Mind Reader Helm

A Mind Reader Helm is a set of two steel helmets connected by two orichalcum wires. The mind reader helm enables its users to read one another's thoughts, those on the surface being the most prominent, though they can browse deeper into each others minds to retrieve all sorts of information and secrets if the other is willing or they have much stronger power of will. Each wire sends a one way signal and one can be disconnected to enable one user to read the other while the other cannot read their mind in return. 
Memories and experiences can be shared through a mind reader helm, and they are an effective tool for interrogation, though in the Empire it is illegal to use them in official court cases. Scholars also can use a mind reader helm to "upload" all of their knowledge into a Bronze Head, though the mind of a Bronze Head cannot in turn be read through a Mind Reader Helm.

=== Mind Washer Helm ===
The Mind Washer Helm, also known as the Mind Breaker Helm, is an even more sinister variant of the Mind Reader Helm that can remove information, memories, and even personalities from its victim's mind and replace or alter them something else.
