Forces Effects

• • • Telekinesis — At low levels of skill, a mage can perform rudimentary telekinesis by altering the directions of motive forces on an object.

With the ability to transmute forces, though, the mage can easily turn body heat, a shout, even ambient light into a push that controls or moves an

object. (With Prime magic the mage could create telekinetic force from nothing.) It's easier to manipulate smaller objects, of course, and fine

control is quite difficult. The mage must also have a constant source of force. If no outside force influences the subject, there's nothing to transform

into kinetic control. On the other hand, since people generate all manner of forces, it's usually a simple matter to hinder an enemy's movements.

Some mages focus telekinesis by using dolls or representations of the subject, while others just use transformative runes or phrases to direct the

motion. In many cases, mages find it easier to telekinetically manipulate the subject if they can act out the motion, but that action isn't always

necessary.
