That's an interesting idea. I could also see requiring the power and spending Force Points as a part of the "transferal procedure."

Unless, ya know, you're pouring your own (or someone else's) life into it. Though I think that's getting into dark side artifacts.


I wonder to what extent holocrons contain the life of a deceased Jedi.

Adventure idea: "Bad guys have to gather the holocrons of this deceased Sith to resurrect him."

And I think that it can also affect the kind of ongoing effects that the object can have, not just the immediate use of the item.

Agreed. The idea of a seemingly innocuous item insidiously corrupting its wielder over time is also straight out of Tolkien, and just as appropriate.

Unfortunately it was years ago and I think I lost the mechanics I had written out for it.

If you ever do come across those rules, please post them here; that sounds awesome.

One more mundane thought I had would be for a non-Jedi Force using tradition to have some sort of power focus, like a wand, gauntlet, ring, etc, that doesn't corrupt him, but does provide a bonus to Force powers when the object is used.

Well, Sith Spirits are a thing, but they do appear to need to be anchored to some sort of object, like their tomb or some such. A Sith Spirit could potentially be using a Sith Holocron as an anchor, and pretending to be a simple "guardian personality" to those who use the Holocron.
