Telepathic Projection is the power to send ideas, emotions, or thoughts into another's mind. This doesn't allow the psychic to control the target, per se, but does allow purely mental communication- and the projection of particularly strong emotions can sometimes trigger a reflex reaction, but the reflex can be unpredictable.
At its most basic level, Telepathic Projection is the ability of a psychic to speak with a 'mental voice' in the mind of a target.
Mind Shields offer defense, as one might expect. Strong emotions can cause the target to take a reflexive action, but this action is determined ultimately by the ST with input from the target- what the psychic intends doesn't really matter much, only the method he chooses. Spending a willpower point, however, is generally sufficient to resist the reflexive action.
