Gives you a verb called 'Adjust Empathy Range' if you have shadekin empathy that lets you set the range you want to send to.
Global - The current behavior and default, unlimited range
This Z - Only sends to people on the Z you are on
Local - Sends only to default view range
Subtle - Only adjacent
Shadekin get the verb by default, and if you obtain shadekin empathy through absorption, you also get the verb
if you have shadekin empathy by some other means, you will need to speak through shadekin empathy once to get the verb.
This way if you want to do empathy at your friend across the table and not invite every shadekin on the server to see what you're on about, now you can.
