CONDUIT IN THE FORCE
Site Lore
It is rare for one to be so closely attuned to the Force that it becomes difficult to separate the Force and reality. The time that it manifests is difficult to pinpoint, but the connection of young Conduits are generally believed to grow with their connection to the Force. Evidence of Conduits within history is difficult to surmise and often misidentified as mental conditions due to the effects of being a conduit.
Conduits can see visions from the past and future as well as hear the voices of those whose consciousness are within the stream of the Force: typically the deceased who become one with the Force. These manifestations could be felt so strongly that it can be difficult for the Conduit to believe that it is merely a vision.
When one obtains greater control over his powers, a Conduit could share his experiences with others through meditation. This allows for more intuitive understanding of seemingly obtuse visions of the Force. An experienced enough Conduit can even allow another within proximity to enhance their own abilities; with the Conduit's assistance, the Force user could interact with distant objects or people, but such a feat would place great strain on the Conduit and create disturbances in the Force traceable to the Conduit's location. (See Intent section)
Because of their constant inner struggles, Conduits tend to have great difficulty with performing any sort of mental training. Even physical training can be a struggle due to the constant afflictions caused by Force visions and echoes. Despite their deficiencies in both areas, it is actually the Force is the most dangerous enemy to a Conduit, simply due to how tightly connected the Force and the Conduit are.
Intent
This power is designed to provide a unique problem for my character. The drawbacks of this power is intended to never be fully fixable through research and training, which results in the character always being a little unhinged at times. I wanted to have the dynamic of a character who is never really in full control of herself, which seriously limits where the character can go, yet still capable of contributing to a story in a meaningful way.
*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
The use of a Conduit's power to enhance another's Force powers, such as for the mentioned influence of distant objects, is not meant for use in PvP scenarios.
