I would like to see an alchemy/empathy/herbology type quest that you can go on at XX circle where you can go apprentice under some great name in recent history to learn how to make XX rare salve/herb or learn XX rare empathic ability or make XX potion to turn someone green when they drink it, etc... or something like that. Basically, a guild/profession-type quest where you get some kind of random (not world shaking) ability. Kinda like clerics have quests that they do at X circle, only a little bit more flexible. Maybe have it give you a special title or something at the end along with your new ability. Something to kinda set the dedicated Empaths apart from the others. Don't make it quick to accomplish either. Maybe make it something akin to the length of time it took to get the shift quest before there were walkthroughs for it.

A bar maid is not interested in your manipulations at this time. Perhaps later...
