Basic


Sense Magic
You can sense magic by studying an object for 15 seconds. This does not provide any detailed description of the magic, only that magic is present.

Upkeep Makic Items
The Empath can trade in a mystic resource for 2 magic upkeep tags.

Lesser Channel
The empath can summon forth the energy around them and fling it at a target doing damage to them. At this level the empathy can only do 5 damage. It takes an uninterrupted 10 seconds to charge this skill. While charging, you must hold the spell packet in the air so others can see what you are doing—it is hard to hide a big ball of energy! Once the spell is charged you can use no skill nor perform any actions except walking, talking, or running until the spell is used. This is a packet driven skill and you must call ‘5 magic.’

Transference
The Empath can drain 2 life from a target, even themselves, and give another target one life point in return. This ability takes a 20 count to activate and you must be touching your target. At any time you take damage or move you are considered interrupted and must make the 20 count again. The Empath can only drain positive life from an individual. Thus, once a player hits zero life, they can no longer be drained. However, the empath can heal targets who are in negative life.
