Editing The Force (section)

===Control===
Control powers focus on controlling the user's body (and the body of others for more skilled users). It's largely buffs.
*<u>Meditation/Trance</u>: More a Jedi thing. Sends the user into a deep sleep that boosts the speed they recover from wounds and fatigue while also using less food and air than normal waking or sleeping. On the downside, it's a really deep sleep, so the user will only be woken by physical stimulus, a code word that terminates the trance is heard or a pre-selected amount of time elapsing. 
*<u>Force Speed</u>: Speeds the user up and/or greatly slows their perception of time. Combined with foresight it allows blocking blaster bolts. Combined with telekinesis it allows the user to make very large leaps.
*<u>Mind Trick</u>: One of the skubbier powers, morally speaking.  Conceptually similar to hypnosis or [[Dune|the voice from Dune]].  The force can be used to overpower the focus of individuals with fairly weak wills, rendering them receptive to suggestion and deceit.  The simpler and less demanding the suggestion, the easier it is to project.  Jedi generally limit their use of this to obfuscation and persuasion (ie "you didn't see anything unusual").  But the extra power of the Dark Side can push this to the point of mental domination, turning people into unwitting puppets even on the battlefield; but this requires both exceptional power and concentration.  Some races have natural mental defenses against force persuasion techniques.
