Telepathy

Capability
The ability falls into two categories, "Telepathic Communication" and "Telepathic Perception." Telepathy is the ability to transfer information from one mind to another, or to read minds without the aid of physical communication. However, this ability cannot affect change or alter another's thoughts, only communication with or without the others knowledge. Not to be confused with the higher level Mental Manipulation
