Telepathy

Telepathy is the psionic specialization that focuses on mental powers that impact the mind of others. Most famously, telepaths can create mental nets with each other, allowing superior communication. As an offensive ability, many mental impairments can be inflicted upon their opponents. While perhaps not as visually spectacular as its sister skill of telekinesis, it is more subtle and silent, making experienced telepaths a much feared foe.

Neurosis within the Astral (by Nadjia)

Mindlink

Syntax:

MINDLINK FORM MINDLINK JOIN <telepath> MINDLINK REJECT <telepath> MINDLINK TRANSFER <person> MINDLINK DISSOLVE MINDLINK LEAVE MINDLINK MEMBERS MINDLINK SQUAD MINDLINKTELL <message> MLT <message>

A mindlink allows you to link your mind with other telepaths. While very few abilities use it, it does allow communication between telepaths from almost any plane. By using TRANSFER, you can pass the focus of the mindlink to another person.

If you have the squads ability in Combat, you can use MINDLINK SQUAD to convert your mindlink into a squad. A mindlink squad earns more XP bonus than a normal squad.

A powerful attack that will damage the mind, body, and ego, even if the opponent is in dreamform.

Interference

Syntax:

PSI <channel> INTERFERENCE <damage type>

Channel: Id

Greatly decreases the resistance of those around you to a particular type of damage by radiating an aura of interference for particular nerves.

This interference will inflict -2/8 damage resistance but only to damage you cause.

Hivemind

While in a mindlink, telepaths with this ability will find that their psionic powers multiply depending on the size of mindlink, resulting in an increased ego.

Additional Notes:

Adds 3% of maximum ego per telepath in the mindlink, including you. Non-telepaths don't count, but telepaths without the mindlink ability do count. Requires at least two members to take effect, so being the only telepath in a hive mind won't give you 3%, but being one of two will give you 6%.
