The mental image of a large metallic deadbolt sliding into place is accompanied by a resounding mental click.
You can telepathically embed an image or a short passage of text into the longterm memory of a single creature. The creature can, any time within the duration of the power, thoroughly describe the image or recite the passage verbatim. The limit to this ability is an image of a single nonmoving figure, or a passage of a nonmagical or nonpsionic nature of up to 500 words. If the creature has artistic skill (5 or more ranks in Craft [painting]), it can also reproduce the image on canvas. If the creature can’t read the language in which a passage is written but has skill in calligraphy (5 or more ranks in Craft [calligraphy]), it can reproduce the passage. If the creature can read the language in which a passage is written, it can reproduce the passage without needing the Craft skill.
Augment: If you spend 4 additional power points, the duration of the power becomes instantaneous. The information becomes permanently locked in the creature’s mind.
