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
