Telepathy is a specialPSI technique, only appearing inEarthBound Beginnings. When used outside of battle, it allows the user to read into certain people's minds and communicate with certain spirits.

There are only a few uses for Telepathy, with most of the uses relating toMagicant and Ninten's Great Grandparents in some way. Plot related uses of Telepathy are often signaled by an XX marking in the near vicinity. This includes the shell that marks the entrance to Magicant, and theXX Stone atopMt. Itoi. In conjunction with the Great Grandfather's Diary, Telepathy is used to enter Magicant before the Fish Hook is acquired. Telepathy is required to enter Magicant, QueenMary's castle and learn the Eighth Melody. Telepathy is also required for a few sidequests, including returning an old Man's false teeth and smaller functions such as using the center fountain in Magicant as an ATM.

Telepathy has no use in battle.

InEarthBound,Paula uses Telepathy to callNess and laterJeff, though the ability does not appear in gameplay. Paula's abilityPray may be related to Telepathy in some way, however.

Trivia

If Ninten is incapacitated and Ana uses Telepathy atop Mt. Itoi, Ninten's Great GrandfatherGeorge will replace Ninten's name with Ana while speaking. The text is not otherwise modified however, causing George to call Ana as his Great Grandson by mistake.
