 Fallanassi White Current Powers
|
Since shortly after the time of Allya, the Witches of Dathomir have referred to their spells simply as "magic". However, this changed when Gethzerion began to refer to the Nightsisters power as "Shadow Magic", a term fitting to the ominous way the misshapen Witches channeled their sorcery. The term quickly spread to the other clans. Wanting to be as far-removed from the evil Nightsisters as possible, most clans began calling their power "Allyan Magic", for they believed that the Nightsisters had corrupted the beauty of the original magic cast by the fallen Jedi, Allya. These designations have been invented recently by the Witches themselves. Though each group uses different approaches to their castings, the actual power is the same. Though some Dathomir spells are inherently evil, none of the spells cast by the witches have the ill effects of automatically drawing the user to the dark side. If a Witch casts a "gray area" spell in the defense of herself, or in some other appropriate heroic manner, the dark side will not claim her. Likewise, a Nightsister may be able to twist an inherently heroic spell in such a way that it would draw her to the dark side. The most glaring difference between the ways of the Jedi and the teachings of the Witch clans is the way in which each is learned and executed. While the Jedi understand the Force as 3 sections, control, sense, and alter, Dathomiri Witches learn them all as if they are interconnected. Not all women on Dathomir are able to learn these spells, as a Jedi must be Force-sensitive to use Force powers, a Witch wishing to use Dathomir Magic must be Force-sensitive. However, due to generations of specific breeding on Dathomir, more than half of the femal population is, in fact, Force-sensitive. Many men on Dathomir are also Force-sensitive, though none of them are allowed to learn spells as their masters and wives do. While completely against any version of the Book of Law among the Witch Clans, Gethzerion has discovered a way to speed up the learning curve. However, like the Jedi Way, quick and easy power comes with its own inherent dangers.. Though primarily only Nightsisters will elect to teach a student in this fashion, some of the Witches abiding by the Allyan school of magic will be willing to to allow an initiate to learn a spell this way in case of an extreme emergency. People wishing to learn a spell quickly may elect to learn a spell io one hour. The decision to learn this quickly is final, and may not be reversed by any means. The first five times an Initiate attempts to cast a spell learned in an hour is referred to as the "Trial of Fire". The use of the new spell is extremely dangerous, possibley even fatal if the Initiate is not fortunate. Each time the Witch attempts the Trial of Fire, the danger goes down slightly, and it is less likely to backfire on them. It is also possible that, as well as the spell backfiring, the Witch is also drawn into the dark side for attempting to gain such power so quickly. After the Trial of Fire has been attempted five times, the Witch has no difficulty casting the spell. The following is a list of some of the spells listed in the various Books of Law.
