Mass Mind grants the "Tap the Mass Mind" activated ability, which, when used, will set the cooldown of all of the player's mental mutations to 0 and place Mass Mind on cooldown for a mutation level based number of rounds. This cooldown period is not modified by the player's [[Willpower]] bonus.

Despite the description claiming the player is stealing power from other espers and vice versa, espers located on the same map as the player cannot have their abilities placed on cooldown by Mass Mind, nor will a creature on-screen that uses Mass Mind cause the player's own abilities to go on cooldown.
