Summary
The power to receive and/or transmit information mentally or through other non-sensory means. Users of this power are often called Telepaths or Mind Readers.
User can read/sense another person's thoughts, communicate with them mentally or affect, and otherwise interact with their minds/consciousness/thoughts. Telepathy has three common abilities or categories; Telepathic Communication, which is the ability to transmit information from one mind to another, Telepathic Perception, which is the ability to receive information from another mind knowing an opponent’s moves and attacks, and Telepathic Manipulation, which is the ability to affect/influence/control/manipulate the minds of others. 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 and even their very consciousness from their bodies and project their power into the physical plane.
