|syntax = MIND LOCK <target>       MIND CEASE

|detail = 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

constant loss of mental strength.

used, and when you accept you will be transported to a special location out of harm's way. Most  

other commands will not work until the game is complete.

Tear away your opponent's mental barrier if they have one.

If your opponent has less than half of their mental energy, you can end the match in a surge of

in your location, or if you have locked minds with another.

{{Skill_detail

|skill = Empathy

|detail = This ability will allow you to form an empathatic link between you and your locked target,

allowing you to heal the other periodically at the cost of your own body. This ability comes with  

a mental drain in order to upkeep your empathatic link.

informing you whenever anyone moves into or out of range of the net.

{{Skill_detail

|skill = Sapience
