Telepathy/Mind Reading is the ability to read another person’s thoughts and/or to communicate with them mentally… At its most basic level, it functions as a short range radio, allowing the character to pick up the thoughts of those around him. Sometimes, it has limitations such as touch or proximity, or only being able to “hear” rather than “see” thoughts. A common hurdle comes from being unable to probe deeper into the minds of those around them, as well as being something of a “Fainting Seer” whenever an especially strong-willed or horrifying character is around… Telepathy is one of the more common permutations of “Psychic Powers” — since the basic premise of psychics is that a sufficiently developed mind can exert forces on the universe around itself, the ability for one mind to affect or sense another is an obvious derivation. It is not however unique to psychic systems, and telepathy is also commonly part of magic systems that call themselves magic; however, because the name is reminescent of more “scientific” worldviews, fantasy magic systems usually call their telepathy things like “mindspeech”, “empathy”, or “sending”. More advanced uses of telepathy involve receiving and transmitting thoughts and memories, and probing beneath surface thoughts into memories… ~ Telepathy – TV Tropes
