Effect: Using ancient Sith equipment and arcane formulae, a character with this Force power can alter the molecular composition of living beings, creating Dark Side mutants. All changes made to a being with this power create horrific physical mutations. Altering multiple aspects requires multiple rolls, with each roll taking one minute and granting an additional Dark Side Point. To use this power successfully requires thousands of credits worth of alchemical equipment and raw materials (as well as a subject). Each alteration made inflicts 4D damage against the subject.

Background: Sith alchemy was a dark side technique of the Force that was used by the Sith and notably Darth Sidious when he attempted to enter the World Between Worlds. Sith scientists used Sith alchemy for Project Blackwing, an attempt to create immortality. The project ultimately resulted in a virus that resurrected the dead, and led to a widespread contamination. The reforged helmet of Kylo Ren was strengthened through the use of Sith alchemy.
