Editing The Minds (section)

== Abilities and Powers ==
Each Mind is a gathering of Selphids without bodies, and can grow larger or smaller based on the number of Selphids within them.<ref name=":1" /> Joined together in a hive mind, a Mind has immense mental capabilities, and are able to create a mindspace where they visualize and organize information. They can also pool the experiences and memories of each individual Selphid. Each Mind has its own personality of sorts, which is a gestalt of the personalities of the individual Selphids.<ref name=":0" /> The constituent Selphids can live for centuries within a Mind, kept in a controlled environment free of parasites, disease, pain, and distress.<ref name=":1" />

The Minds possess psionic abilities, including telepathy and telekinesis. Additionally, through an unmentioned method, they can grant the class of [Telepath]. A Mind is able to directly connect to a non-Selphid , and at the very least manipulate their thoughts.<ref name=":0" /> They can also clone consciousness into another body.

Individual consciousnesses can be separated from a Mind, but this requires the original Selphid to be preserved as it was and restored into a new form. Furthermore, they will not be the same as they were before merging into a collective, so it is rarely done.

=== Weaknesses ===
[[Selrite]] is a material that's difficult for them to affect. People wearing Selrite amulets are protected from their telepathy and direct use of telekinesis on their body.

Despite their telepathic advantage, they have trouble accounting for invisible threats, like gases and sonic attacks.<ref name=":2" />
