Need help statting a "read personality / memory"-type power

I'm reading over mind bank, and it looks like it is no modifier (probably because the built-in hour that it takes cancels it out). It is +100% for snapshots equal to IQ.
So the power would be:

Fake it (+75%): Mind Probe: (Memory Bank; Accessibility: only to target of Shape-Steal, -10%; Accessibility: Only in altered form, -10%; Maximum Duration: 8 hours, -5%; No "secrets", -20%; Reduced time 6 (1 Minute), +120% ) [35]

After the character has successfully used Shape Steal on a target, he may spend an additional minute probing the subject's knowledge and placing it into his mind bank. As a result the character gains sufficient knowledge of that target to use Acting to pass as that individual. He'll know names of people his target know (but not the ones that the target would want to keep secret) as well as knowing basic things like where the target parked, where it lives, works, etc. This knowledge is lost once the character reverts to his original form a Shape-Steals another target.

Looking at this, I think the accessibility modifiers might be too low. Anyway, how does it look now?
