Telepathy is the skill of mental manipulation. The abilities in it may be divided generally into two parts. The first are abilities that can simply be attempted on any adventurer in the same location. The second kind are abilities that require a mind lock to use.

The skill of Telepathy is available to members of the Monk class, along with Tekura and Kaido. After a monk has mastered Tekura they may enhance their training with Shikudo.

Abilities in Telepathy

Abilities designated with an asterisk (*) are available to use without a mind lock.

Sense	Use your telepathic powers to seek out others.
Syntax:	MIND SENSE <target>

Lock	Focus your telepathic power to lock minds with someone.

Channels:	{{{channels}}}
Shapes:	{{{shapes}}}

Attacks:	{{{attacks}}}
Works against:	Adventurers
Cooldown:
Attune Effect:	{{{attune}}}
Symbol:	{{{symbol}}}
Details:	This is the ability that most of the Telepathic arts are focused around. It is the skill of breaking down the barriers of resistance in another person and locking your mind to his. The adventurer must be in the same area as you, for even your powerful mind has its limits. The time it takes to gain a mind lock can vary depending on your target. Your skill in Telepathy vs. his skill in Philosophy and your willpower vs. his willpower are the prime factors in how long it will take to attain the lock. A mind lock attempt can be stopped prematurely via MIND CEASE. Once you have initiated a lock, every 15 seconds, the locked mind automatically gets a chance to break the lock. The chance of breaking the lock is determined by a comparison of your current willpower vs. the target's current willpower, and your Telepathy level vs. the target's Philosophy level, and various mental defenses for both individuals. MIND STATUS will show you who your mind is locked with, as well as any continuous abilities that are being channeled through the lock.
