Force Power: Ichor Lightning
Control Difficulty: Ruination Level I
Time to Use: One minute.
Effect: Green smoke billows from the palm of the user’s hand, choking and blinding foes that get caught in it. Stronger versions of this ability allow this smoke to be flammable. Ichor lighting courses over and into its target, convulsing the target with serious pain, and eventually killing him. Armor does not protect a character from Ichor lightning. Ichor lightning causes 1D of damage for each 2D of alter the user has (rounded down: a character with an alter of 5D would cause 2D of damage). A Jedi or Sith can use Absorb/Dissipate Energy to counter Ichor Lightning.
Game Note: A witch who uses this power for any reason immediately gains a Dark Side Point.
Background: Nightsisters who study Ruination spells learn to use Ichor Lightning which was an offensive technique which involved a discharge of electrical energy from the practitioner’s hands and was capable of killing or inflicting severe pain on the target of this attack as well as possible disfigurement or even disintegrating them.
