>>Is Heart link supposed to be removable by the person who had been cast on? An empath cast heart link on my character to help keep him from dying. When I woke up, for some reason I typed release heart link and it wore off. Curious, I asked the empath to cast it on me again and once again I was able to remove the heart link myself. Is this normal, a bug, or a skill vs skill thing?
It's working as intended. Heart link does not just share vitality of the casting Empath to others. It functions a lot like the Circle of Sympathy spell, in that everyone the Empath has cast Heart Link on can contribute to the communal vitality pool, Empath and non-Empath alike. This means that people in a Heart Link circle can lose vitality when they contribute to the pool, to help bring someone in the pool with lower vitality back toward equilibrium. Heart Link can also kind-of-sort-of out Necromancers with high DO, though they can avoid having it cast on them with AVOID TOUCH. Because I wanted it to remain strictly beneficial and not have to worry about people weaponizing it (and therefore requiring a stat contest) people it is cast on can release the spell. This pretty much just reflects that the person must consent to being in the circle. | |
