@KatherinWinterits not so much mind reading as an e empathy thing. I can sense peoples moods through a aoe mental link as I'm feeding, sorry I haddnet said that before.as the aoe mental link has a range of 100 ft,just as heads up. And because of my ability to convert energy into other formed I can use sort of an ESP to read surface thoughts of a person/peoples if there mood changes to sort of a hostile/ worried state to one of concern/ homicidal mood. And also those tendrils is a physical manifestation of my power, and only appear when I'm in deep focused to feed, otherwise I just subconsciously feed off of everything around me. Sorry I didn't mention that before. My apology.
