Notes
Order of Mata Nui members underwent mental training to achieve the ability to throw up a psychic shield around their minds.1
Beings with mental shielding (such as Matoran/Toa/Turaga of Psionics and Order of Mata Nui agents) could not receive telepathic messages from others. The shields were not selective; if one was cut off from telepathy, one was cut off from all telepathy. Mental barriers could be broken by someone with sufficiently powerful psychic abilities. It was a lot harder with an Order of Mata Nui agent who would have had extensive training, but it was not impossible. The mental shield could be lowered, but it had to be done consciously. It did not go down on its own, although it could be weakened by external forces like intense physical pain, intense emotional disturbance, etc.2
Other Information
- In mid-2006, Greg Farshtey was opposed to a Toa of Psychics because there were already masks with the abilities of telepathy and telekinesis.3
