Life is different as it's the only Force that doesn't have a way to harm anyone. It mostly functions around plants, healing wounds, and Strengthening the body/mind.

It also has the ability to destroy technology and metal, detecting living things, and breaking down barriers. Directly countering Death in many aspects, and while Death is it's opposite, both are in all living things. People and beings with high amounts of Life are often tough and extremely resilient.

Someone that masters Life is capable of shaping the battlefield in ways that seem opposite to masters of Order, but can also greatly compliment them. They can boost a person to incredible heights of power that would normally be impossible. This could be making them strong enough to lift cars, or tough enough to shrug off bullet wounds, or even so smart that computers have a hard time keeping up. Their skin becomes harder than steel, they can stabilize the dying. Make huge swaths of the ground much harder to traverse, or have their touch break Ghosts or other machines with ease as well as repel Death itself.

Places like Forests and fields have vast quantities of life, as do cities, towns and the wilderness. As they say, "Life is everywhere."

When paired with Order, it becomes Community, the desire to bring about order with those around you. With Knowledge, you have Intuition, the subconscious knowledge that all living beings have. When paired with Change, you have Evolution. The Tendency of living beings to grow and change, though not always for the better. With Death, you have the Circle of Life. Everything that lives must also die so that it can feed the next life that comes and maintain the cycle.
