Capabilities[]

The user possesses tactile telekinesis, the power to move, manipulate or otherwise interact with matter and energy through mental effort or other means through physical contact. The differences between telekinesis and tactile telekinesis are their distance of influence. Normal telekinetics can move matter and objects from a distance without direct contact with the body; meantime, tactile telekinetics are restricted to manipulating what they're touching. The user cannot access telekinesis's most popular and essential applications that define it (attraction & repulsion, telekinetic maneuver, mass levitation fields, etc.). Regarding manipulation from a distance, the user is constantly in contact with themselves. Hence, tactile telekinesis is considered a personalized variation of telekinesis, mainly because it's portrayed as users telekinetically manipulating themselves as they are cataloged as powers associated with oneself and cataloged as an object.

The user can manipulate themselves by influencing bodily and limb movements, enhancing physical or mental attributes, generating a telekinetic force-field to defend themselves from assaults, flying by levitating oneself, and manipulating their matter composition from a molecular, atomic, subatomic, or existential level. The user has complete mastery over themselves, enabling them to withstand being altered by physical forces (gravity, atmospheric pressure, wind, etc.), spiritual or magical mediums, and being manipulated by telekinetics. Using tactile telekinesis, users can manipulate anything they come in contact with, from controlling any form of physical matter without direct physical interaction instead of using their mind or other forces. The user can spread destructive vibrations onto the ground by touching the ground to spread violent telekinetic pressure, change an object's appearance, sense any anomalies within a material, and move massive material such as cruise ships, planes, skyscrapers, construction vehicles, and mountains without them crumbling due to "telekinetically locking" them in position mentally or using other forces to perform this operation to carry them without sustaining damage from their weight.

If they possess enough experience, creativity, skill, and power, the user can impersonate regular telekinesis by generating a mass tactile telekinetic field around themselves to control anything that comes in contact with the field without touching them directly. Extreme experienced and powerful users can manipulate anything on a molecular, atomic, subatomic, and existential level to achieve remarkable applications. With enough expertise, experience, and knowledge, the user can bypass their limitations on physical matter and manipulate on a metaphysical level, impacting dimensional, exotic, and supernatural forces.

Applications[]

Basic Level[]

  • Adhesion: Can cause objects/materials to stick together using various means.
  • Binding: Able to use bind, imprison, paralyze, or otherwise stop targets with Physical contact.
  • Telekinetic Mobility: Users can increase their mobility via telekinetic influence.
  • Move objects by other forces rather than muscles/limb strength via tactile means. (Example: moving a cup with the tip of a single finger)
  • Telekinetic Push/Pull: Can use tactile telekinesis to attract or repel objects. (Limited)
  • Telekinetic Strike: Can use telekinesis to punch, push, pull, throw, or kinetically strike a target.

Advanced Level[]

Expert Level[]

Master Level[]

  • Molecular Manipulation: With physical touch, can manipulate molecules, a group of two or more atoms bonded through chemical bonds and the smallest unit of a physical substance or compound.
    • Biological Manipulation: Can manipulate life and living organisms, including but not limited to genetic alterations and physical distortion or augmentations of biological functions.
    • Chemistry Manipulation: Can manipulate chemistry, a discipline in science that is involved with elements and compounds composed of atoms, molecules, and ions.
    • Elemental Manipulation: Can create, shape, and manipulate elements.
    • Self-Molecular Manipulation: Manipulate one's molecular structure to achieve diverse possibilities.
  • Psionic Explosion: Become a living telekinetic explosive by discharging a mass of damaging energy that can eradicate a city, planet, etc.
  • Remote Telekinesis: By telekinetically manipulating an object that is attached to another, for example, if the object is on the ground, the user can command anything that's also on the ground by expanding their telekinetic force as long they're in the same system.
  • Self Supremacy: Fully aware of everything that composes it and has complete control over everything that composes it.
  • Telekinetic Regeneration: Manipulate oneself on a molecular level to restore oneself from cancer, DNA deterioration, wounds, etc.
    • Longevity/Semi-Immortality/Immortality: The user can use tactile telekinesis to use self-biological manipulation to exterminate any toxins in the body, letting one lengthen their lifespan or rewrite themselves entirely.
  • Telekinetic Shapeshifting: Can Shapeshifting by altering their form with Psychokinesis.
  • Telekinetic Teleportation: By diverting one's molecules to another location.
    • Tactile Teleportation: By telekinetically rearranging other objects and entities' molecules to another location.

Associations[]

Limitations[]

  • Depends on the user's understanding and experience with this ability.
  • Might be weakened, nullified, or interrupted by stress, fear, distractions, disbelief, lack of confidence, willpower, etc.
  • Some users may need to activate the power consciously.
  • Unlike regular telekinesis, the user's powers are only helpful if they touch something.
    • The user must be in constant contact with their possession to manipulate it.
  • May need concentration and calmness to perform various and complicated actions accurately, especially abilities near master, ultimate, and absolute levels.
  • Users of Telekinesis Negation and Telekinesis Immunity can oppose and defeat the user.

Trivia[]

  • It is possible for tactile telekinetics to achieve real telekinesis rather than generating a mass tactile telekinetic field surrounding themselves. If theoretically accomplishing massive long-term training and experience, the user can reach master, ultimate, or absolute levels; they can manipulate their telekinetic power via personal superpower manipulation to remove the distance limitation. Enabling them to manipulate matter without tactile interactions anymore freely.
