In this section I would like to tell you some details on the Dark Side Powers. Dark Side powers are used for harming others and focus on destruction. They are very effective, dangerous, or often mortal Force Powers. The listed Force Powers are mostly offensive powers, which can attack, damage, injure, and sometimes kill the enemy. I wanna give you some examples from several sources, like from the movies, from the Clone Wars cartoon, from the Clone Wars 3D, and from a book. Read the article!

Force lightning

Lightning is maybe the best known Force ability associated with the Dark Side of the Force. Force lightning was a purely energy-based attack used by practitioners of the dark side, especially the Sith. Because of this association, the ability was commonly referred to as Sith lightning. The attack channeled Force energy down the user's limbs, hurling arcing bolts of electricity from the wielder's fingertips or palms, as you could see Atris using Force Lightning against Handmaiden in KotOR2. Force lightning could be executed with either one or two hands. Powerful discharges would branch out into dozens of smaller forks, therefore skilled practitioners could target several foes at once. Darth Vader's secret apprentice used very powerful Force lightning in the game Force Unleashed. It was also used as a form of torture, as it caused not only severe physical damage but also unbearable agony to the victim's emotions and spirit that is why Darth Malak used it on the captured Bastila Shan to break her, and to turn her to the Dark Side in Kotor1. Jorak Uln, the former headmaster of the Sith Academy on Korriban who hid in the Valley of the Dark Lords during the Jedi Civil War, sometimes kidnapped and tortured Sith students. One of his favorite games was testing his captives on Sith philosophy, punishing their failure with Force lightning, often until they were killed. Darth Tyranus used the technique to incapacitate Anakin Skywalker in the Geonosis hangar. He also attempted the technique on Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was able to block it with his lightsaber, and Master Yoda, who managed to reflect and dispel the energy with his bare hands. Dooku also uses Force Lightning in the Clone Wars  cartoon series against Assajj Ventress, and in the 3D film against Anakin Skywalker. Emperor Palpatine also used Force lightning on Luke Skywalker, applying it with a non-killing intensity in order to break Luke to be his apprentice, or to maximize Luke's suffering before his death. Earlier the Emperor used it against Mace Windu in the Revenge of the Sith, but as some powerful light-siders were sometimes able to block the lightning completely with their lightsaber, Mace Windu could also protect himself and even could reflect the lightning back to its source, severely injuring Palpatine himself. Force lightning could also be absorbed and redirected by a Jedi of sufficient skill, Yoda demonstrated this ability by both deflecting and absorbing the dark power during battles with Count Dooku and Emperor Palpatine, using nothing more than his own two hands. There existed an advanced version of Force lightning which may have been used by Revan and the Jedi Exile in the Jedi Civil War. Its destructive potential was legendary, the apocalyptic power was known as Force Storm. The weakest variation of the Lightning is Force Shock which was a Force power that allowed the user to create an energy spark that would track and damage the nearest enemy. The shock could be thrown at an opponent to stun and injure them.

Force Scream

Hurts all enemies within 10 meters in from of the character and deals 3-18 points of damage. Improved Force Scream Same as before but does 5-30 points of damage. Master Force Scream Same as before but does 7-42 points of damage. We could see this when Palpatine jumped out from his desk, screaming in the air. That weird Alien scream-like confused the 4 attacking Jedi masters, maybe that was the reason Papatine could saber them down so easily. Also, we could meet this scream when Jaden Korr went to the Jedi Academy on foot through the forest, and he met some screaming reptiles, they often hurt their prey with a sonic damage, which caused a pain in the prey, and left them confused.

Force Repulse

An extremely powerful telekinetic Force power, similar in function to Force Push, and perhaps even more Force Blow, but on a far larger scale than Force Wave. The user created sharp, visible kinetic ripples in space, which expanded outward rapidly, flinging nearby objects away at high velocity. The power only affected objects a certain distance away from the user, and therefore anyone could avoid its effects by moving closer to the user.

Crush Opposition

It has 6 levels. You must be a Sith Lord. If you use it, your opponent will suffers -1 to -6 to hit and -1 to -6 to will saves after each of your levels.

Fury

Sith Marauder characters gains some temporary level ups to some of their attributes. Improved Fury Requirements: Level 5 Sith Marauder Improved Fury character gains higher level ups to some of their attributes. Master Fury can help Level 9 Sith Marauders to rage and fury so powerful, that nobody can stand against them. They are raging with a weird joy of demolition, and destruction, which we could see when Palpatine were raging with a big happy smile on his face, then a moment later he was snarling full of hatred killing his enemies.
