Force drain/Legends



Force Drain, or sometimes Drain Life, is the dark side equivalent of Force Healing, the difference being that the user drained the target's Force and life reserves to fuel the regenerative process. Greater aptitude allowed exceptional drainage speed and the ability to drain multiple people at once. It manifests itself as red lightning.

Darth Malak applied Force Drain upon Jedi captives to heal his wounds during his final confrontation against Revan. Darth Traya was a master of this insidious power and used it to quickly kill her enemies. Darth Nihilus took this ability to such heights that he could feed off entire worlds at a time. Exar Kun took Force Drain to another level by draining the life-force of the whole Massassi species, so that his spirit could remain on Yavin 4 for more than four thousand years.

Emperor Palpatine fed off the inhabitants of his retreat world of Byss collectively with his Dark Side Adepts, although those unfortunate souls were drained slowly, over a long period of time, rather than consuming the whole world at once.
