Environment (Psionic)

This power lets the psionicist get a sensory image of the present surroundings of a particular unliving item. The psionicist need not have any idea where the object is when the power is used, but he must concentrate on a specific, familiar item. For instance, "my friend's metal dagger" is fine, but "the nearest metal dagger" is not.
The psionicist receives an all-round sensory "snapshot" from the item's surroundings: visual, olfactory, aural, and temperature signals. The power itself gives no notion of direction or distance to the item in question, though the character can often deduce its location from the sensory signals.
If the item has been destroyed before the power is used, the check automatically fails. A concealed item (for example, in a pocket) gives a black visual image and insignificant olfactory, aural, and temperature signals.
