|p=>>technically [[Empathic shock|shocked]] [[empath]]s should have access to zero healing spells

I'm a little leery of this phrasing, because it seems to imply that self-healing perma'd empaths goes against the lore. I think it's more accurate to say that we designed the lore to allow for self-healing permashocked Empaths. This was for a variety of reasons. Thus, there are two tiers of spells partaking of the empath [[confound]], one that is penalized and one that is unavailable. We are much more likely to rewrite the spell messaging to make this partaking of the empathic sense clearer than to allow Empaths access to Foc or Regen while permashocked.

The empath voodoo is balanced with this in mind. Empaths unhampered by shock with even penalized versions of FoC or Regen would be OP.
