## Capabilities

Users can mentally interact with the mind, consciousness, and thoughts of themselves or others through mental power/capacity, thus being able to read/sense another person's thoughts, communicate with them mentally, and a plethora of other capabilities without the aid of physical communication (noise or movement).

Telepathy has three common categories; *Telepathic Communication*, which is the ability to transmit information from one mind to another, *Telepathic Perception*, which is the ability to receive information with one’s mind, and *Telepathic Manipulation*, which is the ability to influence the minds of others to varying degrees. The most advanced telepaths are not only capable of interacting with the minds or spirits of others, but with reality itself in various ways, tapping into psychic/astral energies, extending their senses/perception and even their very consciousness beyond the limits of their bodies, and potentially even projecting their power into the physical plane.
