 The mind reader is a mask who is able to learn hidden information about a character through the use of their mind-reading ability.

 ## Gameplay
-The superfan is known by the traitors, but not vice versa, with the traitor team composition unknown to the superfan until they're all dead and dusted. The superfan is one of the few roles that changes how they're seen over the course of the game, with their presence being a wrench in the gears for [Empath](../crew/empath.md) and the likes.

 The superfan wins with their current troupe, so if the traitors don't **all** die, they still win with the crew. This is not necessarily traditional to the werewolf role (aptly named [Traitor](https://werewolf.chat/Traitor)) this mask is based on, but is necessary due to the outstanding impact even a [Recruit](recruit.md) can have on the game.

 Their main ability is the power to sense the aura of a target player, which they can use repeatedly after a moderate cooldown.
 Which aura they see is dependent on the mask the player has:
 
-- **Neutral Aura:** Basic, unassuming. Default aura used for the majority of roles such as [VIP](vip.md), [Mercenary](mercenary.md), [Glutton](glutton.md), etc
-- **Killing Intent:** Murderous, violent. Used for roles that have kill-related objectives, such as [Traitors](../traitors.md), [Martyr](martyr.md), [Veteran](veteran.md), etc
-- **Strange Feeling:** Dull, hazy. Reserved for masks which have not gained their main objectives, such as the [Amnesiac](amnesiac.md) or Copier-type masks like the [Cannibal](cannibal.md)

 ## Gameplay
 The empath is a mask that, while lacking objectives pushing them towards gameplay, is deeply involved with the deduction of the game due to their strong abilities.
