In order to manifest this power, the manifester must expend her psionic focus.

The manifester of this power inserts a single thought of her choice in the mind of the target. The thought must be somewhat simple, such as 'do not lock the door on your way out' or 'don't forget your keys'. You do not need to share a language with the target of this power. The target is allowed an Intelligence check to realize that the thought is not her own, with a bonus or penalty ranging from +10 to -10, gaining a bonus if the thought is out of character or taking a penalty if it is in character. This power has no effect against creatures with an Intelligence of 3 or below.

Intelligence Check Result
14 or less The target is convinced that the thought is her own and usually follows through unless doing so is dangerous or wildly out of their nature.
Even if the thought is not followed, the target will usually reconsider its positions in relation to the thought.
15 The target thinks that the thought is her own, but is free to dismiss it if it either dangerous or against her nature.
The target will follow the thought if it according to it needs or it nature.
20 The target realize the thought is not her own and may dismiss it. She may become suspicious of the possible source of the thought.

Augment: If you spend an additional 4 power points, you may associate an emotion with the inserted thought. This usually has a great effect on the bonus or penalty on the Intelligence check.
