How Force Powers are Aligned



Control


The most basic Force techniques, requiring mastery over self. Control was the first basic abilities to be learned by a Jedi.


Force speed also known as burst of speed or Force sprint.


Force stealth Also known as Force concealment.



Force Sense

The Force technique of Force Sense included all abilities enhancing perception of the world around a being.


Force sight also known as Force seeing or Combat sense, was a basic Force ability, perhaps related to Force sense. It enhanced the bearer's visual and spatial perception even in the dark or behind walls.


Farseeing was the ability to gain vague impressions of events happening in other places or times using the Force. These visions focused on strong imagery and emotions. The future is always in motion, however, and is thus subject to change.


Force empathy.


Telepathy was the very basic ability to mentally communicate over small or vast distances with other individuals.




Alter

The most perceptive to the dark side, alter was the last technique taught to younglings. It included powers to create external phenomenon.


Telekinesis

Force Jump/Leap.

Force Pull/Push.



Universal


Universal powers were generic Force techniques which were associated with neither side of the Force. Almost all Core powers also qualified as Universal powers, but many of them were uncommon and not an integral part of basic Jedi training.


Art of the Small was a radical Force technique. By narrowing their focus, a Force user could essentially shrink their presence in the Force to a microscopic size. While in this state, the user could operate molecules in any way they wanted, turning them into something completely different.


Aing-Tii fighting-sight was a particular form of highly accurate precognition used by the Aing-Tii, experts in the manipulation of space and time, in battle.

Shatterpoint were a complex Force phenomenon, perceivable only by an unknown innate talent or immense focus and concentration on the part of the Force-user. Shatterpoints were akin to fault lines; similar to different pathways of actions. Adept Force-users were able to perceive these faults through the Force, and influence them.


Tapas.



Light


"A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack."

―Yoda.


Light side powers were the Force powers that the user accessed through the Force's light side. The Jedi used them for protection, increasing physical and mental capacities, and for defense. They could also inspire and increase the resolve of allies. Certain light side powers could also be used offensively, but did not directly cause physical harm.

Dark

"A Sith knows when to unleash the fury of the dark side, and when to hold back. Patience can be a weapon if you know how to use it, and your anger can fuel the dark side if you learn how to control it."

―Darth Bane.


Dark side powers were used to harm, debilitate, or kill. Some, like Rage and Drain, were used to benefit the user personally, akin to powers of the light side, with the difference that these were used at the expense of his or her own health or another individual's Force reserve. The dark side drew its power from negative emotions, and while the intent behind their use may well have been good at the time, it was most likely to lead one to further spiritual corruption from overuse, without the proper self control and mindset. Continuous use of dark powers was shown to have a physically corrupting effect on the Force-user, regardless of intent, due to the body's inability to handle such power for long periods of time.
