Telepathy

The power to receive and transmit information with one’s mind. Sub-power of Psionics and Telepathy Manipulation. Technique of Higher Consciousness. Not to be confused with Telekinesis. The user is known as a Telepath.
==Also Called==
*Mental Contact/Surfing
*Mental Interaction/Interaction of Minds
== Fiction-Specific Terms ==
* Legilimency (Harry Potter)
* Mental Response (Scarlet Nexus)
* Brain Talk (Scarlet Nexus)
==Capabilities==
The user has telepathy, the psionic ability to read and control the minds and thoughts of humans, animals, and other sentient beings, and to transfer information from one mind to another without the aid of physical communication (noise or movement). A person with this ability is called a telepath. Users can receive and transmit information with one’s mind without physical interaction. However, many other mind-based abilities fall under telepathy due to those powers overlapping with the core concept of telepathy, allowing a telepath to interact with their own mind and the minds of others in a variety of ways. Some of the more common abilities also considered telepathy would be perceiving the thoughts of others and detecting the presences of other minds through extrasensory means. More advanced users can influence or completely control the minds of their targets and manipulate their thoughts, memories and emotions at will. Potentially, they even control Psychic energy from their telepathic abilities, strengthening their previous powers and maybe even gaining new ones.
==Applications==
Similar to "Telekinesis", "Telepathy" is an umbrella term for any ability that involves projecting, reading and manipulating thoughts or affecting and interacting with other aspects of the mind.
