The spell allows the caster to establish an empathetic link between themself and one willing being per spell level cast at. The caster must be in physical contact with the beings to be linked while performing the ritual. After completing the ritual the beings can be separated with no impact on the spell effect
The ritual effect of the spell links the beings such that they share hit points and damage for an hour. Once linked sum the hit points of each together. Any damage or healing to linked beings is applied to the sum rather then applied to the individual beings. When the spell ends the remaining sum is distributed equally between the linked beings up to their maximum hit points.
Example 1: Assume two beings have an empathic link. The caster has 11 maximum hit points and is linked with a character with 25 hit points. They share a sum of 36 hit points. After an encounter the sum remaining is 14 hit points. When the effect ends the 14 points is distributed equally to the two. 14 / 2 = 7. The caster has 7 of 11 hit points when the effect ends. The other has 7 of 25 when the effect ends.
Example 2: Assume two beings have an empathic link. The caster has 11 maximum hit points and is linked with a character with 25 hit points. They share a sum of 36 hit points. After an encounter the sum remaining is 30 hit points. When the effect ends the 30 points is distributed equally to the two. 30 / 2 = 15. The caster has 11 of 11 hit points when the effect ends, because they cannot exceed their maximum hit points. The other has 15 of 25 when the effect ends.
