Mind Reading

Written by Salen

The Psion uses this power to sense the thoughts of other people, usually hearing them like ordinary speech. There are two levels to this power. Minor and major.

Minor

The Psion senses the surface thoughts (including other mental communications), of another person. Since it is only the surface thoughts, (what is on their mind at that moment) It takes very little to do and there is really no defense for ordinary people. Elves can use ether to shield themselves from this, but normal people can not.

Major

The Psion can do the same things as above, but they can also learn to push farther into subconscious and memories. This is extremely difficult and relatively rare in Psions. When pushing into someone's mind, it alerts them to the intrusion and they usually try and fight against it, resulting in damage to the mind and possible loss of memory if the Psion keeps pushing.

Effect

The Psion reads the surface thoughts of the person and learns what is on their mind at that exact moment. In battle this can help them to avoid attacks and even know where their opponent will move to.
