Mind-witches were a humanoid vampire-like species who used Force illusions to fool their victims. They had intense psychic abilities that they could augment with unique stone columns. These unique near-Humans possessed potent mental abilities which they would use to probe the minds of other beings and see their desires. Once this was done, they developed a relationship with the individual at which point they developed a psychic link with the person. Through this link, they would create illusory environments which were highly desirable to the individual. This was done with only one purpose in mind: to leach the mental life energies of the person to replenish their own. Though they were usually powerful telepaths, some well skilled mind-witches also developed telekinetic powers.
