===Legilimency and Occlumency<span class="anchor" id="Legilimency and occlumency"></span>=== Legilimency is the practice of extracting feelings and memories from another person's mind β a form of magical [[telepathy]]. It also allows the practitioner to convey visions or memories to another person. A wizard possessing this skill is called a Legilimens, and can, for example, detect deceit in another person, witness their memories, or plant visions in their mind. The counter-skill to Legilimency is Occlumency, which is practised by an Occlumens. It can be used to prevent a Legilimens from discovering the practitioner's thoughts or memories. Voldemort, [[Severus Snape]], Albus Dumbledore, and Gellert Grindelwald are all skilled in Legilimency and Occlumency.
