Empathic Linking

Empathic linking is a requirement for healing by an empath on an F2P subscription. In a 2015 discussion, it was stated to be a long way off before it was a general requirement.

It is initiated via TOUCH {target} LINK, which takes 30 seconds, and will subside naturally after 180 seconds or UNLINK is issued by either player. While two characters are empathically linked, any number of wounds (or scars depending on training) may be transferred in one direction. This includes TRANSFER {target} EXERTION for characters that are overexerted, as F2P characters otherwise require a casting pass for Adrenal Surge (1107).

First person

>touch Character link
As you touch Character, you concentrate on establishing an empathic link.

and after 30 seconds

You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and Character.

After 3 minutes or if unlink is initiated

You sense your empathic link with Character fade away.

Attempting to establish a new link when another is already estabilished:

>touch Character link
You are unable to establish another empathic link until your previous link is dissolved.

Second person

As Empath touches you, you feel a warmth radiate from his touch.

After 30 seconds, they can begin healing you

You feel Empath's mind touch your own as your wounds begin to tingle.
