Consume Essence

This ability acts as the equivalent of Force Rage, except the source of power comes from the opponent as opposed to the user. As such, it depends on the opponent's emotional state as well as their strength in the Force.

Force Essence takes two forms, of which, can only be selected once at the start of a combat encounter. Once chosen, one cannot switch to the other:

Active Usage
- - Concentration, like I described before. This can be proc'd infinitely, so if you found a Tier 0 with no Force Resistance using Dark Rage, you would get +10 every time you used Consume Essence
  - Your skill in the ability decreases the amount of actions it takes for you to refresh your capacity to use it
  - Drains the opponent of their rage when doing so. So, with active usage, you will need to find a way to re-ragebait them. Technically can thus be used as a method of calming people down
  - With active usage, it runs on a timer. In the sense that, if you can actively use it again and choose not to, you will lose your "chain" so to speak
Passive Usage
- - Non concentration based. This cannot be proc'd infinitely, and instead works like Vaapad in the sense you form a link with people that passively feeds you.
  - Unlike active, which gives you the speed instantly, this builds over time.
  - However, it does not drain the opponent of their rage (in the sense that you need to re-ragebait them). Once the link forms, it's permanent unless the combat encounter ends or something contextual happens.
  - Your skill in the ability decreases the amount of time it takes to reach the max state
