"Bring the Water of Life."

―Mother Talzin^[1]

The Water of Life was a green liquid used by the Nightsisters of Dathomir to heal. Its ingredients included water,^[1] flesh extracted from the Sleeper,^[2] minerals, and tree sap.^[3] Brewing the concoction was a rite of passage for a Nightsister. A Nightsister would use her Force abilities to awaken the Sleeper, dominate it, and force it to remove a piece of its body. The body part would be boiled with water from the deep pools of the Nightsister fortress and the other ingredients would be added.^[2] In 20 BBY,^[4] a group of Nightsisters headed by Mother Talzin baptized Asajj Ventress into an official Nightsister.^[1]

This potion could be consumed to instead provide a brief increase to the Nightsister's power in the Force, especially for purposes of conjuring items or raising zombies. It also could be used to resurrect the recently slain and mend a wound suffered by the revived individual.^[5]
