Well, technically, emotional changes are physical too, within the brain. Changes in neurological activity and chemical balance, etc.

That is an interesting idea indeed, although I'm not sure I like the implications either...I wanted my semblance to be pretty subtle anyway, just to inspire allies and cause fear in enemies and the like. Besides, how would that work exactly? Dust manifest physical magic-like effects. So, I throw a fireball using red dust, and becaue I have an empathic semblance, my throwing a fireball makes everyone angry/passionate? I'm just not sure how that would work, practically speaking...

Thanks for the idea though. I'll have to think on it.
