Sub-Hatsu number two for Sinister Smart-Phone:

Name: Radio Your Mind

Nen Type: Specialisation

Description: The user can activate a radio which instead of playing music or FM radio stations, plays the thoughts of all those surrounding them. This ability is useful for both information gathering, and combat.

After opening the application, a dial and meter showing the frequency of the radio will appear on screen. By turning the dial the user can change the frequency and intercept the thoughts of nearby people. Each person will have their own frequency and the signal will decrease or increase depending on the distance away from the target and the amount of aura being channeled through the phone.

Once a frequency has been found, the user can hear exactly what their target is thinking or feeling at the time, and there will be no clear signs that their thoughts are being intruded on. This is useful for information gathering for obvious reasons, but also in combat as they would be able to read what move the opponent is going to use next and act accordingly. However it is not without its disadvantages. If the target is in a crowded area for example, it will be extremely difficult to find the correct frequency in order to listen to their thoughts, and if they are trying to find a person but don't know their voice, they may skip past the correct frequency without knowing.

Limitations: 

1) The radio will not work past a range of 200 metres.

2) If the user tries to use it in an extremely crowded area, there may be too much interference to listen to any thoughts at all.

3) If the target's mind is in too much turmoil/stress, their thoughts may be too intangible to make sense out of.
