Power : Telepathy.

::: Quick & Dirty :::

Available at: Traveller's Guild.
Cost:
-Telepathy(1): 2,500 coins + 10AP cost of "training"
-Telepathy(2): 5,000 coins + 10AP cost of "training"
-Telepathy(3): 10,000 coins + 10AP cost of "training"

Telepathy permits one to send a message to other vampires that aren't
necessarily in the same square as you are. Basically, a whisper-type feature
implemented into the game

There is no quest involved with this power, however there will be a severe
drop in Action Points (AP) associated with purchasing the power. This AP deduction will be taken from your stored AP, not off your max. So if you purchase the power with less than 10 available AP, you will go into negative numbers and have to wait for them to regenerate at your normal rate before you can move again.

::: Detailed Description (per in-game FAQ) :::

Telepathy (3 Levels Available): The vampire is able to send telepathic
messages to other vampires, no matter where they are. At level one it costs
ten action points to send a telepathic message. At level two it costs six. At
level three it costs two. Sending a message to your sire or one of your
childer costs half the action points of communicating with other vampires, ie.
it costs only one action point to communicate with one of your childer using
level three telepathy.

::: Sample Text :::

When you pay for the power, at all 3 levels, this is the text you see:

Intensive training, lasting several hours, leaves you feeling very tired.
Your mind, on the other hand, is feeling especially alert.
You have gained a level of TELEPATHY.

The third level of telepathy unlocks the 'shout' ability. Vampires with this ability can shout, rather than speak a message. Their message will be heard not only in their own square, all vampires in the direct 8 adjacent squares will also be able to see it. Shouting costs a vampire 1.5 AP per message.
