-'''ESP''' enables the caster to comprehend the thoughts of [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligent]] creatures within the spell's area of effect.  Only one creature's thoughts may be heard in any given [[Combat Round|round]], while the total number of creatures whose thoughts can be understood is limited by the caster's [[Experience Level|level]].  However, the caster may focus back and forth between multiple individuals.  Only creatures with an intelligence of 5 or more can be "read."
+'''ESP''' is a spell that enables the caster to perceive the immediate thoughts of [[Intelligence (ability stat)|intelligent]] creatures within the spell's area of effect. The caster can focus on only one creature per [[Combat Round|round]], though they may shift attention between different individuals as the spell progresses. The total number of creatures whose thoughts may be read is limited by the caster's [[Experience Level|level]]. However, only creatures with an intelligence of 5 or higher can be "read" — animals and creatures of lower intellect remain imperceptible to the spell.

-The spell doesn't allow the caster to peruse the past thoughts of individuals, only those immediate ideas, plans or beliefs in the immediate present.  These thoughts are unlikely to include the creature's name, place of residence, grand purpose or long range plans.  That said, the caster is sure to learn what immediate intents and emotions a creature has, when creatures are knowingly lying, what they intend to do next in a  [[Combat|combat]], doubts they may have and so on.
+== Mind Reading ==
-Calling out a creature's thoughts in the moment has the power to stop him or her in their tracks, as will answering questions that haven't been spoken aloud.  Knowing the caster is actively able to read thoughts may produce strong feelings of fear or aggression, depending on the individual and the situation at hand.
+While employing ESP, the caster is required to remain motionless and silent for at least one full round and cannot expend any [[Action Points|action points]] (AP), including for speaking aloud. The caster may end ESP at any time without breaking the spell's effect, but the duration continues to expire whether or not the ability is in active use. To resume reading thoughts, the caster simply declares on their next turn that they are focusing on ESP instead of taking any other action.
