This spell allows the caster to form a link between two subjects to allow them to feel each other's emotions, pains, and recovery. Some married adventuring couples, or extremely close friends, may use this spell both for the healing benefits, and out of a symbolic attatchment to each other. Certain wicked spellcasters may use it to make sure they are aware of their pets, or to make harming their enemies easier. If you bond yourself to a close friend of your enemy, the sacrifice required is often too great.

Mechanically, this spell forms a bond between two targets (which may include the caster). From that point, until the spell is dispelled, every point of damage dealt to one will also be dealt to the other. Every status one suffers from, the other will suffer from. Every emotion, every physical condition felt by one, will be felt by the other. This includes Damage, Healing, Condition, Emotions, and Magical Effects, but is not limited to them. If one character gets enhanced strength, so will the other. If one gets damaged, so will the other, in close enouh fashion that the wounds will match. If one catches a cold, or starts to cry, so will the other (though they may not know why). This has many advantages, but at least as many penalties.

Material Componentes: To use this spell, the caster must bind the hands of the targets together with a length of silk rope. This must remain in place for the duration of the casting.
