Severing your character from the force, therefore wounding it and creating ripples through it that allow your character to gain strength from killing ----> Experience points & leveling up.

Funny article. One I can think of is "space modulator" in the Looney Toons games that feature Marvin the Martian such as Daffy Ducks Space Missions (why they didn't call the game Duck Dodgers since that's who Daffy is playing is beyond me)for the SNES. A space modulator is just a ray gun that Marvin uses. It stays true to the cartoons in which Marvin calls it that, but its still silly.
