Telepathic

Telepathy is the ability of, or relating to, direct mind-to-mind psionics. Races in Otherspace with telepathy include B'hiri, Castori, Centauran, G'ahnli, Maltarian, Mekke, Mystic, Theorian, and Vollistan Light Singer. Rare Timonae have been known to exhibit telepathic powers.

A telepathic link can only be initiated by a telepath who is either directly perceiving or familiar with the recipient. The likelihood of it being established is proportional to the strength of the telepath(s) and inversely proportional to their distance. It is also easier to create a link with a willing subject. Once established, the link continues at full strength until something breaks it. A link established with a non-telepath depends mostly on the strength of the telepath, though an experienced or strong-willed non-telepath might be able to help or hinder it. Telepathy can be either 'words' or perceptions. Both transcend spoken language, but words less so. It is possible to transmit only the -sound- of foreign words without the recipient understanding them. This means it is possible to have telepathic conversations between telepaths or even a telepath and a non-telepath.
