Empath

An Empath is a reincarnated mortal being, born with the ability to feel other's emotions, the power of empathy. When mortals are reincarnated as Empaths, they usually become Elders, Cupids, priests, counselors, teachers, psychiatrists, etc. Their power allows them to help others, such as healing someone's emotional pain. While most Empaths are born immortal, others who were given the gift of empathy remain mortal.

To find one's strength as an Empath, one must embrace the emotions and not fight against them. This is why only a few begins are chosen to become Empaths, which make the gift very rare.

Phoebe Halliwell
Phoebe Halliwell is the only known Witch of Warren line of witches to become an Empath. Although she was not born as an Empath, she received the gift, presumably as she was destined to become one.

Phoebe, as columnist, used her gift to help the people who wrote to her. The power also connected to her premonition power, making her able to feel the emotions of the people in her visions.
