For anyone who appreciates WEREWOLVES!?

Okay, so I'm writing a book and if it wouldn't bother people, I'd like to use something like 'imprinting' in Twilight, but some things are different and I don't want to use that word. So can anyone come up with a different word?

Update:

oh, well I wasn't for sure if she had made that up or not. but thank you ^-^

    Some synonyms: impress, mark, stamp, trace.

    Also, Stephanie Meyer didn't make up the concept of "imprinting"; it's all over literature. She really didn't make up anything in that story, on that note.

    actually quite a few books use "imprinting" or "imprint" when they describe something like that because, it kind of works..and its meaning/definition is what the author basically means when the people imprint.

    Stephanie didn't make it up so i think you could use it, but if you don't want to :

    Synonyms: banner, dent, design, effect, emblem, heading, impress, indentation, influence, mark, name, print, sign, signature, stamp, trace, trademark, designate, engrave, establish, etch, fix, impress, inscribe, mark, offset, print

    get one of those and add 'ing' or change a few letters at the end?

    i dont know, just an idea. hope i helped.

    Bond, mate, or look up the latin term and just mess around with the spelling of the word.. That's what JK Rowling(Harry Potter) does.
