The Applications
Mind Shard is the ability to twist a user's mind; splintering it and causing the user to undergo extreme bouts of pain. The pain is mostly associated with the mind, and brain, but can affect other body functions.
Sometimes the user can experience bouts of nausea and disorientation, potentially adding to the infused pain they are undergoing.

Strengths and Weaknesses
The strength of the ability, outside of inflicting pain and disrupting mental thinking, is to drop mental fortitude upon the user; allowing them to be open to more persuasive intentions. It doesn't fully break the user's will, but it can force them to accept suggestions they otherwise would not; in favour of alleviating the pain their mind and body are subjected to.
The weakness, or defense, to this ability is the strength of will. A powerful willed person can almost negate the applications of the mental attack; however they will feel a sort of disorientation and nausea though not full bloom as if they were weak of will.
Also, those in possession of a strong mind, such as educated or mentally trained, can almost resist this ability as well; though they too will experience a nagging discomfort throbbing in their mind. Certain species who have a natural immunity to mental attacks can outright repel this ability.

Gripping The Knowledge
The ability to learn this power is a basic one, however as one grows stronger in the Force they can inflict stronger versions of pain and ruining minds; lasting longer than previous levels of their Force knowledge.
In truth, those of lesser levels are required to use more energy and their own mental fortitude to work, while higher levels require less. Now as those that use this ability have grown deeper in the Force (level), they can break down stronger wills, but at a cost of their own mental energy.
To use this ability, it requires heavy concentration, or focus, by the user since they are dealing with another's mind. Distractions need to be fully blocked out, with the user's own mind linked to that of their target. Any disruptions during the process can diffuse the ability's attempt to succeed. This ability can't not be reasonably used during combat, since many distractions occur and the user's own mind will be elsewhere rather than linked to the target.
When the two minds are linked, the ability can quickly begin it's process, but the strength of the ability still resides with the user's own command of the Darkside of the Force.

Intent
The intent is to add a power for those that focus on the mental domination. It allows them to have a starting foundation to begin ripping and tearing minds apart, where they are more comfortable in expressing this than say lightsaber combat or forms of the Force.
