If you are not using the Expanded Psionics Handbook in your game, use this description of the mindlink power:

You forge a telepathic bond with another creature within 30 feet, which must have an Intelligence score
of 3 or higher. The bond can be established only with a willing subject, who therefore receives no saving throw and gains no benefit from spell resistance. You can communicate telepathically through the bond even if you do not share a common language. No special power or influence is established as a result of the bond. Once the bond is formed, it works over any distance (although not from one plane to another), but lasts for only 1 round per character level. This is a mind-affecting ability.
