The '''Empath Base''' [[spell circle]] is primarily comprised of [[CURE (verb)|healing]] magic, but contains a few attack and utility spells as well (most notably [[Bone Shatter (1106)]] and [[Troll's Blood (1125)]]). The circle used to be numbered 800s, but are now 1100s.
The '''Empath Base''' [[spell circle]] contains the self-healing magic available to [[Empath]]s 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 [[silenced|silence]], [[Cutthroat|severe vocal cord damage]], and anti-magic fields can prevent spellcasting.

This circle, numbered in the 1100s, almost completely replaced the [[Former_Empath_Base|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.

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.
