Empathic Link is an open cast spell that creates a link between any targets that fail a 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. Propagation is independently rolled for each linked target.

The mana cost for Empathic Link is 17, plus an additional 5 mana for each target beyond the second.

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)
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 58 60
Mental Lore, Telepathy ranks 66 78 91 105 120 136 153 171 190 210 231
Chance to propagate damage 62 64 66 68 70 72 74 76 78 80 82

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.
