Spirit Transference

"Essence transfer is the secret of eternal life. The physical body will always weaken and fail, yet it is nothing but a shell or vessel. When it is time, it is possible to transfer your consciousness—your spirit—into a new vessel…" ―Darth Andeddu

Transfer essence, also known as essence transfer or transfer life, is a radical force power used to transfer a person's consciousness into another body, or in some cases an inanimate object. Ancient Sith Lords and other powerful persons use this technique to cheat death again and again, haunting their tombs and possessing those who stumbled across their sarcophagi in order to continue their reign of terror. In more recent eras, masters of this dark side art had used advanced cloning technology to assure their immortality.

"The ritual is fraught with danger. Attempting it will cause the current vessel to be destroyed; your body will be consumed by the power of the dark side." ―Darth Andeddu

The power enables the wielder's spirit to survive the death of their organic body by usurping control of a suitable receptacle. If the invading consciousness is powerful enough, it can override and expel the mind of the target body. However, the practitioner's own body disintegrates in the attempt. If the target resists the possession attempt, or if the user fails in their attempt to bond with the object, their disembodied spirit, with nowhere else to go, is consigned to Chaos. Given the power's inherent difficulty, its unpredictable nature, and the unspeakable consequences of failure, most would-be practitioners in the modern era chose to have their bodies cloned by trained technicians and kept in a hidden safe-house, unconscious in stasis tanks until they are needed. The clones, lacking life experiences or a sense of self, are each little more than a blank slate, upon which the original can imprint their consciousness with ease.
