for the purpose of panfandom, i'll have it as anyone will be able to keep him out of their mind (something like a mental 'NO' or just not wanting to have their mind read. mental barriers will also work). the presence can be perceived and therefore rejected, that is, if your character recognizes the presence for what it is. i would elaborate on what something like this feels like but i really have no idea. maybe just think of it like that niggling persistent ninja headache that never quite becomes a real headache.
he won't be actively scouring minds yet. this form is mostly to know who wouldn't be blocking him out when the time comes to tip toe around. cr will undoubtedly change out characters react, so i'll try not to reply to comments in case the permissions change.
described as 'communication of thoughts', not exactly like mind-reading. distance is a non-issue (except in cases of huge gaps, such as between the surface of a planetary body and an orbiting ship), and the presence of a foreign 'invader' can be perceived by the receiving mind, especially those with magical/spiritual abilities.
it is less a form of magic than it is one of the spirit. the basic idea is that one's mind/spirit willingly enters the mind of another and takes or leaves a thought or idea. the one whose mind is being entered can willfully close their mind to the intruder and have absolute protection, though whether this requires practice and/or skill is.. vague. this 'unwill' cannot be overcome, but can be 'removed' if the reader convinces the receiver to open their mind.
