"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural."
¯Palpatine
Dark side powers were used to harm, debilitate, or kill. Some like Rage or Drain were used to benefit the user personally, akin to powers of the light side, with the difference that these were used at the expense of his or her own health or an other individual's Force reserve. It was believed that the powers themselves were not inherently evil, but rather reflected the alignment of the force-user Jed/Sith. These powers were often labeled as "evil" due to their common usage or because of the people who used them. Some of these powers could be used for good, just as some powers traditionally considered light can be used for malevolent purposes. Force powers became evil only when used for personal gain, or to impede another; however, continuous use of dark powers was shown to have a corrupting effect on the Force-user, regardless of intent, due to the body being unable to handle such power for long periods of time.
Special note on UNTRAINED Dark Side powers: Through the Act of Evil a Dark-Side power can be acquired freely, however, acquiring 3 or more in this manner will drop the character to the Dark Side. Too many evil acts can also aid in this acceleration towards the Dark. Some untrained powers; Force Wound, Force Scream, Force Rage, and Drain Energy
==========================================
Force Rage
Force Rage was a dark side Force ability. The Force user would tap into his or her innermost fears and hate, converting them into intense anger. The user would then channel the anger to increase his or her own speed, strength, and ferocity.

Drain Energy
Allows the Force-user to draw energy out of power-packs, e-cells, and similar power sources. Allowing it to harmlessly dissipate. This effectively renders electronics and powered weaponry useless until the source of power is replaced. It also shuts down items using other power sources(such as anergy from generators).
Force Wound
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Wound
(Requires Telekinesis)
Force Grip
Force Grip, sometimes called The Grip, was a technique by which a user of the Force used telekinesis to forcefully crush parts of a target victim's body, killing them or rendering them unconscious.
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Grip
(Requires Force Wound)
Force Choke
Force Choke was an early level of the infamous Force Grip ability. Like Grip, it was used to telekinetically 'grip' one or more of the target's internal organs and apply pressure. However the target was not lifted or moved about. The area affected was typically the target's neck. It caused immobilization and choking, which with prolonged focus, could lead to death.
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Choke
(Requires Training, Force Wound, and Force Grip since it is a variant of Force Grip.)
Force Crush
This deadly ability lifted the opponent into the air, and as he/she was floating, his/her body literally imploded as it was crushed from within by the Force.
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Crush
(Requires training, Force Wound, and Force Grip.)
Force Drain
Force Drain, or sometimes Drain Life, is the dark side equivalent of Force Healing, the difference being that the user drained the target's Force and life reserves to fuel the regenerative process.
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Drain
(Requires Training)
Death Field
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Field
(Requires Training and Force Drain)
Enshroud
This allows the user to summon darkness about themselves. It obscures all sight even artificial this inky blackness affects around a five meter radius about the Force user. It drains the user slowly and requires concentration to maintain.
(Requires training)
Dark Side Web
This powerful attack summons forth strands of Dark Side energy that wrap around the target; ensnaring them in a brilliant mesh. This lattice work of energy saps the Force from the victim along with their bodies physical strength.
(Requires training, Drain Energy and Enshroud)
Force Scream
This outburst of sheer power is often used unaware by Darksiders who lose control of their emotions. It if powerful enough; creates ripples in the Force. These 'ripples' can turn into waves of pure negative energy - waves of concentrated hatred amplified and charged full of Dark Side force capable of smashing its way through mental and physical defenses. It is a devastating power that not only brings harm to enemies of the one who activated it but also causing it to themselves. It's radius of effect depends on the power of the Dark-sider the most powerful noted one having been at a range of 50 meters.
starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Scream
Bolt of Hatred
This Force powers allows the user to create in their hand a radiant sphere of pure solidified hatred covered in tendrils of colored energy. This 'bolt' of hate fires off slower then a blasters discharge but the stronger the Dark Side of the user the more powerful the 'bolt' if it hits the target it has two effects one being it can either stun the victim or out-right harm them to even possibly killing them depending on the Darksiders power.
(requires training and Force Hatred)
(More will be added, had an emergency and didn't get to put everything down. Will finish it up ASAP.)
