Cryokinesis
Known applications · Limitations and drawbacks · Learning · Intent
Cryokinesis was a Force power that allowed a Force-user to draw heat away from organic and inorganic objects, causing the temperature to drop rapidly. Heat energy that is drained from the victim cannot be used to transfer to the practitioner or any other source. The practice allows the user, depending on the Force User's strength in the Force, the ability to cool objects to more devastating offenses such as freezing beings or creating large blasts of ice and snow. Cyrokinesis is not limited to one side of the Force or another, but it is should be exercised with more caution due to its potentially damaging effects.

▵Known applications
The application of Cryokinesis is rarely seen still in practice with users of the Light and Dark Side of the Force. The ability to cool and freeze takes time, commitment and practice in order to fully master in its more deleterious effects on individuals and objects alike. Practitioners first learning the ability must be cautious in their practice to not receive adverse effects on themselves by cooling their own body too quickly and causing hyperthermia or frost bite in addition to common overexertion when first experimenting with the limits of one's own physical abilities. However, the success of accomplish such feat in power just shows the limitlessness of the Force.
Undisciplined learners of cyrokinesis may start off by cooling their target; they may also be able to develop frost on their own finger tips or on objects to their touch. Further practice will lead to rapid cooling and eventual freezing, which can damage organic targets if left exposed for too long. Novice users may find ease in cooling and freezing with areas of high moisture and more temperate environments as compared to dryer, warmer climates.
As the users grow more experienced, the versatility of cryokinesis shines through. Master practitioners are able to generate ice crystals in any environment, arid or moist, with little exertion. Stalagmites of ice (though prone to easy breakage depending on their thickness) can be deadly to those who fall in range of the attack and walls of ice can be formed to create temporary protection of incoming projectiles. Practitioners also may welcome opponents with blasts of frost, snow, or ice, overwhelming those who are unprepared for the drastic temperature change and environment. Their abilities can also encompass large areas and multiple individuals as compared to novice users. Cryokinesis on a larger scale can manipulate the environment such as turning raindrops into sleet or snowfall.
Exceptionally few of the most power Force Users in the galaxy are only limited to their imaginations. They are able to generate icing over large areas, freezing lands and causing cataclysms and turmoil in environments foreign to the concept of cooler climates. Blizzards of ice and snow may canvas villages, cities and armies who are caught in the devastation and large scale freezing of oceans and lands can send planets into ice ages to last decades.
▵Limitations and drawbacks
A powerful tool to have at one's disposal, it can also be dangerous. Its practitioners may experience adverse effects on themselves by cooling their own body too quickly which could lead to hyperthermia and frost bite within minutes. Padawan and Knight level Force Users may require additional training and concentration in the field in order to render more debilitating affects on individuals and their environment. Even Masters are prone to their own arrogance and can find themselves caught in their own offenses if they are not vigilant about their environment.
Some force users are more adapt to using cyrokinesis in passive and defensive maneuvers such as cooling burns or causing obstacles in one's environment to slow down opponents. Though, with the corrupting nature of the dark side, the application may be applied to more horrendous and catastrophic effects to prove their power to others.
Those on the receiving end of the Force power, more specifically other Force Users, can counter by drawing warmth to their own bodies or counter by distraction to break focus or concentration. Those who are not attuned to the Force may be better off seeking distance from Force Sensitive opponents or counter with distractions that could cause severe consequences of the practitioner if they do not protect themselves.
▵Learning
Generic and basic applications of cooling do not require much training. However, those looking to cause a more impactful effect on others and their environment must dedicate time and have discipline in order to use the ability to its full potential. Those looking for a more fulfilling, yet darker applications must look to outside sources such as a teacher or text in order to achieve this.
▵Intent
The purpose is to add more material to a vague non-canon ability that can be just as useful as those seeking to use pyrokinesis. Level 2+ required to begin learning and using cryokinesis consciously and effectively
