The Force has a range of powers that function in accordance to fundamental aspects that are cardinal in nature and categorized by the way in which a user is able to focus on the Force while using an ability. These aspects of the Force have been divided into three distinct classifications: Control, Sense, and Alter. Force abilities are each aligned to one of these aspects and, according to the ease or difficulty of mastery by the user, require varying degrees of concentration and/or training to perform.
