Although the stern look on Koran's face did not show it, he was quite pleased with Jameth's question. Apparently the boy was patient enough to refine his Force Ablities before wanting to rush into the next part of the training. That was a very good sign indeed.
"You seem to be wiser than I first anticipated, acolyte," he said. "What you speak of is a technique usually referred to as: Force Absorb. A power which is quite useful when you fight against another Force User, but absolutely useless against other opponents, but that speaks for itself.
"We shall practice this power right away, because you - as a Warrior of the Dark Side - are ought to know it. I had planned to teach it later on, but we could as well do it now," Koran went on. "We will do it in the following way: I will unleash a blast of Force Energy upon you and you must absorb the energy. We will repeat this and each time I will unleash more powerful blasts, ending with lethal blasts that could kill if not absorbed."
Already he began to gather Force Energy for the first blast, but of course he would not unleash it until he had explained how to Absorb in detail.
"Close your eyes, acolyte Jameth, and return to the void where you first awakened to the Force. Remember the warmth you felt on your skin and how it allowed you to move again. Call upon this warmth and as you let it course throughout your body, you must let it create a layer of Force Energy on your skin. This layer of energy will Absorb Force attacks unleashed upon you and thus protect you against them. For now, just try to maintain the layer of Force Energy. Later on I shall teach you how to reflect the Force attacks back to the attacker."
The Force was now swirling around Koran and his eyes seemed to glow with a faint blue hue of Force Energy. He said: "Tell me when you are ready and we shall begin. If you have questions, ask ahead."
