| Telekinesis is the psionic specialization that focuses on creating fields of force with the power of thought that can be used to manipulate matter. Using telekinesis as a weapon can be a terribly effective, as the psionicist can burst veins and otherwise harm the physical body of their enemies. The upper levels of telekinesis can use these force fields to create substantial defenses. |
