Empathy

You create a telepathic bond between yourself and another sentient creature by tying string laced with your a strand of each others' hair to each others' pinkies. When casting through a spellcasting focus, simply intertwining your pinky fingers is sufficient. Once the bond is established, it persists for up to 1 mile. You may end the effects of the spell as a bonus action.

While the spell is active, you know and feel the emotions your tethered partner is experiencing, and the same is true in reverse. Neither you nor your partner may deceive each other through the reading of emotions, but you may still speak lies or make deceptive actions otherwise. If the emotion is particularly powerful, it may cause a physical reaction in the other person. For example, if your partner is brought to tears, you will also cry, even if you aren't personally compelled to.

When cast as a 3rd level spell, the effect of the spell extends to the physical sensation of touch, with the partner suffering half of the damage they take while under the spell's effect as mental damage.
