Telepathy attribute on randarts is misleading

I was all excited when I found some iron gauntlets that had the attributes "grants telepathy: minor, major," and then only found that they detect demons. It certainly would be OP if they granted full telepathy to everything, but in light of the actual effect, it should state "grants telepathy: demons."

I think it's pretty descriptive as deamon is the only major type of enemy that has subtypes minor/major - and if it were subtype deamon, then that would mean its doubly as powerful as if it were telepathy minor or telepathy major.

That sounds the same as saying "grants telepathy: green, red" implies telepathy only to green and red ants. I don't think it should be hard to change the description IMHO.

I'd agree that it's misleading. Seems like it would work better to just make it telepathy: demons, even if that means you have to crank the rarity of that telepathy up a bit (or just let people get lucky sometimes).
