Effect
As an Action, you become a vessel for the light side and loose its radiance against the dark. Choose a point within 30 ft. Every dark-side creature within 15 ft of it takes 4d8 Force damage (light-side and unaligned creatures are unharmed), and you may immediately end one active dark-side or Nightsister Magick effect of your choice in the area. Against a being sunk deep in the dark side, the GM may also impose disadvantage on its next attack as the light sears at its connection.
At the Table
The party is pinned in a Dathomiri cave as a Nightsister's ichor-fueled shroud chokes the air. The level-10 Consular spends 4 FP and an Action, naming a point 30 ft downrange amid the witches: every dark-side creature within the 15 ft radius eats 4d8 Force damage while the Jedi standing beside them is untouched. Better yet, she snuffs the shroud outright — ending that Nightsister Magick effect on the spot — and because the coven's matron is sunk deep in the dark, the GM rules her next attack comes at disadvantage as the radiance sears her connection.
In the Lore
Force Light is a classic light-side technique from Legends, most associated with the Jedi Order's struggle against Sith spirits and dark-side taint. It was famously wielded by Jedi Masters such as Nomi Sunrider, who used it during the Great Sith War to sever Ulic Qel-Droma from the Force, and it appears across the Tales of the Jedi and later Expanded Universe works as a counter to Sith sorcery and the dark side's lingering corruption. Doctrinally it sits in the Control and Alter disciplines as an expression of the Jedi's role as guardians against the dark, channeling the light side itself as a cleansing weapon that harms only those who have given themselves to darkness. Within the SWURPG setting it is fittingly potent against Nightsister Magick, mirroring the long canon and Legends opposition between the Jedi's light and the dark sorceries of Dathomir.
