Telekinesis is an Arcane magic associated with the alteration of physics around a single, or plethora of objects, effectively making them float.

Basic Understandings
Telekinesis is the direct lifting of objects. The telekinetic temporarily changes how gravity act on objects. This change like in Evocation fades rapidly after levitation. The telekinetic may chose to remove the alteration. A large rock for example would instantly drop, whereas a pebble would drop/float down slowly (Still not staying up for an extended period of time) unless the telekinetic removed the alteration. This like all other types of arcane magic alters things in a way not natural to this world, and thus disappear. This therefore renders the creation of artificially floating objects in perpetual floating state without the focus of a mage impossible.
Objects lifted by telekinesis must be solid as the telekinetic can not possibly focus on a liquid and move it as there are simply too many particles to focus on. The same can be applied to gases such as the air and multitudes of small objects such as dirt. This in it’s own way separates it from Evocation and Elementalism.
A telekinetic must focus on a single object in order to grab it. This makes the manipulation of moving objects much harder as it is more difficult for the mage to focus on the single point. However, this does not make it impossible. Mages of greater degree of mastery over telekinesis are able to manipulate objects in motion to a greater degree. Where an amateur telekinetic may be unable to redirect even a rock thrown in his direction a master may be able to control this rock (assuming it is not traveling at incredible speeds and is not very larger), and even redirect fast moving objects or particularly large moving objects.
When it comes to the difficulty of manipulating an object there are a few factors which influence the difficulty:
- Speed of motion [The faster an object is traveling the harder it is to focus on. This does not mean a quickly moving object is impossible to manipulate, simply that it is harder. For example a tier 4 telekinetic might not be able to manipulate fully arrows being shot at him, however he may be able to change their trajectory so they do not hit him.]
- Number of objects manipulated at once [More objects being lifted makes such lifting more difficult. This makes the manipulation of liquids and gasses essentially impossible (albeit perhaps a telekinetic could make a tiny ripple in a tiny puddle). Solids like dirt and sand with many particles are also essentially useless to manipulate because of this.]
- Size and weight of object [Obviously a heavier object is harder to lift than a lighter one.]
Objects with a changing surface area which are not entirely solid, such as living creatures are essentially impossible to lift.
Another special rule within telekinesis is that telekinetics do not face the same difficulties in manipulating a moving object, when it is already being manipulated by another telekinetic. This may be called ‘cooperative telekinesis’ and essentially means telekinetics can fight over and lift objects more easily together.
Red Lines
Manipulating living things, liquids or gasses. Plants do not fall into this category.
Lifting more than one's character would be able to do.
Stopping arrows in the air and sending them back at the person who fired it. One may redirect arrows in many directions but never fully stop something going at that speed.
