Mental Link

By Anders Sandberg, for The Core faction.

Level 3 Talisman

Description

The mental link is an electronic device surgically inserted into the brain of the user (there is also a helmet version, which can be simply removed). It will use a Mind 3, Correspondence 3, Spirit 2 effect to link together to any other Mental Link in the world or beyond. Using this link, thoughts, sensory impressions and information can be transmitted (note that a mage sensing through another link can use magick against remote targets). It can also control standard robot bodies. There is also a Mind 2 effect making it possible to tune out emotions or other undesirable effects (if somebody watches another user dying, the link will remove fear and pain impressions if undesirable). A simple Mind 1 effect gives the user mental control over the link. One version is implanted into brainwiped sleepers who are used as remote controlled robots.
