Description

For Empaths: a healing window, in the style of Genie's "Crutch" plugin. Each patient gets a tab showing their fresh and scar, external and internal wounds on four body figures, coloured from green (minor) to red (useless). You click a wound to take it. Any TOUCH or PERCEIVE HEALTH SELF you type yourself is picked up too, and an empathic link opens a tab for that patient.

It needs Lich with GTK. Anyone Lich knows isn't an Empath gets "touch: only empaths can TOUCH to perceive wounds".
It isn't stopped by ;kill all or paused by ;pause all. While it's open, ;touch <player> adds a tab instead of starting a second window.
It remembers the window's position, size and pin, and your Take menu choices.

Settings

YAML Settings

Optional, for fine-tuning only:

touch_self_spells:
  hw:
    mana: 10
  hs:
    mana: 10
    prep_time: 5
touch_link_patterns:
- 'Some other message about linking with {name}.'
Setting Default Purpose
touch_self_spells For your own tab, which casts spells on you: a spell's abbreviation (hw, hs, vh, fp, cd, heal, regen, refresh, bs or foc) with its mana (5 by default) and, if you like, prep_time (seconds to prepare before casting). Without prep_time, it casts once fully prepared, or after 30 seconds at most.
touch_link_patterns Extra messages that mean you've linked with someone, with {name} where their name goes. It already knows "You sense a successful empathic link has been forged between you and {name}."

Argument Settings

self Open the window and PERCEIVE HEALTH SELF.
