Description [wiki]: The Jedi can throw lightning from their hands, which can be used to make an attack on a single target on the piercing ring (this is a one-ring attack). The lightning has an offensive bonus on its rings equal to the number of ranks in this force power, thus it starts out as - (:outer-attack) / - (:middle-attack) / +1 (:inner-attack). The throwing lightning counts as a weapon, so you can not use this with another weapon (not even a lightsaber).

===== Notes =====
The throw lightning ability afforded by this force power counts as a weapon. It is not possible to combine this weapon with other weapons. For example, you can still hold an activated lightsaber in your hand, but you can't attack or defend with it while throwing lightning.

So, if you use this in lightsaber combat, this means you give up your defensive advantage of your lightsaber in round //N// as you summon forth the energies necessary to use lightning. Then in round //N+1// you use the lightning to attack with the lightning you charged up the round before, according to the [[jedi_combat#parry mechanism]].
