Mind Shard or a mind twist was a Force power that allowed a Force-user to mentally splinter an opponent's mind, wracking the victim with pain. This might cause an opponent to lose their focus on a Force power and cause it to dissipate. Jedi Master Durron used a psychic blast to stagger other Jedi on Hapes during the Yuuzhan Vong War.

Darth Bane wrote that this was a helpful power for a Sith to learn.
