Soft to Solid

Soft to Solid was a Matukai Force technique that made normally soft parts of the body become incredibly rigid and rough for a brief amount of time, giving the user a form of natural body armor. Novices would find it difficult to maintain while an adept practitioner could keep up the technique as if it were second nature. Darth Plagueis briefly used this power to defend himself from melee attacks from the crew of the Woebegone after he had decided to kill them all and take the ship as his means of transport.
