WHITE CURRENT

The White Current is an interpretation of the Force primarily understood by the Fallanassi. It allowed the user to perceive the Force as white ribbons of light and exercise a greater level of control over their direction of the Force.

Description

Notably, the White Current was an aspect of the Cosmic Force which existed within all life and bound the universe together. The Fallanassi believed that using the White Current manipulated the tapestry of life and therefore took a stance of non-aggression, refusing to use its power to fight. They instead created powerful barriers and illusions with their powers, with their ultimate technique taking the form of a projection that could be sent anywhere in the galaxy, at great taxation to its user.

However, the White Current's power extends far beyond the meager use of barriers and illusions. Though undesirable to the Fallanasi, those who learn to use this aspect of the Force can also direct it to control nature. The White Current can be channeled, for instance, into the sky to quicken the formation of storms and natural lightning, and even direct that lightning's strikes. It can also be turned into friction to generate fire. Some strong enough with it can direct the Current to heal grievous wounds.

Most notably, the White Current can actually be used to forge a Force bond between two Force-sensitive beings. Such a ritual is not to be undergone lightly, as the bond can only be quieted—never severed—and completely joins the bondee's emotions to one another, allowing them a better sense of what the other is feeling no matter the distance between them (owing to the Cosmic Force's ability to transcend space and time).


Drawbacks

Common in all its expressions, though, the White Current seems to be extremely taxing to those who tap into its power. While it can allow for stronger, more focused expressions of the Force than, say, what an average Jedi is taught to express, by bypassing the Living Force and tapping directly into the Cosmic Force, prolonged use of the White Current considerably drains ones stamina. Prolonged use in battle can leave the user winded for hours, if not days, depending on the extent of use.

Healing this way is particularly taxing, since healing any wound with the Current forces the healer to take on a measure of the pain they are seeking to relieve from their target. Fallanasi scholars believe this is because the user of the White Current is touching directly a wound in their target's life force.

The exhaustion brought upon by the White Current can somewhat be mitigated by having multiple users synchronize or 'link' with one another to share their vitality and strength in a technique similar to Battle Meditation, but linking requires a degree of existing compatibility, such as camaraderie, friendship, or an teacher-student relationship.



Intent

To expand on an old Legends concept that has been hinted at in canon, but not much else.

Approved.

With the note that I will monitor its usage in RP for potential nonsense.
