If it's a cage, those inside can try to escape through the bars on their turn. If it's a box, matter and sound cannot penetrate the walls and the cage cannot be entered or escaped via nonmagical means. In either case, they must make an arcana + charisma saving throw during their escape attempt. If they fail, they must wait out the hour.


Sphere of Annihilation
Telekinesis 5
FP test - Telekinesis + charisma
TN 40
Action: Half Action
Keyword: Attack, Ranged Touch, Saving Throw, Somatic, Verbal
Duration: 5 rounds maximum; Concentration (half action)

You conjure a featureless black sphere of nothingness within 20m that disintegrates almost anything it touches and pulls in whatever it hasn't.

• It flies up to 10m per round and attacks the creature or object you indicate. You must actively direct the sphere on your action to move it to a new target; this requires a move-equivalent action on your part. Each round on their turn, creatures within a 55m radius of the sphere (with the exception of one person of the caster's nomination), must make a TN 20 dexterity test or be pulled 10m towards the center of the gravity well and lose their actions. Creatures pulled in this fashion do not provoke attacks of opportunity. A successful save means the creature is only pulled 2m towards the center, but may take actions as normal, though if they remain in the radius, they must make another save on their next round.
  
  
• Any creature that is pulled to within 2m of the gravity wells center must make a TN 25 dexterity test to avoid being sucked into the center of the gravity well and suffering 5k5 damage. This damage ignores aura, armor, miscellaneous damage-reducing effects, and uses the base resilience to calculate. A successful save means the creature may move 3m away from this danger zone, and can otherwise preform actions as normal. Anything killed by this spell doesn't just die; they're gone. There is no body to recover.
  
  
• If the sphere is directed to strike an object or part of an object, it disintegrates the 2m-radius sphere it occupies. The sphere may destroy one creature, object, or sphere of matter per round, provided it is directed to a suitable target.

Telekinetic Kill
Telekinesis 5
FP Test- Telekinesis + charisma
TN 35
Action- half action
Keywords: attack, combo-ok, saving throw, somatic, subtle
Duration- concetration (half action)

You can kill people with your brain. This is what you wanted, right? Snap necks, crush windpipes, etc. Deal 1 critical impact damage to the head or body of the target, and does so each turn you sustain the spell. The target resists with arcana + willpower, and may resist at the end of each of their turns, ending the spell on a success.


Tempest
Telekinesis 5
FP Test- Telekinesis + charisma
TN 35
Action- half action
Keywords: attack, somatic
Duration- concentration (full action)

The caster creates a whirlwind that creates a miniature tornado in the area. An area with a 1d10m radius centered on the caster depending on space whips up wind, lifting whatever objects under 5 kg and reducing visibility to within the whirlwind. Ballistics and throwing suffer a -1k0 penalty in this area and everyone in it must pass a TN 15 strength roll or only be able to take a half action on their turn.

[Traskus]

Disarm now works off strength and not willpower.
Force movement now pushes extra distance based on target's failure, not caster's success.
Phantom weapon only uses the caster's charisma instead of twice it.
Greater invisible hand now has a hard cap and needs two raises per bonus.
Removed phantom weapon.

Fly now has a maximum of 1 target at a time. So uh, don't cast it while someone else is flying.
Shards is now an all-or-nothing attack.

Would Throw get any benefit from throwing proficiency or the improvisational feats

[Amanojyaku]

Throw has the Ranged Touch keyword, so no.

[asher]

Aw drag it’s still really good though I just wanted to know if I could break it

[Traskus]

You know what? Go for it. If you can word it to make sense and it isn’t bullshit op I’ll even incorporate it.

[Traskus]

Added range to invisible hand.

Removed diassemble/reassemble. Replaced with forcecage.

10 down, 6 to go.

Testicular torsion
Telekinesis 3
FP Test- Telekinesis + charisma
TN 25
Action- half action
Keywords: attack, Combo-OK, ranged touch, somatic, subtle
Duration: Instant

You concentrate your telekinetic powers to cause unbearable pain on a target by scrambling their most delicate internal organs. The effects works like the Stun spell with increased range, but the target also stumbles and vomits, falls prone to the ground and suffers 1 level of fatigue.

SPOILER: Click to show

Fluff wise the spell needs not target literally the testicles. For example, should the spell target a female target name changes to "Ovaric Torsion" and the same effects apply. If this spell targeted a female player character and the player acted smug implying they would be unnafected then they get a check on their test to resist.

Telekinetic kill isn’t just force choke, y’know.

The basic idea was a lower level telekinetic kill. But eh, even if mechanically its just "upgraded stun" I guess it was too much of a meme

[Traskus]

Edited restrain more like hold person/monster and made telekinetic kill a saving throw instead of a ranged touch.
