This spell improves the effect of empathic spells of 3rd level or less, including empathy, empathic seizure, empathic control, and empathic link. While this spell is in effect, saving throws against any of the caster's empathic spells suffer a -4 penalty. In addition, the caster is completely protected against empathic shock damage. The enhanced empathy spell also allows the caster to engage in other activities such as combat or spell-casting while maintaining his empathic spells.
Notes: Common for mentalists; uncommon for enchanters and necromancers; otherwise rare. (Updated from Polyhedron Newszine.)
