Speaking to Beings
You feel a strange stirring in your mind, and even as you are about to speak to the olive-skinned female human, you simultaneously, as if by instinct, somehow transmit the words directly to her with your mind.
Help File
Mindspeakers have the power to convey their thoughts directly into the minds of others, without recourse to haphazard spoken language. This entails the use of a variety of telepathic faculties; see 'help basic telepathy' and 'help advanced telepathy' for information. In order to perform mindspeaking, you must have a telepathic contact established as described in 'help advanced telepathy'.
Your mindspeaking ability is determined by your intelligence, willpower, ego, and telepathy skill. In general, the same factors which affect the difficulty of establishing telepathic contacts also affect the difficulty of mindspeaking.
The primary form mindspeaking takes is communication with an individual across a telepathic contact. To do this, first the relevant contact must be your active contact as described in 'help basic telepathy'. With an active contact selected, concentrate on sending or transmitting your thoughts; this opens a channel through which you may mindspeak. The first thing you subvocalize following the opening of a channel becomes a "key" which you then use to designate messages which you wish to mindspeak through that channel. For instance, if you subvocalize "send" after opening the mindspeaking channel, then subvocalize "send hello", the person on the other side of the contact will receive the message "hello". To cease mindspeaking on your active contact, concentrate on ceasing to send your thoughts. Once you have begun mindspeaking over a contact, you will continue to do so any time you use your subvocalization key, even while that contact is no longer your active contact; in this way you can maintain several open mindspeaking channels at once.
You may also use a simple, short-ranged broadcast version of mindspeech. This does not require the use of telepathic contacts, although it will be much more reliable if contacts are present; only those nearby you will be able to receive the message sent. To do this, concentrate on sending or transmitting the words you wish; for example, to project the message "hello everyone", concentrate on sending the words hello everyone.
