Accidental video; un: darth imperius

CW: Talk of potential death.

[In a memory, Talwyn has bested Darth Thanton in combat within the Dark Council chamber. The young Sith approaches his nemesis, his ancestor's lightsaber in hand, for this was right before he finally built one of his own.

Before he can strike Thanton down, a power surges through him, intense and uncontrollable. Voices speak to him. The voices belong to the ghosts he has taken into his body, whose power he has added to his own. His head is swimming and his body jerks.

Force lightning gathers in a maelstrom, Talwyn losing his grip on his powers. It's all too much for him. Thanton is blown back as Talwyn unleashes a wave of lightning. When it ends, Thanton is gone, and Talwyn collapses.

He knows the truth now. He took too many ghosts into himself. He's dying.

The video ends there, after he passes out.]

Er... that's not my best moment.

Ghosts also weren't exactly a common thing in my universe.

[distant_one]

They weren't in mine, either. It's better that way.

[drawsghosts]

In my world, ghosts are Force users who didn't become one with the Force upon death.

[distant_one]

That's your dimensions word for the flow of life energy?

[drawsghosts]

Something like that. It's the energy that binds the galaxy together, and flows through every living thing.

[distant_one]

I'm not an expert, but that sounds very similar.

[drawsghosts]

There are also those like me who are born sensitive to it, and can thus use the Force to perform extraordinary feats.

[distant_one]

There seem to be a few of you here.

It'll be interesting to see how well our definitions of extraordinary feats line up over time.

[drawsghosts]

Yes, I've met some of them.

Would you count being able to emit lightning from your hands extraordinary?

[distant_one]

Is that not common to your species?

If you're not like lightning spiders or living electric clouds, then yes.

[drawsghosts]

Most of my race are Force sensitive and trained as professional Sith, and therefor have the ability to learn to use Force lightning. But it takes lots of training and skill to be able to do it.

[distant_one]

A fight between two Sith using lightning must be something to see.

[drawsghosts]

You have no idea.
