Default Pyrokinesis-5; cannot exceed Pyrokinesis. As for the Cryokinesis technique (p. 55). Telepathy is perhaps the most common psychic ability found in modern fiction, and it is what most people think of when they hear “psi.” This power covers any sort of direct mind-to-mind interaction, from casual communication to outright domina- tion. It is the largest power, with the most varied abilities. Most Telepathy abilities can only be used on a subject that you can see, one you’ve “locked onto” with a sense like Telescan, or one you’ve made contact with via Telesend (i.e., you sent a thought to him and he did not mute it). Alternatively, if you can hear the subject, or if you know his exact location (his hex, for advanced combat), you can use Telepathy at -5 to skill. The exceptions are Telesend and the abilities under Sense and Defense (pp. 66-67), which can be used “blind.” A psychic with a bad memory. Go figure.
