Force detection allows the user to detect the force abilities of players around them. In order to check for force sensitivity the force user must be at the same location as the test subject. They find the process through the room actions menu. Select a candidate and whether you want them to be informed of the result. If you choose to inform them on result of the test, if they are found force sensitive then it will be enabled to the subject and allow them to start their progression towards using the force. You may also opt to not inform them of the result, in which case only the tester knows the result. The test will then proceed and will take one hour.

==Universal==

'''User is not Force Sensitive:'''

''All Universal skills are currently considered Neutral Skills.''

====[[File:Skillnimp.gif]] Meditation====

'''Unknown result:'''

Meditation allows the user to increase their rate of force point regeneration. This can be used both passively and actively. Passively, the amount of points recovered increases as they go about their business. if they actively choose to meditate then they will be unable to move or act but they recover additional force points every two hours.

''Withdrawing from your immersion, you shake your head to clear the cloudiness that obscured your attempt to test <Player>'s sensitivity to the Force, and resolve to try again, this time with more focus.''

Note that this result does not confirm or deny that the player is force sensitive and you will need to try again in order to fully work out whether they are or not.

Force detection allows the user to detect the force abilities of players around them. The force user must be in the same location as the tester in order to take the test. They will be given the option to reveal the result to the subject. They will proceed to test the subject and will either find out if the target is or is not force sensitive. They may also need to retake the test occasionally. If they reveal the outcome to the target then they will be made aware of being force attuned and allow them to start learning and developing their own force skills.

Lightsabres can be constructed for a force user to wield. In order to construct a lightsabre they will need all the right resources and plenty of time they can be undisturbed.
