Mindlink (Individual) Grimoire II page 128
This spell is a hypersense spell requiring a voluntary subject that allows the
casting magician to communicate mentally, exchanging conversation, emotions, and
mental images with a specific person chosen at the time of the spell's design
(presumably a teammate). The subject must be within both line of sight and the
range of the spell at the time of casting. Once the magician has cast the
spell, the target must remain within the limited-range area, but may move out of
line of sight. (Restricted Target: Individual)
The Target Number to determine the mindlink's initial success is 4, and 1
sucess will establish the link. However, if the target of the spell does not
wish to communicate, he or she may resist the spell by rolling a number of dice
equal to his Willpower against a target number equal to the Force Rating of the
spell. If the resisting player succeeds, reduce the caster's successes
accordingly. If the spell fails to establish the link, the magician must recast
it and resist corresponding Drain.

except that it is not limited to working on only one specificed person.
Mind Porbe Shadowrun II page 153
The magician can telepathically probe the subject's mind. The target makes a
Resistance Test using his Willpower Rating against a target number equal to the
Force of the spell. If the target fails to offset all successes, the number of
remaining determines the extent to which the magician can probe the target's
mind. One success means that the magician can read surface thoughts. The
magician knows what the target is thinking about that instant, but cannot
influence the thoughts or draw other information from the target. Two successes
allow the magician to probe for thoughts. The magician can find out anything
the subject knows consciously. He can ask any _one_ question, and the target
must answer with the truth as he knows it. Three or more successes allow the
magician to enter the target's subconscious, and he can obtain the answer to
_two_ questions. Additional castings of this spell against the same target
within a number of hours equal to the target's Willpower are at +2 per attempt.
