Wait, wait, wait. I'm confused. How is psychometry specifically a necromancy thing? Does it only work on bones?
I ask, because some Force sensitives also have psychometry. I do not, aside from vague emotional vibes/impressions of a person who has used an item a lot. But one of my brother padawans would touch things and get vivid full flashback visions associated with an object.
Necromancy is a series of skills that use and employ thanergy (and less often, thalergy), which is the energy associated with death. Sixth psychometry reads thanergy/thalergy traces in order to get those associations and visions, specifically.
The end result is the same, ultimately. But the technique is different, rooted in the necromancy I know.
Thanergy = death energy, got it. I think. Thalergy is?
So is psychometry something you your consciously control and/or do a ritual to activate, or does it just happen sometimes? For him, practice and training helped make it more controllable, but it was definitely a just happens sometimes thing. He usually wore gloves to cut down on getting flashes.
And it's both, although I don't wear gloves. A stronger energy retention on an object or a person will make the involuntary flashes more likely, but it isn't something that happens to me every time I touch something. Most of the time, I have to do it on purpose.
Well, you see. Back in the far-off age of 1984, a man with a brown hat and a whip stole some imperial remains or some shit, and that made a lot of cultists very mad at him. And they tried to pull his heart from his chest using exactly this technique. And J Law said "hey, that sounds like a cool and normal thing to be teaching my students to do", and then he did.
The hat whip guy went on to have one more adventure that nobody liked and then another one 20 years later that even more people hated.

And I don't know, I'm not very physically adept.

Most people aren't until they get some practice at it. I can whip you into shape.

It's not going to work. People have tried. I'm a lost cause.
no subject
That's fucking cool.
Yeah there's not a whole lot of hope if you aren't interested in trying. Just try not to get your ass kicked out there.

Something like that. My specialty is psychometry.
I'll do my best. As a perk of necromancy, I could make someone's heart explode if I really wanted to.

Thalergy is life energy.
And it's both, although I don't wear gloves. A stronger energy retention on an object or a person will make the involuntary flashes more likely, but it isn't something that happens to me every time I touch something. Most of the time, I have to do it on purpose.

I wonder how exactly thalergy and what Jedi call the Living Force match up.

It's just a pussy move if you're not willing to go into their ribcage and grab it yourself.

Especially not on J Law's suggestion.

It’s important.

You gotta respect people who just want to vibe, dude.

At least I'm not calling him PMS, bitch.

I mean, I am a bitch, call it like you see it, but damn, dude.
Oh my god, wait.
No, it's short for PalaMedes. Holy shit.

mysterious? For lack of a better term.
I don't recommend ripping hearts out of ribcages either, for what it's worth.

You can learn to make a heart explode, go ahead.

I’m sure I’ll figure it out.

It's actually kind of badass in it's own right.
It comes full circle.
