Empathic Link is an open cast warding spell that creates a link between any target that has failed the warding roll. This link causes all affected targets to take the same damage/critical whenever one of the targets is hit. The number of targets is dependent upon training in Mental Mana Control, with a minimum of three possible targets. The damage propagated between the targets can only be inflicted by the caster.

The base chance of propagating damage to the linked creatures is 50%, increased with training in Mental Lore Telepathy.

The mana cost for Empathic Link is 17 + (5 × # of targets>2).

Mana Control Benefit

Training in Mental Mana Control (MMC) increases the number of possible targets.

# of targets = 3 + (MMC skill bonus ÷ 50)

Lore Benefit

Training in Mental Lore, Telepathy provides two benefits:

Damage Propagation

Telepathy Lore increases the chance to propagate damage.

Chance for damage propagation = 50% + 2% per seed 1 summation of ranks

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.
