The Sith Amulet is a source of great power. For ages, the Sith Amulet has been a source of protection and power for many. Records of the use and construction of Sith Amulets go back one thousand millennia, and in most cases they were only possessed by powerful Sith Lords and those who knew how to properly wield or create one. (Which weren't very many.) Sith Amulets were constructed for a variety of purposes by Sith Alchemists. Each amulet had a specific purpose, and some were even made to trap and lure Light Jedi to the Dark Side of the Force. Sith Amulets greatly enhanced the force capabilities of the wielder by a variety of ways, but the most common being drawing upon his/her inner strength, resulting in potent devices indeed. One common type of talisman that was consructed by Sith Alchemists was an amulet of concentration. These devices assisted the user in focusing his or her concentration more easily to achieve a desired effect, and allowing them to tap into greater amounts of Dark Side energies. This proved very helpful during long and involved processes and rituals, and is a very helpful tool even in creating other talismans. This type of talisman has a major drawback indeed; the user will suffer from complete exhaustion immediately after the desired effect is achieved, which makes this device impracticle during battles. Another effect of some Sith Talismans is called ensnarement. To a Dark Sider these amulets function the exact same way as a concentration device, but to a Light Sider its a whole different story. Sith Magicians had taken notice to some Jedi using Sith Talismans to serve the Light Side of the Force, and to counter this undesired misuse of their devices, they devised a way to charge the amulets with manu designed to instantly lure a Light Sider to the Dark Side of the force upon wielding the object. This became an effective deterrent for misuse of their devices, and Sith Talismans were soon outlawed for use by Light Sidersever since. Another type of Sith Amulet, even though usage of these devices has become increasingly less and less, is that of healing. Created during the days of Naga Shadows Sith revolt, pureblood Sith devotees who hoped to bring an advantage to their side of the battlefield. Even though these talismans drastically increase a being's natural healing process, the cost of such intercention is great indeed. Use of these talismans weekens the users ability to use the Force. Sith Magicians quickly discovered that any type of use of the Force
could easily be detected by others. When the Forces energies are tapped
into by a Jedi, subtle ripples in the Force are sent out naturally by the
user and can be sensed by others
Perhaps one of the most "basic" and widely used of Sith devices, the Shield Talisman protects its wielder from energy and Force attacks. The commonly accepted theory about the method in which this device works is that it absorbs and traps the energies directed at it and stores it for it's own source of energy. An infusion of energy must be applied to the talisman at least once per standard week for it to retain its ability to work. Various other uses for Sith Talsimans have been documented and catalogued by the Jedi, but their descriptions are too lengthy to be placed here |
