Just because this board seemed dead for a long while, I got some info about this profession when I was reading through the DAoC boards.
Yes if you read through the Rolemaster books from which DAoC is inspired you will learn that the "Mentalist" is actually a powerful profession that has the ability to control things mentally that other magic users could only dream of...
for example...
Mind Attack
Mind Control
Mind Merge
Mind Speech
Presence Detections
Sense Alterations
nevermind all the other fun tricks like telekinesis and such....pity that DAoC can't support all that material
Did some further digging and found this.

users to communicate mentally and exchange power
points.

Mind Merge spell or a Ready Merge spell (an 11th+ level spell
on this spell list in Spell Law), this spell allows the caster
to focus on a specific person as the target (that he has Mind
Stored previously). This spell allows certain spells to work
even if the caster doesn’s know the target’s exact location.
5. Thoughts — Caster receives surface thoughts from target.
If target makes his RR by more than 25 he realizes that
someone is trying to read his thoughts. The caster can

target or the caster must use Focus Merge to locate the target
(in all cases, the target must be within range).
7. Prepare Merge — The caster prepares himself to be the
target of a Mind Merge spell or Ready Merge spell (an 11th+
level spell on this spell list in Spell Law), thus, increases the
range of the “incoming” spell. The increased range is equal
to the original range times the number of power points
used to cast the Prepare Merge spell (e.g., if a caster uses 18
PPs, the range is 18 times normal).
8. Mind Merge II — As Mind Merge I, except range is 100'.
10. Inner Thoughts — As in Thoughts, except caster also
learns reasoning and thought patterns behind surface
thoughts.
11. Ready Merge — As in Mind Merge I, except for range and
caster and target must have Merged before and it is
instantaneous.
13. Mind Switch — Target and caster switch minds and spell
casting abilities. Target (in caster’s body) is in a coma if
he is not also a Mentalist. If the target is unwilling, he may
make a new RR every hour.
15. Mind Scan — As in Inner Thoughts, except caster can also
scan target’s conscious memories, at a rate of 1 scene every
round.
18. Mind Merge True — As Mind Merge I, except for range
and caster must know the exact location of the target
mentally or through some other means.
20. Mind Probe — As in Mind Scan, except caster can probe
target’s subconscious memories (i.e., all experiences).

or the caster must know the exact location of the target or
the caster must use Focus Mind to locate the target (in all
cases, the target must be within range).
4. Focus Mind — When this spell is cast, the next Mind
Tongue spell (cast within one minute of this spell) will be
able to focus in on a specific person as its target. The
person must be Mind Stored (see the Presence spell list).

doesn’s know the target’s exact location.

SPECIAL NOTES
Except where communication is noted as being only “oneway,”
the spells above create a “two-way” communication
between the target (and the caster). The caster is not
required to speak verbally. The target speaks verbally, but
the caster is actually reading the thoughts of the target
(though some targets may learn to use mental communication—
any caster who knows this list is presumed to have this
ability).

1. Presence — Caster is aware of the presence of all sentient/
thinking beings within his range.
2. Feel I — Caster gets general idea of the race and level of
one being. The target must first be located by Presence or
Presence True.

pattern of target. This can be used with other spells (both
on this list and others). The caster can only have as many
patterns stored as the sum of his Memory and Presence
temporary stats (not the bonuses). The caster can choose
to release a stored pattern at any given time (the GM
should require that a character keep track of all the
patterns he has stored).
4. Transfer Mind Store — The caster can transfer a copy of
any one Mind Stored person to another caster from the

the target’s actions. In a tactical situation, the caster can
declare his actions after learning one of the target’s actions
for the round (and when he wants to perform the action).
This does not prevent the target from changing his action
(with the appropriate penalty for cancelling his action, see
RMFRP p. 54).

SENSE CONTROL

3. Blur Vision — Target has a special modification of -100
to his OB for missile attacks and -50 for all other actions.
4. Minor Sense Control — Causes minor, false sensations in

taste, or an itch).
5. Audio Attack — Loud sound stuns target.
6. Audio Control — Causes target to hear any sound(s)
desired.
7. Fumble — Target fumbles weapon or item in hands. The
target should roll on the appropriate Fumble Table.
8. Vision Control — Causes target to see whatever the caster

special modification of -75 to all actions and he is stunned.

would drop him). Foe has same capabilities as target but
does no damage (i.e., always misses).
12. Taunting Hallucination — As Hallucination, but will
never attack. He will only taunt the character (parrying all
attacks against him).
13. Sense Control II — As Minor Sense Control, except may
affect any two senses (including sight and hearing).
15. Sensory Overload — This spell overloads the target’s
senses. If the RR failus by 50 or less, the target is stunned
for the duration. If the RR fails by more than 50, he is
unconscious.
16. Sense Control III — Same as Sense Control II, except
affects any three senses.
18. Sense Control IV — Same as Sense Control II, except

caster can “program” sensory input (i.e., sense X
will be received upon reaching point Y) and
concentration is only required to “program” memory
input and the duration is 10 minutes per level of
the caster.
50. Private World — Target lives in own fantasy world,
totally controlled by caster when he concentrates. While in
the fantasy, the target receives no sensory input from the
real world.
SPECIAL NOTES
All of the sensations created by spells on this list are strictly
mental (i.e., not real). For example, the sound created with
Audio Attack is heard only in the target’s head (and it will
work on a deaf person).
Yes if you read through the Rolemaster books from which DAoC is inspired you will learn that the "Mentalist" is actually a powerful profession that has the ability to control things mentally that other magic users could only dream of...

Mind Merge spell or a Ready Merge spell (an 11th+ level spell

to focus on a specific person as the target (that he has Mind
Stored previously). This spell allows certain spells to work
even if the caster doesn’s know the target’s exact location.

If target makes his RR by more than 25 he realizes that
someone is trying to read his thoughts. The caster can

7. Prepare Merge — The caster prepares himself to be the
target of a Mind Merge spell or Ready Merge spell (an 11th+
level spell on this spell list in Spell Law), thus, increases the
range of the “incoming” spell. The increased range is equal

thoughts.

casting abilities. Target (in caster’s body) is in a coma if
he is not also a Mentalist. If the target is unwilling, he may

Tongue spell (cast within one minute of this spell) will be

SPECIAL NOTES
Except where communication is noted as being only “oneway,”
the spells above create a “two-way” communication
between the target (and the caster). The caster is not
required to speak verbally. The target speaks verbally, but
the caster is actually reading the thoughts of the target
(though some targets may learn to use mental communication—
any caster who knows this list is presumed to have this
ability).

temporary stats (not the bonuses). The caster can choose
to release a stored pattern at any given time (the GM
should require that a character keep track of all the
patterns he has stored).

totally controlled by caster when he concentrates. While in

Audio Attack is heard only in the target’s head (and it will
work on a deaf person).
