Psychokinesis (from the Greek ψυχήκίνησις, meaning "movement from the mind") or Telekinesis (meaning "movement at a distance") is the ability to move objects without any physical connection, using conscious resources alone. The ability is rare, as compared to telepathy, but can be developed with proper training (though it may take many years).

The basic problem with telekinetic ability is the toll it takes on the human brain. Not many people have the wiring to handle the load that telekinetic activity places on the brains neural pathways. It also requires a great deal more oxygen in the brain than is normally supplied.

Telekinesis has two primary modes of operation:

Spatial Telekinesis

Operates upon the space surrounding an object, basically creating a vacuum (technically, a progressive motion) in a specific direction, allowing an object to be moved about in a 3-dimensional, coordinate reference system with no alteration of the object, itself.

Temporal Telekinesis

Operates upon the time of an object, in essence changing its thermal properties (heating/cooling it), ionic properties (which can be used to influence electrical devices), magnetic properties (altering magnetic ionization levels and causing the object to explode), or mass properties (changing its density).
