One of the few traditions that has almost universally arisen from natural talent rather than formal training, Telekinesis magic grants its user the ability to move and manipulate objects and creatures by thought alone.
Whether crushing a foe in a mental grip or erecting an impassable barrier of telekinetic force, spells from this tradition allow the caster to create invisible force from the mind and use that force to change his or her environment.
Telekinesis is a psychic tradition. When you discover it, you gain access to the Focus Mind talent.
Focus Mind You can use an action to focus your mind. Make an Intellect or Will challenge roll. On a success, your mind becomes focused for 1 minute, or until you become dazed, stunned, or unconscious. While your mind is focused, you can cast any spell you have learned from a psychic tradition without needing to speak or wield an implement. In addition, when you cast psychic spells while your mind is focused, you can expend a second casting of the spell to cast it using a triggered action on your turn instead of using an action.
