Telempathy Cantrip

E/F/M:

This cantirp is treated exactly the same as the empathy casting q.v but there is an added capacity the ability to send and emotion feeling to an individual or roup of like individuals . This emotion will dominate behaviour for one hour if the subjects are not intelligent one AT if they are semi intelligent and one BT if fully sapient human or higher interllect. Telempathy has an extra heka const in additon to that required for activation this cost in heka equal to the highest MRPow in the group plus 1 point for each additional individual in the contiguous group Note that distance beyond teh sight of the enabled persona or intervening material screening the subject form view adds to the cost of Telempathy sending or receiveing these added costs are example .telempathy used on a subject in acastie interiro would have to pass throuh serverla barriers but as the top is exposed to telempathic sending nore of the intervening substance are of teh heaviest sort coming down form above we pass through the roof a barrier equal tovery thick stone and tehn through the four floor beneath which are wqual to double course brick then through another very thick stone barriers. so expenditure of 20 points of heka is needed for this consideration . Lets say that the castle is also more than 500 miles distant 510 to be exact so that another 10 points of heka must be spent to get the telempathy that far the total costy is then 30 + MRCap of the target i nheka points. Note that any unseen subject must beknown as to general whereabut or else a reading of general nature must be made . A general reading merely finds out if there are emotions present in a general area of about one square mile mazimum outdoors or less in smaller divided ara indors such as a room . the cost 5 heka points plus distance plus barriers if any Ageneral reading wont identigy the exact nature of potential subjec tunless the emotional profile of the subjec is are form previous telempathic contact it will reveal thing such as general species of course . when the profile fo subject or subjectrs is koown then a genral search by acan of a radius equal to distance is possible . teh heka cost of such a broad scan is 5 plus the distance cost squared. Thus a one mile readius scan costa only 5+1 points of heka a two mile scan costs 5+4 a four mile scan costs 5+9 an eight mile radius scan costs 5+16 points of heka and so on squareing distance cost each step . by such scan the subject is are located unless totally screened or able to block emotional radiation . Counter heka is useful in such regard . Total screening comes from heka lead sheathing or gold oricalcum etc. or else is effectively achieved by individual able to block emotional radiation. screened emotions will not be detectabel as those of teh desired subject . any persona able to utilize powers or casting which deal with emotion and or domination are considered as screened. telempaths and telepaths are boocked as are those able to employ powers or casting dealing with sensory capacity thought see the casting effect force material list page 303 thsi brings up the question contact with another individual able to use heka enabled casting power to produce telempathy or its equvalent . If telempathic influence is attempted on such an individual a K/S vs K/S contest takes place with eah persona relevant STEEP used . Both may add heka to increase their total score the intiliating individual might be in trouble if attempting to influence a mage priest or demon . tied scores goes to the subject but the attacking telempath may try immediately to again exact influence failure indicates that no further attempt on that subject may be made forat least 24 hours. A special failure enables the subject to try similar influence techniques on the would be attacker if desired and immediate means heka poitns are availble.
