11.18 Telekinesis

Manipulate kinetic energy at a distance.

Special Rules: All Barrier effects from this mystic sphere are made of telekinetic force, not physical objects. They can still be destroyed normally, but this makes them especially effective against incorporeal creatures. Incorporeal creatures cannot enter or pass through the barriers, and must move around them in the same way that any other creature does. This allows a telekinetic barrier to completely block passage in a hallway for an incorporeal creature as long as the surrounding walls are too thick for it to pass through.

11.18.1 Cantrips

Distant Hand

Standard action

Tags: Sustain (attuneable, minor)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose one Medium or smaller unattended object within Medium (60 ft.) range. You can telekinetically control the target object as if you were holding it in a single extra hand. Your maximum modifier to accuracy and checks using the object is equal to your rank with this cantrip.

During the movement phase, you can move the target up to 15 feet in any direction, to a maximum height limit of 5 feet. Your weight limits are calculated as if your Strength was -1, so you can carry a Small object normally or push a Medium object at half speed. At the end of each round, if the target is outside of this ability’s range, this ability is dismissed.

Although you can control the object’s motion, you do not have it equipped. This means that a shield does not grant you its defense bonus, a magic ring does not grant its benefits to you, and so on.

11.18.2 Rank 1 Spells

Animated Weapon

Standard action

Rank 1

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

This spell has no somatic components.

Make a magical ✨ melee strike using one weapon you hold in a single hand. The weapon flies out of your hand to strike at range, granting this strike the Long tag (see Weapon Tags). It flies back into your hand after making the strike.

Desperate Levitation

Standard action

Tags: Attune

Rank 1

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Whenever you use the total defense or recover ability, you can activate this ability. If you do, you move 20 feet up into the air and levitate there. This movement is Swift, so it can help you avoid attacks during the current phase. While levitating in this way, your telekinesis provides you with a stable platform to maneuver, so you are not unsteady (-2 accuracy, Armor, Brawn, Ref). At the end of the round, you descend 20 feet without taking falling damage, then this ability is dismissed.

Fling Object

Standard action

Rank 1

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose a Tiny or Small unattended object within Medium (60 ft.) range. You fling that object at another creature or object within Medium (60 ft.) range of you. When you do, make an attack vs. Armor against the target. You gain a +2 accuracy bonus if you fling a Tiny object.

Hit: The target and the thrown object each take 1d6 damage + half power. If you fling a Small object, you deal extra damage equal to half your power.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

The damage increases by 2 for each rank beyond 1.

Floating Armament

Standard action

Tags: Attune (deep)

Telekinetic Lift

Standard action

Tags: Sustain (attuneable, minor)

Rank 1

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Choose yourself or one Medium or smaller unattended object within Medium (60 ft.) range. The target’s weight is reduced by one weight category, which makes it easier to lift and move. It also gains a +10 foot bonus to its maximum horizontal jump distance, if applicable (see Jumping). This increases the target’s maximum vertical jump distance normally.

Wall of Force

Standard action

Tags: Barrier, Manifestation, Sustain (attuneable, minor)

Rank 1

Cost: You briefly cannot use this ability or any other Barrier ability.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Interposing Force

Standard action

Rank 2

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Make an attack vs. Brawn against one creature within Medium (60 ft.) range.

Hit: The target is briefly unable to move closer to you without effort. This does not impede its movement unless its movement would bring it closer to you while it is within Medium (60 ft.) range of you. As part of the movement, it can make a Strength check with a difficulty value of 6. If it succeeds, its movement towards you costs double the normal movement speed. Otherwise, it is unable to move towards you, and that part of its movement is wasted.
