    Control Related Skills


    Control Skills represent the ability to control one's own inner Force. A Jedi with these skills learns ( or is learning ) mastery over the functions of his/her body and harmony with nature.

    Absorb/Dissipate Energy
    This is the Skill of Absorbing Energy directed at the Jedi....including but not limited to light,heat,radiation and electricity. Then either slowly allowing to to dissipate back into the surrounding energy of the Force...Or using it to power other skills or to replenish you...Be fore warned though.....The applications of this skill are limited person by person....There is no way to gauge how much energy each person can handle...As such it is advised that with out proper training or at the least a partner to help you if needed....That practice of this skill be avoided. As such I have decided not to include any methods of how to practice this skill

    Accelerate Healing
    Simply put this is the act of healing ones injuries at an accelerated pace....There are many methods and styles that teach this skill....Reiki,Chi Gung (Qi-Gong) just to name two..
    This is done by focusing ones internal energies on the wound or injury and using that energy to heal the problem....(Please understand this isn't an instant healing process...It simply is meant to speed up the process by focusing your bodies energy towards that task.)

    Anger
    This is simply 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 high-order(Extremely Difficult) Mathametical Equations with the aid of the Force to help you solve them.

    Calm
    To put it simply this skill is just the usage of a technique similar to the     Calming Breath. To focus yourself and to calm yourself.

    Cognitive Trance
    This is the skill of focusing yourself on studying a subject
    For example speed reading and such skills

    Concentration
    Put simply this is just 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.
    Seems simple enough doesn't it? But relise that this skill is meant to be used under any and all kinds of situations. Taken this way...It soon becomes apperant 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 simply the ability to dislocate joints, softening 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.....

    Control Disease
    Basic Skills:    Enhance Attribute
    This is the ability to focus and direct the anti-bodies and healing resources of ones bodies to throw off an infection or to resist disease within the body

    Control Pain
    This is simply enough the skill of ignoring pain....When hurt a Jedi blocks out the pain from any injures he/she may be suffering...So that they can continue to do what they need 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. (Depends on the person as to how limited) To focus on a task at hand. (The effects are still there however...As such 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 pushing it from your blood stream in the method it would naturally follow.

    Emptiness
    Basic Skills:     Hibernation Trance
    This is the act of emptying your mind and allowing the Force to flow through you. This is a very deep meditation..This is in effect similar to a self imposed Coma...As such it is suggested that this skill is not attempted without being taught it.....You might wonder why anyone would wish to do this to themselves...Doing so 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.

    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, run faster. Most 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 it's usage leans more towards the Dark Side then the Light...Though as with many skills...How and why they are used....Matter greatly.

    Force of Will
    This skill is simply the usage of your own Willpower to counteract others using the Force to affect your mind . (Also useful for countering such things as Hypnosis)
    Practice in this comes simply from usage.

    Hibernation Trance
    This is another form of deep meditation.....During this a Jedi slows all body functions. The heartbeat slows, the breathing drops to barely percievable levels, and you become unconcious. When entering this state a Jedi sets the stimulis that will awake him/her. Be it after a set time....Or 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 as is obvious a Dark Side related skill...Thus I advise against seeking to learn this.

    Reduce Injury
    Basic Skills:    Control Pain
    This is a purely speculative skill. As I don't know for sure it works...But my theory is that by channeling enough of the Force into an Injury. You can heal it almost instantly.....(Though there are repruccisions no doubt for doing this. As it would require immense amounts of energy to be directed at the wound.

    Remain Conscious
    Basic Skills:    Control Pain
    As it sounds this is just an act of intense willpower. The use of this skill is that when a Jedi has suffered a blow or enough injures 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 (Adreneline and endorphines) 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....

    Voice Amplification
    Simply the skill of Amplifing the voice to fill an area...This isn't Yelling...It speaking at a normal level...But letting the Force to carry your voice outward to every corner of a room.
