The Force


As life develops, it surrounds itself with an intangible energy field known as the force. This energy can be tapped and used by certain individuals to manifest great powers. But this is dangerous, because there is a seductive, violent side to the force, that tries to seduce force users to submit to it and invoke its powers for destruction instead of preservation

Examples and References

Limitations

Faith A jedi must never act rashly, and must never be motivated by fear or anger. It is better to react than to act. Healing and advice is better than rash actions. A jedi goes where the force leads him, without trying to wrestle with the universe around him. Harmony is the key.

Failing to uphold this code inevitably leads to corruption. Trying to gain control of the world around you, even to good ends, feeds the streak of dominance in your soul and paves the path for the dark side. And once gone over, there is precious little help; you will slide deeper and deeper into darkness and soon perform unspeakable acts of cruelty and destruction. Only an act of ultimate sacrifice can lead to salvation.

Manifestation The force manifests through the jedi that invokes it. It cannot cause gross changes in physical reality or in other people. Through cooperation, the jedi can extend his powers to affect others, but this is rare and can backfire. Most jedi restrict themselves to relatively simple effects on themselves and their immediate surroundings. To do more would be to risk intervention from the dark side. The exception here is simple telekinesis: jedi can move things about without much danger.

Jedi powers also manifest as Fu schticks.

A jedi can feel it when the force is used, even if this happens far away. Over closer distances, jedi can feel each other's presence even when not using the force. Using the force when among enemies is certainly very dangerous.

Sith, those who use the dark side of the force, ignore most of these restrictions. Instead, they must contend with the dark side itself, which inevitably turns upon the user, first forcing him to be overly destructive, then slowly turns upon itself and destroys the user. This is akin to Echoes, but work on the dark force user's personality more than on physical reality.
