Telepathy (VH)

Regular 
Full two-way communication, like Mind-Reading and Mind-Sending combined. The subject must be willing. Both caster and subject know the whole of each others’ thoughts and what the other is experiencing; they communicate at the speed of thought. Other people can “enter the link” – a new casting of the spell (by anyone involved) is required for each new person to enter. To eavesdrop on an existing telepathic link without being noticed, there is a -4 skill penalty. 
If caster and subject know each other and the subject expects the “call,” there is no distance penalty. Otherwise, assess penalties as for Mind-Sending. The spell cannot work across time, dimensions,  interplanetary space, etc.

Duration: 1 minute. 
Cost: 4 to cast. 4 to maintain, for a 2-way link. Same cost for each  additional person added. 
Time to cast: 4 seconds. 
Prerequisite: Mind-Sending.

Item 
Cap, crown, helmet, or other headgear. Usable only by mages.  
Energy cost to create: 2,000.
