DESCRIPTION​

Cryokinesis was a Force power that allowed a Force-user to draw heat away from organic and inorganic objects, causing the temperature to drop rapidly. Heat energy that is drained from the victim cannot be used to transfer to the practitioner or any other source. The practice allows the user, depending on the Force User's strength in the Force, the ability to cool objects to more devastating offenses such as freezing beings or creating large blasts of ice and snow. Cyrokinesis is not limited to one side of the Force or another, but it is should be exercised with more caution due to its potentially damaging effects.

Practitioners are able to generate ice crystals - particularly in moist environments - with little exertion. Stalagmites of ice (though prone to easy breakage depending on their thickness) can be deadly to those who fall in range of the attack and walls of ice can be formed to create temporary protection of incoming projectiles. Practitioners also may welcome opponents with blasts of frost, snow, or ice, overwhelming those who are unprepared for the drastic temperature change and environment. Their abilities can also encompass large areas and multiple individuals as compared to novice users. Cryokinesis on a larger scale can manipulate the environment such as turning raindrops into sleet or snowfall.

A powerful tool to have at one's disposal, it can also be dangerous. Its practitioners may experience adverse effects on themselves by cooling their own body too quickly which could lead to hyperthermia and frost bite within minutes. Members of the Jedi Order are more adapt to using cyrokinesis in passive and defensive maneuvers such as cooling burns or causing obstacles in one's environment to slow down opponents. Though, with the corrupting nature of the dark side, the application may be applied to more horrendous and catastrophic effects to prove their power to others.

Those on the receiving end of the Force power, more specifically other Force Users, can counter by drawing warmth to their own bodies or counter by distraction to break focus or concentration. Those who are not attuned to the Force may be better off seeking distance from Force Sensitive opponents or counter with distractions that could cause severe consequences of the practitioner if they do not protect themselves.
