a task at hand. The effects are still there however. Once the person reaches their limit, the effects return fully.

The other method of using this skill is to speed up the removal of the chemical by focusing your internal energies to push it from your blood stream in the method it would naturally follow.

Emptiness

Basic Skills: Hibernation Trance

This is the act of empting your mind and allowing the Force to flow through you. This is a very deep meditation. It is in effect similar to a self imposed coma. Therefore, it is suggested that this skill is not attempted without being taught it by a master. Using this skill opens you fully to the Force as all outside influences are unfelt. This also grants an enhanced connection to the Force for an equal amount of time that when spends in this state. The danger comes from some students not having the skill to wake themselves from this state, and therefore, should only be practiced with a partner who can pull you out if necessary.

Enhance Attribute

This is the act of using the Force to enhance a certain attribute for a limited time. A Jedi can use this to jump higher, see farther, or run faster. Most Jedi can only affect one attribute at a time, as the act of doing so requires intense focus.

Practice of this skill is done be the same methods used in Accelerate Healing, except you focus the energy on the area you wish to enhance and then infuse it into the muscles.

Force Charged Strike

Basic Skills: Emptiness or Rage, Absorb/Dissipate Energy

Through total concentration, a Jedi can focus the Force into their fist or foot and deliver a single, devastating blow to an opponent.

It is unwise to study this skill as its usage leans more towards the Dark Side then the Light, though as with many skills, how and why it is used matter greatly.

Force of Will

This skill is the usage of your own willpower to counteract the actions of others using the Force to affect your mind . This is also useful for countering such things as Hypnosis.

This is a sort of anti-mind trick, used for keeping yourself from being affected by others.

Practice in this comes simply from usage.

Hibernation Trance

This is another form of deep meditation. During this trance, a Jedi slows all body functions. The heartbeat slows, the breathing drops to barely perceivable levels, and she becomes unconscious. When entering this state, a Jedi sets the stimulus that will awake her, whether after a set time, at a touch from someone, or if danger approaches.

This serves two purposes. It allows a Jedi to "play dead." It can also be used to survive when food or air supplies are low.

Meditative Trance

This should be among the first skills ever taught a student. It is basically the skill of being able to meditate fully.

Rage

Basic Skills: Hibernation Trance

This is for all intents the same as the Emptiness skill. The only difference is that usage of this power is not done while calm, but instead it is done while angered or hate-filled, by focusing on the emotion and amplifying it, blocking out all outside influences and cutting oneself off from all things except the feelings of anger, hatred and such. You can gain the same benefits as from Emptiness.

This is obviously a Dark Side skill, thus we advise against seeking to learn this.

Reduce Injury

Basic Skills: Control Pain

This skill is used to greatly reduce the effects of injuries by channeling the Force into them. While this can be quite a useful skill, but it requires immense amounts of energy to be directed at the wound.

Remain Conscious

Basic Skills: Control Pain

As it sounds, this is an act of intense willpower. This skill is used when a Jedi has suffered a blow or enough injuries that would knock a person unconscious. The Jedi uses the Force to remain conscious.

Remove Fatigue

Basic Skills: Accelerate Healing, Control Pain

The Jedi uses this skill to combat the effects of strenuous work. Basically put, the Jedi manipulates the Force, causing bodily toxins (adrenaline and endorphins) to be ejected much more efficiently, thus allowing for greater stamina.

Short-Term Memory Enhancement

Basic Skills: Hibernation Trance

This is the act of replaying recent events in order to more carefully examine images and peripheral occurrences. This is a skill that takes time and practice to develop.

A simple way to develop this skill is to look around the room you are sitting in. Then once you have a firm idea of it, shut your eyes and try to reconstruct the room in your mind from memory. Then compare the two images by holding the image you have made and opening your eyes. Note any mistakes you made. As you get better at this, lessen the time you look around before closing your eyes.

Voice Amplification

This is the skill of amplifying your voice to fill an area. This isn't yelling, it is speaking at a normal level, but letting the Force to carry your voice outward to fill the area.
