The mage can violate the private sanctum of the mind and pull out useful bits of information. He or she can weed through the synapses of a person's conscious thought, and intercept the electrical impulses that fly between. Usually, creatures subject to this spell have no idea they're being read. Only creatures with minds have thoughts. (Plant creatures and undead are right out)

- The mage can hear surface thoughts. (“I am really hungry,” “That girl is hot,”)

- The mage can weed through a mind and pick out desired information. (“The keys to the chest are in my backpack”)
