Notes on Red Magic – Telekinesis

Compiled and commented by Albert Weaver

“Mind over matter, but matter fights back.”

—Proverb among telekinetic novices, Breeze Years

Telekinesis is the classic. You lift a cup, you catch a falling book, you send a rock flying across a battlefield. Easy to try, impossible to truly master.

[Field Log – Workshop Observation, Breeze Years]

“Apprentice telekinetic struggled with steady grip on delicate glassware. Senior caster demonstrated fine control—manipulated a hummingbird cage without breaking a feather.”

Speed, precision, strength—all tied to the caster’s skill and mana pool. Lift a mug? Child’s play. Toss a boulder? Needs focus and stamina. Hold a person midair? That’s a feat few sustain for long.

[Interview – Veteran Caster “Lena”]

“It looks like magic, but it’s muscle and willpower. Your mind’s pulling weight you can’t see. Push too hard, you lose control. Push too soft, it slips away. Balance is everything.”

Telekinesis is versatile—helping hands in the kitchen, a shield in combat, a tool in construction. But overreach can snap the caster’s concentration or their connection to the object.

[Incident Report – Market Accident]

“Caster attempted to levitate a cart during festival rush. Lost grip; cart crashed into stalls, injuring two bystanders. Recommended stricter training protocols.”

Albert’s note:

“Telekinesis is less about raw power and more about finesse. It’s the magic of connection—between mind, mana, and matter.”
