This power may be kept “up “

Warning: Any Jedi who uses this power gains a Dark Side Point.

Effect: This power allows a Jedi to draw life energy from those around him and to channel the negative effects of the Dark Side into those victims. All living things are a part of and contribute to the Force; even those with no awareness of the Force are affected by and are a part of it. Many beings go through their daily lives wasting much of their life energy. This power draws that life energy from beings, allowing a Jedi to use that energy to further his or her own ends. In order to draw this energy, the Jedi must roll for this power once per day; this power is considered “up” at all times, and thus the Jedi suffers appropriate die penalties. The amount of energy the Jedi draws depends on the number of individuals affected by the power and how long they have been drained.
