Empathy

Empathy is the power to channel the emotions of others, to feel what they are feeling. This power is quite hard to control as it doesn't have any particular trigger. Phoebe Halliwell gained this power, her Premonition having allowed her to feel the emotions of the people in her visions. Beings with the power of empathy are often referred to as Empaths and return to earth after death as immortal beings, much like Whitelighters. This power had been stripped from Phoebe, however she regained it in No Rest for the Wicca.

Capabilities
The user can feel what other people are feeling, either automatically or by focusing on them. The power can be hard to switch off, but meditation and time with the power can solve this problem. Because powers are tied to the user's emotions, Phoebe discovered that she was able to channel a being's power by channeling their emotions; allowing her to replicate, defend against and redirect powers so long as she maintained the empathic link.
