I was just musing about ways to improve Empathic support capabilities, and had an idea that felt pretty neat.

What if certain Empath self-buffs (MeF, Vigor, Tranquility, perhaps) could be shared along a persistent link to our patients? My thinking is that the name of the game should be promoting people working together and hunting in teams, and while we can already do some cool things to support people in combat (HoH especially!), it'd be neat if persistent links had additional functionality. If it's too much to ask for spell sharing, perhaps a brand of persistent links can be tweaked to provide small scale buffs to those who are linked, either at the expense of concentration or mana or vitality of the Empath. Or something.

Thoughts?
