Too weak.

For reference, here's a Mind's Eye list of some psionic Talents (cantrips):
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/psi/psi20021220a

If it's something that gives a skill boost, it tends to be a +5 to +8 bonus that lasts for an hour or so (Dermal alteration, Facial alteration, Webbing).

The "Intuition" talent gives you a +1 bonus to the next save, skill check, or attack roll you make, no matter what it is.

Or, here's another list:

Specifically, the "Memory Recall" power; if you've just failed a Knowledge check, it gives you a second try at a +4 bonus (that's better than just getting a +4 bonus on the first one...)

Making arcane versions of these shouldn't be too hard.

im not trying to make psy powers into magic. These are fine the way they are bonus wise.

 

[Bean 2.0]

how about intimidate?

 

[Saepiroth]

careful application of either illusion cantrip can easily give you a very large bonus to Intimidate.
