Dark side tendrils

Dark side tendrils were pure manifestations of malevolent Force energy summoned though Sith magic. These tendrils rose in the form of black mist from the ground and took the form of serpentine tentacles which swarmed their victim and attacked with the power of the dark side. From the hand of an inexperienced wielder the tendrils simply caused immeasurable pain upon contact and eventually rendered the victim unconscious. When conjured by a seasoned Sith sorcerer, however, dark side tendrils were able to induce instant necrosis upon whichever part of the body they came into contact with, as well as subject the individual to the full scope of the void of the dark side. Sith sorceress Darth Zannah summoned dark side tendrils against her Master Darth Bane while they dueled each other on Ambria in 980 BBY. Nearly a thousand years later, dejected Jedi trainee Kyp Durron invoked the power of dark side tendrils with the help of the ghost of Dark Lord of the Sith Exar Kun against his Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
