- Telepathy (PSI users all naturally share PSI Telepathy, Ninten uses this to be able to read minds and speak to animals, Paula uses it to telepathically call to Ness in her dreams, along with telepathically speak to other members of the Chosen Four from across towns or even continents. The ability seems to be universal to all PSI users as their consciousness no matter their age is fully aware and can speak with people)
