'''Empaths''' are highly attuned to other living creatures, allowing them to heal the wounds of others. Such powers have their drawbacks, however; since Empaths are so close to the pain of living beings around them, if they so much as try to harm another living creature they will lose their ability to heal for a time. If they kill, such ability can be lost forever.

This does not mean that Empaths are barred from combat. Many choose the path of the Battle Empath, with defensive skills and abilities often outstripping those of the adventurers they seek to heal.

===Crafting Affiliation===
As they are a lore-prime guild, Empaths may choose two [[crafting]] careers and one hobby.

Guilded Empaths receive two free technique slots in the [[Remedies discipline]] and one free technique slot in the [[Cooking discipline]] of the [[Alchemy skill]].

See: [[Crafting]]

==[[:Category:Empath Abilities|Guild Abilities]]==
* '''[[Empath Healing|Touch]]''' - By simply touching a patient, an Empath can form an empathic link with them that allows the Empath to diagnose the patient's injuries with some precision. Besides wound transfer, several other Empath abilities (Shift, Link) require an active diagnostic link to be in place in order to function.
* '''[[Empath_Healing|Transfer/Take]]''' - Allows an Empath to take the wounds, scars, and assorted injuries of other adventurers by transferring them to the Empath's body.
** '''[[Wound Redirect|Wound Redirection]]''' - A more advanced form of taking wounds which allows the empath to change the destination of transferred wounds for five minutes.
* '''[[Link ability|Link]]''' - More experienced Empaths can use their empathic links to others to access some of their knowledge, thereby increasing the Empath's skills for the duration of the link. This ability is taught by other Empaths and cannot be maintained in combat.
** Linking has more advanced forms such as '''[[Persistent Link]]s''', '''[[Hand_of_Hodierna|Hand of Hoderina]]''' and the '''[[Unity Link]]'''.
* '''[[Perceive Health]]''' - Allows the Empath to detect the presence of others in the surrounding area by sensing their life energies, including health status such as poison, disease, or low vitality. As the Empath's skill increases, life energies can be detected farther and farther away.
** Empaths may also use their perception to check if a creature is living, [[undead]] or a [[construct]]. See the {{com|perceive}} for more information and syntax.
* '''[[Shift ability|Shift]]''' - Though considered a hush-hush skill by those in Elanthia, some Empaths possess the ability to alter the appearance of others permanently. It is considered a forbidden practice in all provinces in [[Kermoria]] except for [[Ilithi]], as of 406 AV.
* '''[[Manipulate ability|Manipulate]]''' - Those with sufficient skill can Manipulate a creature approaching them into believing that an Empath is a friend rather than an enemy. This is a powerful tool for Empaths choosing to enter hunting and battle areas.

====Spell Slots====

[[Spell slot progressions]]

The Empath spell tree requires 55 spell slots to master. Empaths earn 76 spell slots at 150 which leaves experienced Empaths plenty of room for [[Magic Technique]]s or [[Analogous Patterns]] spells. '''All magic guilds get a free magical feat at circle 2, and Empaths get Injured Casting as theirs.'''
