I think "Slow" is still slated for an edit by Soh. But I'd like him to consider making Drain/"Slow" into
Force Light.
I believe its a better alternative to what I think "Slow" is slated to be altered into.

Really good find Alkur, I think this would be a wonderful alteration to the name and properties that we have for Slow right now. Alter the color, and it'll look even better.

Oh yes this seems awesome, I could possibly work on the animation for it if you like

Did someone say .efx editing? I can do this that.

I had Arik in mind when I thought of this. I definitely don't think that it should utilize the "arcs" that lightning and drain use.

Good idea.
But where from are the vampires of us going to leech their life then?

Should Jedi be leeching life? >_>
I think an altered/new animation sounds like a good idea.

Anyway, I suppose the idea is okay, but I see no problem with keeping the name and power that is Force Slow.

Maybe have the lower levels stay as Slow, and change the upper ones to Light? I mean, a Padawan generally wouldn't be unleashing a dazzling golden light from their hands every few seconds in a spar.
EDIT: And while we're on the subject, why not change the effect for Rage to replicate
Oneness? First few levels would be a dull yellow-white recolor of the current effect, and upper ones would be a full-on, bright golden-white body, similar to
this. This would simulate the Wookieepedia's theory of "two kinds of oneness, basic and advanced."

Isn't it possible to add two different colors to drain ? The moral red drain is drain/slow/leeching, while with a simple command you can change the color of the drain making it force light. One power Roleplayed as two.

I know my opinion probably doesn't matter much right now, but I just wanted to commend you guys on the great ideas. This will definitely only help make the RP better. It gives us a wide variety while also keeping it real.
