Alter was a group ofForce powers in the teachings of theJedi Order. Regarded as an advanced form of usingthe Force, it was taught toJedi Knights after they had learned the fundamentals ofControl asJedi Initiates andSense asPadawans. The Alter discipline involved manipulating objects, influencing other beings, and affecting the environment. Many non-trainedForce-sensitives stumbled upon such abilities accidentally, which usually resulted in disastrous events. TheJedi described not progressing to the Alter discipline as being able to perceive the Force but not manipulate it.^[2]
