Telepathy

## Summary

**Telepathy** is the ability to transmit one's thoughts and feelings to another person at a distance without using other conventional means of communication. It can also allow for mind reading in certain cases, and is often associated with Mind Manipulation.

## Capabilities

Users are primarily able to receive and transmit information from one person to another through mental means. 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 reading the thoughts of others at will and detecting the presences of other minds through extrasensory means. More advanced users can completely control the minds of their targets and manipulate their thoughts and emotions at will. Potentially, they even control Psychic energy from their telepathic abilities, strengthening their previous powers and maybe even gaining new ones.
