The Empath Base spell circle contains the self-healing magic available to Empaths as well as some attack and utility spells.
This circle is a hybrid form of magic between Spiritual and Mental spheres. However, for mechanical purposes, nearly all of the spells within it are currently considered purely spiritual. Warding attack and defense spells in the circle use Spiritual CS/TD.
Spells from Empath Base have the unique quality of requiring no physical gestures, and can be prepared and cast even with missing limbs or serious head injuries. They must still be vocalized, and effects such as silence, severe vocal cord damage, and anti-magic fields can prevent spellcasting.
Enhancements by Rank
All stackable and refreshable enhancement spells last for +60 sec per rank unless otherwise stated.
For lore enhancements, see Lore Chart.
- Healing spells

For example, Limb Repair (1102) is obtained at rank 2 and can heal major wounds starting at rank 7, while Limb Scar Repair (1111) is obtained at level 11 and can heal major scars starting at rank 15. Additional training in the Empath Base spell circle reduces healing roundtime. These benefits are capped at level.
- Empathic Focus (1109)

Behind the Scenes
This circle, numbered in the 1100s, almost completely replaced the original Empath Base circle, which is numbered in the 800s and now used only for herbs and other healing objects. This transition allowed the circle to include spells other than those needed for healing, by compressing the healing spells into fewer spell slots. This became possible through the development of variable-effect spells.
