Boli, I know this is basically the foundation of your character Khavaal, but after a moderately long process of discussion and a majority vote, I regret to inform that Mancery as it stands now, is no longer accepted into the SWRP universe. We have decided that because of the inherit abilities that the Hidden Art allows users to perform (which defy everything we know about the Force) that it is essentially magic, and cannot be a part of our Force. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, and you cannot create fire, water, ice, etc. etc. out of thin air.
Now, everyone will start yammering about Force Lightning, but you must understand that shooting out fire from one's hand, and Force Lightning are extremely different. First off, what is commonly called Force Lightning is just a manifestation of dark Force energy, and while using this power, one is essentially transferring energy in a violent fashion to harm one's opponent. When expending this manifestation of dark energy, one is diminishing oneself, as we see this result in the deterioration of the body, take Palpatine for example.
Creating fire through the Force out of thin air is completely different, you're doing just that, creating something, not expending your own energy out in a form of dark energy. Fire is created in real life through friction or extreme heat set to a fuel source, if one creates fire through the Force, they are defying science, as friction isn't even being used, and there is no physical fuel, which is essential to a flame. The same goes for creating ice or water, these are physical properties and elements that cannot just be formed out of nowhere. "Matter cannot be created or destroyed."
Boli, if you can reform or revise the powers of Mancery, then you may submit them to any of the staff, and we will review them as a whole, and make a decision. Just take into account, that any of the current powers pertaining to the use of elements and the like, will not be accepted.
