Invoke spirits



"In the name of my husband and his ancestor FREEDON NADD, I call down the dark side upon these foes!"

- Queen Amanoa, calling upon the power of Freedon Nadd

Invoke spirits was a dark side Force power conjured through Sith magic, that summoned the spirit of a deceased dark-sider, usually to augment the requesting Sith magician with their power.

Description
"May his dark power fill me now!"

- Amanoa

Users of this ability would withdraw deep into the dark side of the Force, giving themselves over fully to it as they were filled with the power of their summoned spirit. The caster then would request to be endowed with the dark power of the spirit, becaming filled with a palpable hatred that overwhelmed anyone in close proximity. Users could also commune with living beings through the dark side, beckoning their power for whatever needs were so desired. The potency of these rituals could be amplified, should the user be in the vicinity of the physical remains of the deceased spirit whose power was solicited.

History
During the last battle of the Beast Wars of Onderon, Queen Amanoa of Iziz exercised this ability against the armies of Beast-Lord Modon Kira. Petitioning both the ancient spirit of the dead Sith Lord Freedon Nadd and the power of her husband, Amanoa enveloped both the Jedi and the Beast Riders of Onderon in waves of dark side energy. Immediately the affected were weighed down by the dark side, experiencing feelings of total confusion and despair. Ulic Qel-Droma and the other Jedi were crushed by great feelings of oppression and fear, fear so strong it swept over them like a rushing black tide. It was not until the arrival of Jedi Master Arca Jeth that the shadow of Nadd's influence was lifted. Through Jeth's battle meditation, the Jedi's resolve was renewed along with the Beast Riders, who eventually overcame the warriors of Iziz. When Master Jeth stormed the hidden Tomb of Freedon Nadd with Jedi and Beast Riders in tow, they found Amanoa there, and drawing fully on the source of her power. But in Arca's presence the darkness could no longer endure; Amanoa's power wained as Freedon Nadd's influence was driven out by the light of the Jedi. In her daughter's arms, the Queen of Onderon joined her evil ancestors in death.
