Tied to the lifeforce of all creatures that move across the lands of Newerth, the Empath has suffered greatly in the war against the daemons. Nevertheless, her gift -- and curse -- is a powerful asset for the Legion, for the Empath is able to call on her magic to heal allies, weaken foes, and even merge her essence with other heroes.
The Empath is a unique support hero capable of entering an ally with As One and greatly buffing it. Meanwhile, Essence Link fulfills multiple roles by siphoning an enemy's health to the Empath herself.

Target an enemy unit to tether it for 5 seconds, dealing 20/30/38/46 True Damage per second and healing yourself for 20/30/38/46 Health per second.

Sucky sucky.
Notes
Does not interrupt action when used.
If the target becomes Invulnerable, it will not break the link.
Deals/heals up to 100/150/190/230 True Damage/Health.
State on Empath (or the target ally hero, if used while As One is active) is not a buff and thus can no longer be dispelled.
