Telekinesis

**Telekinesis** is the ability to move objects as well as individuals with the mind. It can be channeled through the eyes or hands, the latter being the most common way to use the power. This is one of the most common yet most versatile powers possessed by magical beings, be they good, evil or neutral.

## **Usage in Combat:**

Telekinesis is also an extremely helpful power in close-quarters combat. Very much like Levitation, this power can be used to enhance one's strength and to even slightly defy gravity, which makes telekinesis one of the more versatile powers.

### **Prudence 'Prue' Halliwell:**

Prue started to show acrobatic feats particularly in a fight against demon wrestlers.[15] Prue first used her telekinesis to increase the strength of her blows when she became a man. She also used it to grant herself seemingly superhuman physical attributes when she battled Vinceres. These supernaturally enhanced stunts were seen later when training with the Whitelighter Natalie; Prue used her powers to run up a wall. Then when she faced demonic wrestlers, she was able to jump higher than naturally feasible during the fight; a stunt that even surprised her sister Phoebe who was capable of complete Levitation. In the same fight, Prue performed gravity defying flips and kicks. In an alternate timeline, shortly before her death, an enraged Prue used similar telekinetic punches to the ones she used when turned into a man; sending SWAT members flying outside the room with her magically intensified blows.

### **Billie Jenkins:**

Billie also demonstrated how telekinesis can be used to enhance one's combat skills and agility.[16] She could perform flips, leaps and jumps that would otherwise be impossible for a normal human being to do so without her telekinetic powers while making them look effortless.

## **Powers developed from Telekinesis:**

### **Advanced Telekinesis:**

*Main article: Advanced Telekinesis*
As its name states, this power is an advanced form of Telekinesis. It can allow its user to lift and/or manipulate more than one heavy object at a time. Though it is - in and of itself - not a solely combustive power, it can allow its user to cause explosions of any size by stimulating the heat molecules while moving objects with the mind. It can also allow the user to lift and/or manipulate heavier objects, even more than one at a time.

The very first witch mentioned on screen to possess this power was Brianna, an ancestor of the Charmed Ones. She was noted in the Book of Shadows for separating the Lord of War and his sword by telekinetically moving the latter hundreds of miles away. Prue Halliwell was also shown to have developed this power in the Charmed comics.

### **Telekinetic Materialization:**

*Main article: Telekinetic Materialization*
Just like the power of Telekinetic Orbing, this power allows the user to use telekinesis to teleport objects from one place to another. However, unlike psychokinesis, this power has visual requirements, as the user has to see which object they want to move and where they want to teleport it to.

## P**owers Similar to Telekinesis:**

### **Astral Projection****:**

**Piper**: "*What the hell just happened?*"
**Prudence 'Prue'**: "*I don't know. I think it was some sort of astral projection.*"
**Piper**: "*How did you do it?*"
**Prudence 'Prue'**: "*I don't know. I just felt this desperate need for there to be two of me and all of a sudden there was.*"
**Piper**: "*Do you think this is part of your powers growing?*"
**Prudence 'Prue'**: "*Maybe. I mean, if I can move things with my mind, why not my body.*"
— Piper and Prue after discovering her new power
*Main article: Astral Projection*
This power is considered an advancement of telekinesis for certain witches. It allows them to *move* out of their own body, thus create an astral form of themselves. While in *"astral mode"*, powers are dormant. However, some advanced users have mastered the skill to use their powers when astral projecting, such as Prue did when her powers were boosted by Empathy.

### **Telekinetic Orbing:**

*Main article: Telekinetic Orbing*
This is a hybrid combination of Orbing and Telekinesis. When the user wants to move an object, they will have to call out its name. The object will then disappear in orbs and reappear in the user's hands or any place the user desires. This is the primary power of Paige Matthews, who possessed this power due to her Whitelighter hertiage.

### **Black Telekinetic Orbing:**

*Main article: Black Telekinetic Orbing*
This is a hybrid combination of telekinesis and Black Orbing. This ability can be triggered through verbal comands allowing the user to move objects in which it disappear in a flurry of black orbs. The only known users of this ability are Darklighter-Witches.

### **Psychokinesis:**

*Main article: Psychokinesis*
This power allows the user to move things they cannot see with the power of their mind. Psychokinetics are even able to affect complex machinery whose inner workings are foreign to them. A young witch named Max Franklin was a psychokinetic, just like his mother. When Max used his power, he went into a trance-like state.

## **Notes:**

* Prue was the only naturally telekinetic being to be seen channeling the power through her eyes until the Source channeled it through his eyes in "Charmed Again, Part 2". All other magical beings who have naturally possessed telekinesis channeled it through hands. The witch Brianna was stated to exclusively channel her telekinesis through her hands, meaning that she could be rendered helpless if her hands were bound.
* In the original Charmed series, after Prue learns to channel her power through her hands, she channels her power through her eyes five more times; in "Witch Trial", "The Devil's Music", "P3 H2O", "Give Me a Sign", and "Sight Unseen".
* Although Prue couldn't use her hands in the beginning to channel her power, in the Unaired Pilot she uses her finger to close the front door. In the aired pilot she closes the front door using her eyes. The unaired version of the scene was used in the opening credits for the first three seasons.
* Although Prue wasn't able to channel her power through hands in early Season 1 on her own command, she channeled it in first episode, when she almost choke Roger with his tie, by a hands movement.
* In "Scry Hard"', when Zankou used telekinesis to deviate a bunch of potions thrown at him, a small shockwave is seen trailing the potions as they are redirected.

* All of the Charmed Ones, except for Prue and Paige who were born with them, have possessed telekinetic abilities at least once in their lives; Piper when she became a Valkyrie, and Phoebe when she had switched powers with Prue, when she became a warlock and when she copied Piper's Valkyrie powers through her Empathy power.
* Some users of Telekinesis have shown to be able to unfreeze those who are frozen by Molecular Immobilization. Prue unfroze Inspector Rodriguez and Grams unfroze Andy.
* When a witch uses telekinesis (save for Grams, Chris, Wyatt, Richard and Simon), there is always a sound effect usually resembling that of a high-pitched ring or whistle. However, when another being uses telekinesis (such as demons, valkyries, Shiva etc.), you can only hear the sound of an object moving rapidly through the air. Any being that acquired Prue's telekinesis also would have the same sound effect as Prue would.
* This is the last power seen onscreen used by Prudence 'Prue', one of Piper's granddaughters.
* When Phoebe possessed this power after she switched powers with Prue, she didn't like it very much and found it difficult to use, but when she was a warlock, although she used it on only one occasion, she showed master control over it.
* This ability was used multiple times on the manor door during finale episodes of seasons 1 ,2, 5 and 8.
* In "Valhalley of the Dolls, Part 2", when Piper used telekinesis as a Valkyrie, the sound effect was that of her explosive power.
* Telekinesis was the last used power in the show and comic.
