This power allows you to inscribe your personal rune or mark, which can consist of no more than six characters. The writing can be visible or invisible. A psychic mark power enables you to etch the rune upon any substance without harm to the material upon which it is placed. If an invisible mark is made, a detect psionics power causes it to glow and be visible, though not necessarily understandable.
See invisibility, true seeing, a gem of seeing, or similar effects likewise allows the user to see an invisible arcane mark. A read magic spell reveals the words, if any. The mark cannot be dispelled, but it can be removed by the manifester or by an erase spell.
If a psychic mark is placed on a living being, normal wear gradually causes the effect to fade in about a month.
