Introduction
Each of the Clans has a history and power all their own, brought about and manipulated by personal and Clan interests, as well as the forces that have acted upon the Clans. These "Schools," sometimes referred to as "Clan Powers," are secrets jealously guarded by each of the Clan. Those who have mastered the secrets through time and training are given abilities that are generally not mimicked by any other darksider outside of their respective Clan. Those who either leave the Clan, or are expelled from it, are denied those abilities through various rituals that strip the Clan's secrets from these cast out members. Members who only leave their home clan to pursue a position on the Dark Council generally are permitted to retain their clan's esoteric information. Grand Masters, being above Order or Clan affiliations, have such a deep understanding of the Force that no clan's Force Abilities are closed to them.
