Cyclic Warding/TM Spell, Prereqs IZ & Regen -

While active, attempts to transfer empath's wounds onto the target they're facing. Any attacks against the warded empath that fail the ward and succeed with the Empath's TM will instead deal damage to the attacker.

Maybe as a trade-off it periodically damages the empath like IZ does, but full body vs hands, any strikes that the ward triggers against suck wounds off the empath and place them on the attacker. Trains empathy. Not sure if it would cause shock?
