"A rare few have a natural affinity for the dark side itself. They can delve into the depths of the Force and summon arcane energies to twist and warp the world around them. They can invoke ancient rituals of the Sith; they can invoke power and unleash terrible spells and dark magics." ~Darth Bane
Sith Sorcery was a power used by the early Sith, that complimented the use of conventional dark side-aligned Force powers.
The exact qualities of Sith magic were disputed, as were its exact relations to the Force or conventional "magic". Some practices of Sith magic also delved into Sith alchemy, which was a different aspect entirely.
Most in-depth knowledge of sorcery has either been lost or forgotten throughout the ages. In fact, it hardly mentioned in many of the tomes and scrolls available. As such, Lord Recrus has currently begun work to rediscover the lost teachings of this art, and make them available to the sith of his order.
His efforts have been rewarded with small finds, and the spells currently available to sorcerers are:
Force blast: Force blast was a concentrated blast of pure dark side energy projected at objects or opponents, that sometimes caused flesh burns, but caused the caster no pain.
Illusion casting: Illusions were lifelike, astral projections, of whatever the conjurer desired. The illusions touched all of an individual's sensory perceptions, and only through concentration on the Force was an individual able to perceive them as being false.
Summon fear: Summoning an individual's fear caused the victim to experience their worst fears to the point of hysteria. It is a very powerful ability, and the duration and intensity vary depending on the caster.
Summon darkness: Summoning darkness created visible, palpable waves of literal darkness, accompanied by a loud roaring sound.
Research into Sith Sorcery and Sith Alchemy is still ongoing, but new finds will be few until more Sith are willing to both practice and research this art.
