You awaken the ability to mentally connect with others, granting you the following benefits:
- You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see within 60 feet of you. Your telepathic utterances are in a language you know, and the creature understands you only if it knows that language. Your communication doesn’t give the creature the ability to respond to you telepathically.
- You learn the message cantrip, and can cast it without verbal, somatic or material components. If you already know this spell, you may now choose to cast it as a bonus action. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is Intelligence if you do not already have a spellcasting ability; otherwise the spell uses your existing spellcasting ability (if you have multiple spellcasting abilities, choose one at the time of taking this feat).
- You can cast the detect thoughts spell, requiring no spell slot or components, and you must finish a long rest before you can cast it this way again. Your spellcasting ability for the spell is Intelligence if you do not already have a spellcasting ability; otherwise the spell uses your existing spellcasting ability (if you have multiple spellcasting abilities, choose one at the time of taking this feat). If you have spell slots of 2nd level or higher, you can cast this spell with them.
[Part of a project to upgrade Half-feats (those granting lesser abilities/effects alongside a single point of ability score increase) to Fullfeats (foregoing any ability score increase to receive a more fully-balanced ability/effect).]
