Empathic Link is an open cast spell that creates a link between any targets that fail a warding roll, lasting for 60 seconds. While in effect, this link causes all affected targets to have a chance to take the same damage/critical whenever one of the targets is hit by the original caster of the Empathic Link. (Damage from other sources, or from non-critical instant death effects, are not propagated.)
The number of targets that can be affected per cast depends on training in Mental Mana Control, with a minimum of three possible targets. If the spell is recast before the effect expires, it will prioritize targets that are not yet linked.
The base chance of propagating damage to the linked creatures is 50%, increased with training in Mental Lore Telepathy. Propagation is independently rolled for each linked target. In addition, training in Telepathy Lore will provide a chance to cause electrical damage to the targets.
The mana cost for Empathic Link is 17, plus an additional 5 mana for each target beyond the second.
Propagated criticals will have the same damage type and location of the first hit. The critical rank will be identical if the target does not have critical padding, otherwise it may have diminished effect.
Usage
- PREP 1117 | CAST or INCANT 1117 to cast this spell against against anything not grouped to the caster. For INCANT, a target must be visible in the room
- INCANT 1117 OPEN to open cast this spell once using INCANT (when a target is not visible)
- INCANT SET OPEN 1117 to always open cast this spell using INCANT 1117
Mana Control Benefit
Training in Mental Mana Control (MMC) increases the number of possible targets.
Mental Mana Control ranks 0 10 24 50 100 150 200 250 Number of targets 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Maximum mana cost 22 27 32 37 42 47 52 57
Lore Benefits
Training in Mental Lore, Telepathy provides two benefits:
Damage Propagation
Telepathy Lore increases the chance to propagate damage.
Mental Lore, Telepathy ranks 0 1 3 6 10 15 21 28 36 45 55 Chance to propagate damage 50% 52% 54% 56% 58% 60% 62% 64% 66% 68% 70% Mental Lore, Telepathy ranks 66 78 91 105 120 136 153 171 190 210 231 Chance to propagate damage 72% 74% 76% 78% 80% 82% 84% 86% 88% 90% 92%
Link Overload
Telepathy Lore provides a chance of (skill bonus ÷ 5)% to overload a link after casting the spell. This will cause electrical damage to one of the targets that was successfully warded, which will then travel through the link to the others.
Mental Lore, Telepathy ranks 1 5 10 17 24 33 50 75 100 125 150 175 200 225 250 Chance for link overload 1% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 55% 60% 65% 70%
