Warning:This pwer gives a Dark Side Point to the user.

Effect:This power allow sa Jedi to draw life energy from those around him and to channel the negative effects of the Dark Side into those victims. As 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. Thsi power draws that life energy from beings, allowing a Jedi to use that energy for his or her own ends.

To draw this energy the Jedi must roll for the power once per day. The power is considered to be up at all times and thus the Jedi suffers appropriate die penalties. The amount of energy drawn depends on the number of individuals affected by the power and the length of time they have beend drained.
