Like in The Crow or Powder, you will be able to touch someone & absorb their empathic memories like feelings of pain & tragedy & inject it into someone else. So you have a person that is in pain & dying, you take their empathy & go put it into the one who caused it. Or if someone has depressed feelings, you take a cheerful person's emotional thoughts & give it to the sad one. You do feel a little bit of the empathy you absorb & can only absorb one at a time.
