Speaking of boosts; I see some problems with Empathy's Cry- namely, one isn't solely feeling one particular emotion- not easily anyway. I've felt happy and at peace at the same time, lazy and irritable, angry but also sad- it seems peculiar that only one emotion can boost at once. Additionally, can the link be used offensively in the sense of linking an enemy then? I mean, I presume it's a possibility though, that would bring up the question of what happens if someone can block out the link or reject it. The emotion with a stronger presence would be the one from which the effect given, and if they're so similar the differences are negligible, it's 50/50 which one it is. I can't really list every possibility, so maybe I might make an edit that might make it a bit of a mix and match type deal, though I'd like to see what others think before I do so.

I actually hadn't thought of that. Theoretically, it would be possible to use it in that manner, hence why it's a utility ability. As for blocking a link or rejecting it, the person in question would likely have to know ahead of time that they'd be affected by it, so usually things wouldn't be thrown out of wack.

Thanks for pointing those out.
