	:Salvur says, "His empathy is powerful, there can be no doubt of that. Well, it was powerful, before he helped bring down Lyras and shocked himself silly. I might have thought he had a high opinion of himself before that, if anyone had asked me, but it turns out perhaps it was not misplaced."		:Salvur says, "His empathy is powerful, there can be no doubt of that. Well, it was powerful, before he helped bring down Lyras and shocked himself silly. I might have thought he had a high opinion of himself before that, if anyone had asked me, but it turns out perhaps it was not misplaced."

			'''Guild'''
			:Guildleader Salvur Siksa grows silent, his eyes boring into yours and says, "We of the Empaths' Guild hold the power of life. Through study and the application of empathy, we can hold more power than any other guild could care to imagine, even the Warrior Mages. We have the ability to heal the crippled, blind and stricken souls who need our help."

			:Salvur closes his eyes for a moment, then continues, "Yet not all is sunshine and roses. Being an empath imposes certain restrictions on you you will find yourself unable to injure another being without suffering yourself. Many empaths feel that this is a proper price to pay for the power we hold in our grasp, but I believe that it is possible to mitigate this consequence, if one knows how."

			:Smiling mirthlessly, he finishes, "Understand that the favor of the gods is not necessary to practice your craft, though I would recommend you curry such attention for your own well-being. Our power rather comes from those around us and all living things. And remember, we do what the Gods do not normally do: we give life before Urrem'tier steals it away."

	'''Shock'''		'''Shock'''
Line 67:		Line 74:
	'''Empathy'''		'''Empathy'''
	:Salvur's mouth twists. "A gift some call it, and others a curse. Empathy allows an empath to sense and manipulate the life essences of those around him. This ability has many implications. The best known, of course, is healing -- the ability to transfer wounds from a patient to the empath's own body. This is far from the only application, however, and many more are rumored. Others are more than rumors, but are forbidden."		:Salvur's mouth twists. "A gift some call it, and others a curse.

The best known, of course, is healing -- the ability to transfer wounds from a patient to the empath's own body. This is far from the only application, however, and many more are rumored. Others are more than rumors, but are forbidden."

			:"It was due to the power inherent in empathy that the Imperial Healer's Guild was disbanded long ago. Some boxes are best left unopened, wouldn't you say? But there are other, less fraught, applications. Manipulation of life essences, linking to others to temporarily borrow some of their skill, driving away foes, perceiving the essences of those around you, and your own, magical anesthesia, and much more. Leave the other boxes closed, tempting though they may be. It is for your own good, I assure you, and the continued good of our beloved Empaths' Guild." Salvur smiles thinly.

	'''Jomay'''		'''Jomay'''
Line 105:		Line 114:
	'''Poison'''		'''Poison'''
	:Salvur says to you, "Poisons. Hmph. They're everywhere. I'm often surprised that people aren't dropping like flies due to exposure to them." He gestures at a nearby bush with waxy green leaves, then to a delicate climbing vine. "Poison. Poison. Even tobacco is poison, if you prepare it right. Alcohol, the seeds of an apple... it's everywhere, I tell you."		:Salvur says to you, "Poisons. Hmph. They're everywhere. I'm often surprised that people aren't dropping like flies due to exposure to them." He gestures at a nearby bush with waxy green leaves, then to a delicate climbing vine. "Poison. Poison. Even tobacco is poison, if you prepare it right. Alcohol, the seeds of an apple... it's everywhere, I tell you."

			:He looks you up and down, the frown lines around his mouth deepening. "Empathy, you'll need, to transfer a poison from some poor sod's body to your own. Sufficient empathy, and anyone can do it. Of course they'd have to be an empath then, wouldn't they? More fool, them. Best you know how to flush it before you go experimenting, though. The flush poisons spell, you'll need. Try it without that spell and you'll be in a world of hurt, and don't say I didn't warn you."

			:Salvur squints into the distance, folding his arms across his chest. "Now, as to how it happens, this transferring of poisons...there are many things about empathy we do not understand. Annael believed some silly hogwash about transmutation, and that Dwarf down south thinks we move the stuff like the lunatic mages. I'll not be venturing a guess though, until it's more than a guess. Empathy is a strange force, a powerful force, and subject to enough speculation."

	'''Disease'''		'''Disease'''
	:Salvur snorts. "Stay out of Rathan bawdy houses, and you'll be well on your way to avoiding most diseases." He seems to have said his piece, but the silence stretches on for a while, and finally he grudgingly continues. "Yes, yes, diseases. They've laid low many a doughty warrior, and oftimes don't seem all that troublesome in their early stages, only to turn quite nasty. The more virulent ones can empty an entire village faster than a besieging army, if there's no empath on hand."		:Salvur snorts.

The more virulent ones can empty an entire village faster than a besieging army, if there's no empath on hand."

			:He continues, "Much as with poison, you may find that you can transfer diseases to yourself before you're actually able to heal them with a spell. I'd not recommend that, myself, but you're the captain of your fate, aren't you? Just don't say I didn't warn you. You'll need the cure disease spell, and a measure of empathy, if you want to heal diseases in yourself."

	'''Edenlaen'''		'''Edenlaen'''

She tried to take his soul, too, along with his life, but Meraud put a stop to that."		:Salvur says, "The late Prince of Zoluren. He died fighting Lyras, like so many did.

	'''~~Maniuplate~~'''		'''Nissa'''
			:Salvur smirks to himself. "I've heard she was easy on the eyes. That anesthesia she came up with is handy, too. Nice bit of work, for a woman."

			'''Manipulate'''
	:Salvur tightens his grip on the head of his cane. "An invaluable application of empathy for one who would travel in the world's less hospitable areas."		:Salvur tightens his grip on the head of his cane. "An invaluable application of empathy for one who would travel in the world's less hospitable areas."

			:He continues, "It's true we cannot harm a living thing without unpleasant consequences, but a purely defensive fight can grow tiresome after a while. We can manipulate those with an untainted life essence to consider us friends, instead of foes, sometimes moving them so powerfully that they step in to fight those who would do us harm. It's much surer than the ranger's way, though not as lasting. Further, it's a battle of wills, and wearying in its own way."

			:"If you don't already know how, you'll need an empath of sufficient skill to show you the way of it, provided you yourself are skilled enough for the learning. Don't look to -me- for that -- I'm sure I'd damage my empathy trying to hammer anything at all through your thick pate." He smirks at you, toying with his cane. "Don't take that the wrong way, now. I was stubborn once, too, and young. And how greatly I rued it later."

	'''Transfer'''		'''Transfer'''
	:Salvur says to you, "Transference is the best-known application of empathy, and the one that endears us to so many warriors, kings, and rich mothers with unfortunate stretch marks. Simply put, an empath can transfer wounds from his patient to himself. The empath then heals the wounds with a spell, or maybe an herb or salve. Empaths can transfer wounds, scars and poisons, as well as diseases, through the application of supernatural empathy."		:Salvur says to you, "Transference is the best-known application of empathy, and the one that endears us to so many warriors, kings, and rich mothers with unfortunate stretch marks.

Empaths can transfer wounds, scars and poisons, as well as diseases, through the application of supernatural empathy."

			:Salvur rubs at his temple, grimacing slightly. "Best you be careful in transferring, though. Too much too quickly, and the wounds can bleed you out, or even kill you outright, especially if you're working on a corpse. Skill at arms and strategy it takes to fight in battle, but it takes skill to heal in triage as well. Know your limits, your spells, and above all the state of your own body. Healing is a battle in its own right, and often just as vital. A dead empath's just as useful as a dead warrior. That is to say, not bloody very."

	'''Link'''		'''Link'''
			:Salvur chortles to himself.

			:"Don't ask about that too loudly, or you might end up locked in a wagon, or sent into the hinterlands to study a phosphorescent cave lichen for all your prime years."

			:When you don't immediately relent, he continues, "Oh, very well, it's no secret anymore, is it? Linking allows you to enhance your knowledge of a subject by linking with another's. Handy for those anatomy exams in the academy, wouldn't you say? Though don't let the masters catch you at it, I'm sure it's considered cheating. If you don't know how, get one of your kind and generous guildmates to show you the way of it."

	'''Perc'''		'''Perc'''
			:Salvur closes his eyes for a moment and grows still.

			:Opening his eyes, he says, "Doesn't look like much, does it? But empathy allows you another sense, if you have, well, sense enough to use it." He pauses for a moment, snickering at his little pun. "Any empath can sense the state of his own body, if he wishes, and those with enough skill can turn that same sense outward, and try to sense the life essences of those around him. A skilled empath can sense surprisingly far away. We make quite good sentries, though most have better uses for a such a one."
