Bleeding

Canon Linked from 71 articles

Bleeding was the process that a dark side adept used by way of the dark side of the Force to bend a kyber crystal to their will, turning it red. It was possible for some light side users to purify corrupted crystals, which would bring them back to the light side and change their color to white. During the Imperial Era, Ahsoka Tano purified kyber crystals that had been bled to make her white lightsabers.
