Actually, I have a better idea, I don't want The Minister to continue to always rely on his mind magic continuously, or else it would make things too cliche. The Minister always uses experience and understanding a person's character as a way to tell if they are good guys, simply bad guys, or part of ELOR (really bad guys). It would kind of spoil the years of experience if he had a power that would always show him everything. So, here's how his mind reading magic works. In the words of Harry Potter, mind-reading is a more naive and OP version of the ability, because the mind is very complex. So, for The Minister, to tell if someone is good or not, he would usually just judge that person from their character, like how he met Team BLCk and Cyan and Carbon and Baja, they were nice peop,e and thus he could tell that they are not ELOR agents in disguise because he had alot of experience with how they always present themselves and how they act, which would help him tell. But, when it came to Viridi, the situation had to make The Minister take a "fail-safe" plan after the usual questioning and all that to put an absolute certainty on Viridi. You see, The Minister first needs physical contact, and when he does, he has to maintain a temporary physical connection long enough so that his mind magic can start to give him what he needs. He alos noticed that Viridi, if she was an agent of ELOR, she would have known about the chanter trick and would have been suspicious of letting The Minister have physical contact (like a handshake, or a touch on the shoulder, etc.). First he mentally imagined the picture and when he looked into Viridi's mind, he saw nothing, just a clear white void, which means nothing related to said item, and when he was doing the imaging of Viridi's supposed accidental shooting, since no one saw her when she accidently shoot Carbon, he was able to notice the pictures of Viridi accidently misfiring. Basically, he is given images of a person, and he should not stay for too long, or else he would be in too much pain in making a connection to the point that he would be literally booted out of the mind. It's really hard to do the process, and with the images that are shown, The Minister himself has to sort out the evidence shown to him. So, in a way, The Minister isn't really reading someone's mind, but rather looking through a certain image and to be quick of it or else he would not only be booted out, but he would endanger himself too much. It's not a safe idea, which is why The Minister rarely if not entirely does not utilize this magic trick. I hope this epxlains wy in the future The Minister would avoid this trick as maximum as possible.
