Empathy

Power to fully interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others. Not to be confused with Telepathy. People with this ability are often called Empaths.

Also known as

 * Empathic Perception

Capability
The user can read and mirror the feelings of others without reading apparent symptoms. Can cause the user to understand introverts or discover one emotion is actually hiding another. With this ability the User can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since they know exactly what emotion is flowing through themselves and can use this knowledge to play against them. Usually over time, an Empath's power may grow to the point that they can manipulate emotions

Limitations

 * Low-level Empaths can only receive emotions, so in an empathic communication, they have to extrapolate from the emotions being sensed what exactly the person is trying to say.
 * Low-level Empaths, since they can only sense emotions, might get taken over and act on those emotions.
 * Inexperienced Empaths may find their powers completely useless in a fight.
 * Empaths are defenseless against beings that have no emotions, such as robots.
 * Empaths may be easily possessed by Spirits and Ghosts, as they are beings bound with emotions.
