Syntax: form/saberform <0 - 7>

Select one of your learned lightsaber forms to use in combat. These skills
currently provide no mechanical or stat advantage other than changing the
combat messages for your attacks and parries while using a lightsaber. Using
this command while out of combat will show your character assuming a form
specific ready/guard stance, eg:

saberform 3
You pull your saber back in a one-handed grip, extending your free hand
outwards.

The seven lightsaber forms are as follows:
Form I - Shii-Cho: The original lightsaber form. Direct, simplistic, effective.
Form II - Makashi: The dueling-centric form. Feints, wrist-flicks, precise.
Form III - Soresu: The defensive form. Precise deflections and tight control.
Form IV - Ataru: The offensive form. Aggressive, acrobatic, showy.
Form V - Shien: The Perseverance form. Solid blocks, powerful counters.
Form VI - Niman: The balanced form. Creative, incorporates the Force.
Form VII - Vaapad: The ferocity form. Vicious jabs, thrusts, wild counters.

*Each player can learn a maximum of TWO lightsaber forms. Choose wisely!
*Some lightsaber forms display entirely different output depending on
things like the size of your character. (Judge them by their size, do not!)
*Form VI/Niman is only learnable by consular/sorcerer-class characters.
*Form VII/Vaapad is very, very rare.
*All of the forms (with the exception of Form VII) are teachable,
allowing you to pass knowledge on to a Padawan or fellow forcer.
