In particular, the Regency of Bluefall is hiring telepaths in order to facilitate communication with the mysterious Deepfallen of their own world, while guarding against interference from enemy powers.// The Telepath manifests mental powers associated with touching other minds, moving objects with a thought, and influencing the thoughts of others. These powers represent a different use for the bioenergy produced by the mind and body of all living things. For the Telepath, mental powers take the form of thoughts made real. Through meditation and strict mental discipline, the Telepath finds a deep reservoir of power within himself-power that can be tapped to turn a thought into a strong defense or a deadly weapon.
