Telekinesis (Skyrim)

Telekinesis is an Adept-level Alteration spell in. Telekinesis allows objects to be manipulated and maneuvered without touching them. Grabbed objects may be pulled closer, thrust away, or added to the inventory. Multiple objects may be grabbed if dual-casting; however, these objects must be close together.

Usability

 * Using telekinesis to throw objects at characters causes damage, turning them hostile.
 * Throwing objects at some characters will only cause them to threaten violence, but they never attack.
 * This is a good spell for long range article manipulation.

Leveling hint

 * Telekinesis may be used in conjunction with the Falmer Helmet/ Circlet equipment exploit to increase Alteration extremely fast. At 100 enchanting, a four-piece set of Fortify Alteration gear can be created that results in alteration spells costing no Magicka to cast. At this point, the Alteration skill can increase very quickly when Telekinesis is cast on any item, or it can just be used repeatedly for a slower but still effective way of leveling alteration.

Trivia

 * The Eagle Eye perk from the Archery skill tree influences the range from which items can be detected and manipulated with Telekinesis. If the perk has been applied and the spell equipped, a location can "scoped out" from a distance greater than usual. Good places to test the range before and after acquiring the Perk are the Whiterun and Riften markets.
