Hello My name is Kaln Lorenstem                             November 12, 1996

This paper is a combined effort on my part and Lady Kayla whose contributions are to the
benefit to all as she has great exposure to higher level spells, abilities and very dangerous places.

Others who have built the ladder of information are: Veralidaine Sarrasri, Taru Sumithsu and
others who are not documented as to the author.

As an Empath with a lot to learn I found that the information needed in one concise place, in
abbreviated but informative style of writing, is just not available.  This abstract is in several parts
and is a summary of the efforts of others.  A prelude contains a summary of nice hints tuned to
the needs of Empaths
     1.   First are all of the Spirit and Empath spells used in the Profession.
     2.   Second are some hints to stay alive in the healing process as that can kill an
     Empath as dead as a critical hit from a real nasty critter.
     3.   Third are the Herbs used to heal and the equivalent Empath spell that heals.  The
     herb topic has been well covered but is not all in one location that is field tested and
     proven to work for health conditions stated.
     4.   Fourth are some neat shortcuts Empaths use to trade wounds to lower their
     severity so they may be taken by lower level Empaths (level 5), plus some scar reduction
     techniques that save mana..
     5.   Fifth are as list of essential herbs that every good hunter and speller should carry
     to aid themselves in the event that an Empath is not near.
     6.   Keep the Empath visable to others.  This may reduce Empath healing Empaths.

Prelude:

First, a brief on armor for an Empath.  As a Pure Spiritual Circle Profession early on in the career
use Full Leather, ASG protection of 6, train in the armor a lot till 40 points are in the skill.  This
will allow you to have the best RT for attacks with a weapon.  If you do not wish to attack or kill,
and heal only, that is great, as an Empath can rapidly advance to Titled Status without killing one
critter.  The last item in armor is to get Double Leather (ASG protection of 8, training to 40
points will be needed) as it is the highest level protection that an Empath with all Spirit Spells
and Empath spells may use with no reduction in spell casting abilities.  Double Leather is great
as it affords body, arm, leg, head and neck protection and may be Enhanced by a very high level
Wizard to equal Plate armor in overall ASG protection. (+5 to +50 is possible but costs a lot)  It
pays to be very friendly to wizards.  This is a very valuable enhancement for protection.  Added
protection with no spelling reduction: buy armor padding from a roving merchant, it can add +5
or more to the ASG verses damage or or critical hits depending on the level of the padding of any
armor, but is very costly.  Helms, arm and leg greaves and aventailes are of no use and do not
add protection if double armor is used.

What weapon can or should I use.  As a young Empath healing will be limited but at level one
you may transfer HP a bit and hunt a bit as a great combination to build experience faster.  Hunt
rats till 5 or 6 as they are close and can get your mind numb fast with a lot of kills.  Your RT
should be 7 sec or less (5 sec is the lowest it gets) for better survival, so do not carry a lot of
stuff.  The Rapier is a good initial and lightweight weapon to use for a while, then the Drake
Falchion is a good weapon for a while till you can afford to purchase enchanted metal weapons.
Because of ease of buying in the local shops a Broadsword is best, until a special Falchion from
the Terra Isles (Titled Status) may be purchased.  If you hunt undead then a blessed weapon is
needed, a steel broadsword or steel Falchion are good choices unless you get a rare perma
blessed blade.  Mithril Metal at level 3 may be used but is very heavy and not recommended.  At
level 5 you may use Ora Metal +10 weapons and shields, at level 6 you may use Imflass Metal
+12, at level 8 Mein Glass +15, and at level 10 Vultite Metal +20 may be used.  All are very
costly but are very useful additions to have.  Be sure to use both the shield and weapon when
fighting, use stance forward or advanced, stance offensive for those with high HP levels is okey,
in stance defensive position the total DS level is higher with both shield and weapon at the ready
than if only one is used.

Hints For Empaths

1.   Watch your HP at all times.  If you over transfer HP, you will die.
2.   Make a stick person of yourself and tick off the wounds you transfer until healed with a
spell.  This will prevent you from increasing a minor wound to a major wound and perhaps
killing yourself.  If you have text color capability color key words, bleeding, minor, twitching,
convulsions, damage, lost limb, swollen.  This will help assess your damage quickly and allow
you to prioritize what to heal first with spells and mana remaining.  I color, your spell is ready.
3.   Trick for lowering serious scars, tran a minor wound over a serious scar, same area such
as a serious back scar and a minor back wound.  If you tran it from another Empath you remove
the wound and scar from the other Empath and reduce the scar with a minor wound when you
cast to heal the wound.
4.   Heal down of major wounds is a bit different.  You can take a missing arm, ask another to
take it for a sec.  Then tran in back and it is a minor then, which may be healed with no serious
scar.
5.   As a rule in mass healing as in TSC or the GATE and most other healing places, it is very
busy and as a rule heal other Empaths, Clerics, Titled players  then others, if an order is needed.
6.   Healing Ales on the Terra Islands are available.  See the section on Empath Spells vs Ale
Equivalency.

Empath spells vs Herb Equivalency

Notes:    All herb healing leaves scars, Empath healing does not leave scars.
     Scars must be healed with additional herbs.  Many require multiple herbs to cure.
