Article Title/Topic: Dathomirian Magic

General Information Body Paragraph

Dathomirian Magic was divided into two different forms; traditional Allyan magic and its darker counterpart Shadow magic which both followed different schools of thought. Practitioners of Allyan magic followed the moral code and ethical teachings found in the Book of Law, whereas practitioners of Shadow Magic followed the Book of Shadows that told of future glories. Despite these differences, all practitioners of Dathomirian magic thought of themselves as casting actual spells and rituals rather than working with the Force.

History/Background Body Paragraph

Dathomirian magic first began when a Jedi named Allya was exiled to the planet Dathomir, where she eventually taught the power of the Force to her children and boosted their evolution. After some time, a witch by the name of Gathzerion broke off from the traditional practices and founded her own version of magic, called Shadow Magic, as well as the Nightsister group. This caused problems within Dathomir’s witch clans and caused them to separate from one another where those who still followed the original practices called their power Allyan magic. These clans believed that the Nightsisters had corrupted the teaching of Allya.

Additional Information Body Paragraph

Dathomirian magic practitioners, because they did not think of their work as flowing with the Force but as casting magical spells, were often incapable of casting a spell without speaking its incantation, ritual, chant, etc. Over time, it was soon discovered Witches were more adept in certain aspects of the Force than in other areas. For example, some Witches found their magic excelled in areas like healing. Finally, according to the Nightsisters, certain witches (called Shamans) were able to channel the Spirits to formulate a sort of green Spirit-ichor that served as the foundation for most of their magical practices.
