Force-sensitive

In the context of fictional universes (particularly Star Wars), "force-sensitive" describes an individual capable of utilizing the Force, a mystical energy field that binds all living things. This ability manifests as various powers, including telekinesis, precognition, enhanced reflexes, and mind control, as well as a connection to the universe. The degree of sensitivity varies greatly; some individuals are powerful Jedi or Sith, while others possess only minor abilities, or just latent awareness of the Force. Training and discipline can often enhance these capabilities.
