Effect
As a Bonus Action, you wreathe yourself in a shifting veil of dark-side energy. Until the end of your next turn, attack rolls against you have disadvantage. The veil ends early if you become incapacitated.
At the Table
A Nightsister acolyte, run down to half her HP and pinned by two blaster troopers, burns a Bonus Action and 2 FP to wreathe herself in shifting dark-side energy. For the rest of this round and through her next turn, every shot they line up rolls with disadvantage — the squad's volley scatters into the rocks while she slips back into the mist. Just don't let them stun or knock her prone first: the instant she's incapacitated, the veil drops.
In the Lore
The Nightsisters of Dathomir wove their magicks from the dark-side energies of their homeworld, and concealment was central to their craft — Mother Talzin and her coven famously moved through swirling green spirit-mist and veils of shadow that turned aside both eye and blade. Asajj Ventress, trained in these arts before her time as Dooku's assassin, leaned on misdirection and shrouding as much as on her lightsabers, while Morgan Elsbeth carried the tradition forward as a servant of Talzin. Across The Clone Wars and the wider Nightsister lore, this kind of protective shroud reflects their signature blend of dark-side sorcery and ambush tactics rather than the open, disciplined defense of the Jedi forms. It is a witch's trick: survive the moment, then vanish before the enemy can answer.
