Apprentice Animus Quirk

Hello!

Apprentice Quirk - The Living Totem - Discovered through the lifelong bond with her animal partner, Ruvaf, Norani has unlocked the ability for Living Totem. This allows Norani to meditate while touching a living creature to form a bond with them. This creates a Totem that is added to her Animus Mark in the same manner as traditional totems. This cannot exceed the Totem counts. While this Living Totem is within Norani, she will have a vague idea as to the general location (direction from her position) to the being the Totem is from, and a very vague knowledge of their emotional state. These are shared with the Living Totem being as well. It should be noted that Dissociating from a Living Totem breaks this bond and it must be anew. If the Living Totem being dies, the Living Totem is destroyed as well.

If I might make a suggestion?
Empathic Bond - Norani is able to meditate and through the careful application of her knowledge of both the animals she studies and the utilization of her Animus rune, she forms an empathic bond with said animal. By means of this bond, she is able to establish a magical link with these animals and as a result incorporate their shape into the tapestry of her Animus rune as a living, breathing totem. The Empathic Bond, once made, becomes a passive thing through which she gains a general awareness of the animal's emotional state and likewise, the animal is able to gauge her emotional state as well. In the event that the animal is killed, the Empathic Bond is broken and her access to that specific animal's shape is lost. To regain the use of that shape, she will be forced to establish another Empathic Bond with another animal of its type. Additionally, Norani is able to Dissociate from the Empathic Bond as with any other totem.
I make this suggestion so as to alleviate any potential confusion. How does the above sound?
