Sith Amulets
CONCENTRATION
The Sith developed talismans of concentration to help them focus during long, elaborate rites, those typically associated with the
tapping of vast amounts of dark side power. The talisman allowed a sorcerer to concentrate all of his will to the creation of the
desired effect, temporarily increasing his ability to manipulate the Force.
Unfortunately, use of such a device often caused the wielder to succumb to exhaustion the moment his Force effect was
completed--a defect that prevented such talismans from becoming commonly used, especially in battle.
ENSNAREMENT
Devices of this nature appear to function exactly as talismans of concentration--especially to a dark side wielder. This particular
version, however, has one added ability: it can immediately turn the wielder to the dark side.
Sith magicians discovered that some Jedi had taken to using Sith talismans to serve the light side. To defeat this unintended and
unwanted use of their devices, the Sith constructed many with the power to instantly lure the unsuspecting Jedi to the dark side.
This secondary function has fulfilled their goal, for the use of Sith artifacts by Jedi Knights has been outlawed ever since.
FORCE MASK
Their use of the Force sends ripples through the galaxy, alerting anyone able to perceive such subtle vibrations to the location and
identity of the Force wielder at the source (the amount of information regarding the emanation point of the ripples is based on the
ability of the individual sensing the disturbance in the Force). The Sith learned quickly that this natural occurence allowed their
movements to be tracked and their ambitions to be foiled by opposing forces, and they created devices called Force masks to hide
such emanations.
The mask essentially sends out anti-Force ripples that cancel the natural "waves" produced by the use of the Force. The area
around the Force-wielder therefore appears dormant, devoid of any type of Force activity.
HEALING
During the Sith revolt led by Naga Sadow, many pureblood Sith devotees created talismans of healing to give their side the
advantage in combat encounters. The devices quicken and increase the power of a corporeal being's natural healing processes at
the expense of the wielder's ability to use the Force.
SHIELD
The Sith shield talisman was one of the first dark side devices discovered and catalogued by the Jedi. The talisman protects its
wearer (it usually takes the form of an amulet, necklace, or torque) from energy (from lightning to pulse-waves to lasers) and
Force attacks. Research suggests that the device works by absorbing the energy directed at it and storing it for use as its own
source of fuel.
To retain its ability to function, however, the talisman requires an infusion of energy at least once per standard week.
TRANSLATION
The tomes containing Sith teachings, lore, and Force techniques were written in the Sith's ancient language, which has all but died
out since the destruction of the species. Very few scholars can decipher the strange language, and even fewer have learned to
pronounce its complex word structures.
This talisman, initially designed and created by the fallen Jedi who sought to learn of the Sith's secret techniques, allows the
wielder to read the Sith language as if it were his own native tongue.
SWORDS OF THE SITH
These alchemically reinforced blades can
withstand any blow. Their indestructible nature
allows them to even parry lightsabers. Such
weapons have survived through thousands of
generations and yet remain in perfect condition,
their edges sharp and their blades straight.
