$This is a better version of Mindlink (out of Grim II)...
$
$Telepathic "Chat" Type: Detection TN: 4
$Range: Extended Duration: sustained Drain: see below
$Note: requires voluntary target
$
$The term metahuman below refers to "normal" humans and/or matehumans.
$
$Allows the caster to "chat" with the target (must be metahuman). If the
$target is unwilling to communicate, then no link is established. Like a
$normal conversation, the other person in the link only knows what the
$"speaker" wants to tell him.
$
$Comments/criticism welcome... Does anyone actually see the use of Mindlink
$(which according to the description is only useable with ONE person who must
$be specified at design/learning)?
$
$There are two ways to calculate the drain code for this spell (I recommend
$the first):
$1) From scratch 2) Based on MindLink
$ new sense D new sense D
$ superficial mind +1 deep mind +2 +1
$ sustained +1 sustained +1
$ detection spell -1 detection spell -1
$ restricted tgt. -1 [(meta)human] restricted tgt. -1
$ voluntary subject -1 voluntary subj. -1
$ extended range -1 extended range -1
$ specific target -1 total: [F/2]D
$ total: [(F/2)-2]S
$
$
I don't think the use of specific target is legit, because two people are being
affected by the spell, the caster, and the person he/she is trying to contact.
