Book of Dathomir
The sacred book of the Witches of Dathomir, kept in a place known primarily to clan leaders. In stories told of it, the Elders say it is unclear when the book was created though it is known there was once a Book of Allya with a similar purpose, which was filled with knowledge passed down by the Jedi Knight Allya and updated through the ages. In time, the Nightsisters had their own book as well. But with the unification, there is only the Book of Dathomir which olds the power. Clan leaders updated the information regularly, both with knowledge of times past and present, as well as spells in detail of what the spell does, how it is performed and what words must be said. Younglings are sent to the Book when it is their time.

Spell of Element Protection
The caster can use this spell to create a wall of earth, fire, or any other natural element that is already present on the battle field in order to protect herself. The Witch should take into account the possible damage to the ecosystem this spell may potentially cause.
Spell of Fire Creation
Initiate: By concentrating, a witch can generate localized sparks. These sparks are strong enough to start fires with. It has been theorized that these individuals are able to hyper accelerate particles in the air so that these sparks can occur.
Spellweaver: This skill enables the witch to cause fires - from as small as a torch or lantern to as large as the area of effect - to reduce in size and brightness; to become mere coals. Note that this does not affect either fuel consumption or damage caused by the fire. The witch can affect any or all fires in the immediate area. She can alter their intensities with a single gesture while tapping into the Force. The effect lasts until the witch cancels it, all fuel is burned, or the user's will/energy/concentration expires. The witch can also extinguish all flames in the area.
Tide Sense
This skill is used to sense the ebb and flow of the various rivers and other waters that have a high and low tide on Dathomir or other planets. Its helpful in finding the best time to fish, swim, and other activities that have to do with the water. (Essentially, this would be the advanced version of “Spell of Water”)
Warding Spell/ Deflection
Simple hand gesture to deflection incoming objects (such as a blaster bold, person, incoming spells against oneself).
Absorb
Enables the caster to absorb harmful energy such as blaster bolts and Force lightning. This energy must then either be dissipated in some manner; otherwise it becomes harmful to the User, causing injury and, in more severe cases, death.
Alter
Alters flow of energy, fire, water, and other materials around spell caster.
Call Frost/Snow
Calls forth a frost or snow when the season goes too long. This is only used in dire circumstances to give the planets and ground time to rest in-between seasons so it will be fertile and not worn out for the next planting.
Forcing Minds
Controlling of someone else's actions, thoughts, and emotions by invading that person's mind.
Mind Weave
Elder: This skill will allow two persons to interweave their thoughts so they can share experiences and emotions that cannot be communicated in words or actions. This skill is often shared most between those mated and strengthens the bonds of intimacy. While anyone can be mind weaved, the spell caster (who doesn’t have to be one of the weaved people) must be of Master level.
Seer’s Spell
Description: Brings visions of the future.
Spell of Lighting
Casting of this spell causes bolts of electrical energy (lightning)energy to spring from the caster's fingertips, directed against one or a small group of opponents, and to light fires.
Spell of Mind Touch
Mind-speaking to another over distances; Send images or share sight to another over distances.
Spell of Ordering
This skill allows the individual to make sense of apparent chaos. The individual can see such things as pottery shards reformed into a whole pot, shreds of paper formed into a page, scattered parts as a working machine, or specific trails appearing out of overlapping footprints. The individual studies seemingly random elements--broken bits of glass, shreds of paper, intermingled trails, etc. The items to be studied must be tangible--coded flashing lights, garbled speech, or thoughts of any kind cannot be studied. The individual must study the random elements for one round. If the items studied are truly random, no information is gained, but if they were once part of a whole something can be gleaned from them. After the individual has visualized the pattern, he can attempt to reassemble the parts into their original form. The amount of time required and the quality of restoration vary according to the complexity of the pattern. Reassembling a shredded map may be easy; reassembling a broken clock is significantly more difficult; rebuilding a shattered mosaic is extremely difficult. In any case, the individual can make only a reasonable copy of the item.
