Sense
Syntax:	MIND SENSE <target>
Description:	With this ability, you are able to seek out the mind of another player, gaining knowledge of his physical location. There is no equilibrium or balance cost to perform this.

Locking
Syntax:	MIND LOCK <target>
Description:	MIND CEASE Telepathy is a powerful ability, but it all begins by forming a mental lock with your subject first. Mind locks take time to form as you break down the mental barriers of their subconscious, however the more adept you are at telepathy, the faster you will be able to penetrate their mind. Once you have locked minds, a mental battle will begin as you attempt to hold control of your subject. The less willpower you have compared to your subject, the more likely you will be detected and ejected from his mind. The willpower cost of maintaining a mind lock is reduced when in the same location and elevation as your target. Using this ability on an ally will allow you to lock their mind near instantly, and the willpower drain of holding it will be halved.

Dissolve
Syntax:	MIND DISSOLVE
Description:	Should you have a mind lock already, this skill will allow you to dissolve it.

Glance
Syntax:	MIND GLANCE
Description:	Glance through the eyes of your target that you have locked minds with, allowing you to see their location as though you were there yourself.

Syntax:	TELESENSE <ON/OFF>
Description:	Due to your heightened telepathic awareness, you are able to, at the cost of a small mana drain, detect telepathic energy in the area.

Throw
Syntax:	MIND THROW <direction>

Fullsense
Syntax:	FULLSENSE
Description:	By sending out an invisible telepathic web, you can quicky detect and find all minds within your local area.

Listen
Syntax:	MIND LISTEN and MIND UNLISTEN
Description:	You are now able to direct audio sensory input of your target over the telepathic link and to your own mind. This will allow you to overhear conversations either within the location or through direct tells. Due to the ongoing effort required to maintain this ability, there is a constant loss of mental strength.

Isolate
Syntax:	MIND ISOLATE and MIND DEISOLATE
Description:	This ability will isolate a mind locked player from all mental communication they may attempt to send or receive. Normal communication such as speaking or shouting will still be heard.

Link
Syntax:	MIND LINK <telepath>
Description:	MIND UNLINK By opening up a one way channel to another telepath, you are able to lend them some of your mental strength. This allows for telepathic feats that would otherwise be impossible.

PsyCombat
Syntax:	PSYCHALLENGE <player>
Description:	Psychic combat is a telepathic battle between two players where the goal is to crumple your opponents mind. There is no penalty for losing, however those with deathsight will feel the moment a game is decided. There are only seven commands associated with psychic combat that may be used, and when you accept you will be transported to a special location out of harms way. Most other commands will not work until the game is complete. You can do the following in psychic combat: PSY BLAST: Blast your opponents mind and attack his mental fortitude. PSY BARRIER: Erect a barrier that protects your mind from psychic blasts. PSY WHIP: Tear away your opponents mental barrier if they have one. PSY SURGE: If your opponent has less then half of their mental energy, you can end the match in a surge of psychic power. This is costly to perform and could result in your own loss if misjudged. PSY PROBE: Use your mind to determine your opponents mental energy. PSY MEDITATE: Meditate your mind in order to recover your mental energy. This is a slow process. PSY ESCAPE: This takes time and during which you may not do anything else. Once the ability is successful, an exit will open up allowing you to escape.

Empathy
Syntax:	MIND EMPATHY and MIND UNEMPATHY

Clarity
Syntax:	CLARITY
Description:	Clarity of mind is a defence against a weakened psyche, protecting you one time against the effects of dementia and hallucinations.

Description:	Your sensitivity to telepathic power has been heightened to the extreme, allowing you to make better use of Telesense.

You must be maintaining your Telesense in order to receive these benefits.

Clairvoyance
Syntax:	This ability is passive.
Description:	Your skill at telepathy has increased that you can now use minor telepathy attacks while off balance. Doing so however, will incur an extra equilibrium cost as compared to normal. Skills that benefit from this: Fear, Paralyse, Stupidity, Confuse, Recklessness, Epilepsy, Pacify, Anorexia, Deadening, Amnesia, and Command.

Radiance
Syntax:	MIND RADIANCE
Description:	The most powerful attack a telepath has, this allows you to build up an awesome amount of telepathic power, then release it to your hapless victim, killing him instantly.

It is not possible to save yourself from death if you die in this manner.
