The definition of telekinesis is far movement. Moving something that is far away from you with your mind. That is the long and the short of it. You create a force which affects the object and moves the object. That's it. If you want to get into real world physics on it I guess you could say you are altering its kinetic potential to change direction and move?Do you think the telekinesis spell has magic tentacles jumping out of your head? Or only functions because every rock you could possibly use telekinesis on is automatically magical?If that's the case, do rocks count as magic improvised weapons when you fling them at a giant's head?It doesn't require a mind to be attached to the rock for a supernatural power to move the rock. Nor does it require some sort of magical function to be attached to the rock for magic to move a rock.I get that 5e is big on the idea of the weave, but it is a really limiting perspective. Psionic telekinesis is just you making an object move using a force at a distance. You're not interacting with the thing's mind, as that would be telepathy!</blockquote>
