Spirit ichor was the base for all magic employed by the Nightsisters of Dathomir during the Clone Wars. According to Mother Talzin, it came from channeling the Winged Goddess and manifested as green smoke.
Spirit ichor could be manipulated in a large variety of ways by a shaman, primarily using it as a medium to access the Force. A powerful enough shaman could manipulate spirit ichor into physical objects, as demonstrated by Mother Talzin during the Clone Wars, who created a goblet of blackroot for Count Dooku when he visited Dathomir. Mother Talzin was also seen later to fashion a cybernetic lower half for her son, Darth Maul, as well as conjure a sword wreathed in glowing green mist in order to combat Jedi Master Mace Windu, her blade being able to easily counter Windu's own lightsaber. Spirit ichor could also be used for divination, mesmerism, totem magic, inducing trancelike states, temporarily reanimating the dead, producing the Water of Life for healing purposes, projecting lightning and energy barriers and other uses.
As Mother Talzin did for Asajj Ventress, Naa'leth, and Karis, spirit ichor could be manipulated to produce a mist that allowed assassins to operate "midway" between the physical and spirit realms, cloaking them with near-invisibility. Savage Opress was also transformed into an avatar of primal anger by Talzin and a coven of spellcasters via spirit ichor, granted him an enhanced physicality as well as an advanced connection with and ability to use the Force that allowed him to contend with experienced Jedi such as Anakin Skywalker Obi-Wan Kenobi as well as Sith such as Count Dooku and even Darth Sidious for a time.
Mother Talzin and her coven of dark crafters use spirit ichor to transform Savage Opress.
