Empathy

Empathy is the magical ability possessed by an Empath to experience the emotions of others without direct contact with them, as if they were actually feeling what one was feeling and for the same reasons. Empathy can drive anyone crazy if they were not meant to receive or control it. Magical beings' powers are tied to their emotions, so empaths can channel them through empathy (so as Telepathy). But as Charmed shows it, there is a difference between empathy-channeling to telepathy-channeling: empathy-channeling works more to deflecting the powers of others (so as energy balls, telekinesis, etc) but telepathy-channeling is more to use and control those powers (so as seen by Zachary).
