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.

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.
