Mental Lore, Telepathy affects Mental sphere magic involving thought and emotion-afflicting spells.

Telepathic Lore affects several Bard Base Spells and Empath Base Spells, and likely in future will play a part in spells in the Major Mental list, Minor Mental list, Monk Base list and Savant Base list.

Empath Base

The effectiveness of this attack spell, as well as its chance to immobilize or instantly kill its target, increases with study in this lore.
Training in this lore will provide additional CS-based attack cycles for this spell at the following thresholds: 5 ranks, 20 ranks, 40 ranks, 65 ranks, and 100 ranks.
Training in Telepathy increases the number of targets that may be linked by this spell, to a maximum of ten.
Training in ML:Telepathy is necessary to affect the undead with this spell. A minimum of half the targeted undead's level in ranks is necessary to have a chance to affect it; having at least the targeted undead's level in ranks will guarantee effectiveness if the warding succeeds.

Bard Base

  • All renewable songs
Each rank of this lore increases your renewal time by two seconds.
Ranks in this lore increase the group AS bonus provided by this song. This increase, unlike the increase for additional songs known, does not come with a corresponding increase in mana cost.
Ranks in ML:Telepathy increase the slowing effect and the TD pushdown of this song. The target suffers an additional second of added roundtime at the following numbers of ranks: 10, 25, 45, 75, 100.
Ranks in this lore increase the maximum level of rage that can potentially be caused by this song. The increase is one level of rage at 5 ranks, two levels of rage at 15 ranks, three levels of rage at 30 ranks, and four levels of rage at 50 ranks.
Ranks of Telepathy increase the duration of this song; the increase is 1 second per rank for the first twenty ranks, and 1 second per two ranks for additional ranks, to a maximum of 60 extra seconds at 100 ranks.
The effectiveness of this song at removing stuns, immobility and webs is increased by training in this lore. The chance of removal of such effects is normally 90% - 3% per second remaining in the effect's duration, with a minimum of 10%. Ranks of Telepathy add to this chance on a summation scale, seed 1.
