If you want a "realistic" explanation for tell, well here you go.
It has been proven, that the brain wave patterns of humans vary slightly when shown pictures of the faces of people they know.
It has also been tested and shown, that humans, when they concentrate on thinking of a certain face, will replicate the same brain wave pattern that was recorded when they were shown a picture of that face.
It has also been shown, that by using a small recorder/transmitter connected to a nerve (say to the finger) that you can record on a computer the exact signal your brain sends to your finger to wiggle....and then, by sending an identicle signal back to the nerve, the finger moves in exactly the same pattern...And it has been taken a step furthor...If another person is fitted with the same thing...even on the other side of the world, it can be set up that when you move your finger, you can send the impulse over the internet to their finger, and their finger moves as well....
Now this kind of technology is in its infancy, and noone really has an Idea how far or what exactly this sort of thing can lead to.... But I see a possibility (scifi maybe...) that you could record the brain wave pattern you have during a thought, and send it to another, forcing them to have the same thought....
Now Cf is a world where Implementors are Gods of unlimited power, where they have allowed you to reincarnate tens of times, where they are all knowing...would they not also have the knowledge of this kind of mechanism...or something similar...and have grown the races to have some sort of biological thing in their heads that allows for this kind of communication?
Really, that is more beleivable than a mortal spectre(epitome of evil..but still mortal) being able to take out an Archon(Holy immortal being of pure good), or for that matter it is more beleivable than 98% of the magical spells.
