Empathic Soul

-Bonds through Space & Time:

Your unique soul, a melting pot of emotions, is the result of ancestors and blood relatives, who dedicated themselves to caring for others as long as they lived.
You became the focal point of your ancestry's will to give a helping hand to those in need.

As mushy or sickly sweet as it sounds, your most powerful magic comes from within and others.
The people with whom you lend a hand are why you can grow even more powerful.
Your feelings and connections are your strength, and anyone who wants to have a cynical or sarcastic say in it will get stomped by the sheer force of the bonds you harness.

You are a beacon of emotions and feelings, you can perceive as much bliss or happiness, as you can understand the hurt and the pain of everyone else.
What you choose to do, is learn to tap into the raw power of such a delicate spectrum, making you capable of psychic feats, worthy of a cartoonish heart-looking arch-mage.
As you progress, you learn to expand your capabilities and push them further to decipher and empower yourself, through the invisible threads that connections are made of.
