Entropy link was a level 2 psycast that caused "entropy", now called neural heat, from psycasting to be shared evenly between the caster and target. It was replaced with neural heat dump.

Acquisition[edit]

There are two ways to acquire the entropy link psycast:

  1. Upon reaching psylink level 2, a random psycast of level 2 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 2 psycast.
  2. Entropy link can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.

Summary[edit]

So long as the caster and target stayed within 10 tiles of each other, any entropy gained would eb shared evenly between them, allowing the caster to cast more without negative effects at the cost of inflicting the side effects on another pawn.

Additionally, note that Neural heat dump is considered a harmful ability, and will incur a goodwill penalty of −15 when cast on pawns from a neutral or allied faction.
