Hi,
With one of my player picking up Mind Probe, we've read again the Detection Spell description and rules. Up until now, I applied the the Range : T to the spell effect thus stating that one needs to touch the person one wants to read the mind from. However, it seems , looking at the generic part about detection spell, that the Target of the spell is the Mage itself (or the one being granted by him, the effect of the spell).
Thus, making possible to Mind Probe somebody from a distance - as long as he is within the spell effect area zone, and that the character using Mind Probe is somewhat aware of his target (direct line of sight, but also hearing the person behind a door, or smelling him seems to be OK too).
Is this the common interpretation of the rule ? Or is there a FAQ or Mission Rules saying otherwise ?
