Perform precise manipulation (e.g., keys, containers, weapon draws)
Side/Secondary Effects
Mental strain increases with object mass or duration
Prolonged use may cause disorientation, nosebleeds, or psychic fatigue

Manifestation
A subtle pressure shift in the air
Gravity seems to "bend" slightly around the target
Sensitive individuals may feel a silent hum, like tension before a thunderclap
Source
Drawn directly from the ambient Weave. Stronger and more reliable near Leyline Nexuses.
Discovery
Early records of Telekinesis predate modern magic.
Refined into usable technique by early sorcerers during the First Accord Era as a means of non-destructive force projection. Taught as one of the Three Foundational Weave Disciplines.
Gestures & Ritual
Some practitioners extend their arm or maintain an open-palm stance
Others rely on steady breath and deep focus
These motions assist discipline, but are not necessary — clarity of thought is what matters.
