Telekinesis

Telekinesis is Fatekeeper's utility-and-control mechanic. It is not a puzzle-only ability; the Nov 2025 reveal explicitly showed it being used in combat as a primary Combat tool, yanking enemies out of position, hurling objects as damage primitives, and reshaping the encounter space. The Skill Tree includes medium perks that turn Telekinesis into the spine of a build rather than a side option.
The combat applications shown in the deep dive break into three families:
Yank, pull an enemy from cover, off a ledge, or out of a melee group into a clean punish line.
Hurl, pick up an object from the environment (debris, a barrel, a discarded weapon) and throw it as a damage primitive; the projectile counts as physical damage and can stagger.
Redirect, catch an incoming projectile or thrown object mid-flight and return it to the source.
Outside of direct combat Telekinesis is a navigation and puzzle primitive. The dev material has shown it reshaping the player's path through arenas, moving a heavy object to create cover, pulling a switch from a distance, levitating a fragile container instead of carrying it through a fight. The boundary between combat use and environmental use is intentionally soft; the same yank that pulls a switch can yank an enemy off a ledge.
Telekinesis is the third option when a Parrying window has passed and a Dodging iframe is no longer available. A timely yank breaks an enemy's commit before the player has to commit to a defence; a thrown object can interrupt a windup. The reveal footage repeatedly used Telekinesis to break enemy rhythm rather than to deal raw damage.
A yanked enemy is staggered on arrival. That makes Telekinesis a natural setup tool: yank an enemy into a position where a Finishers and Dismemberment prompt is reachable, or where a Shatter follow-up can connect because the frozen target is now in melee range. The conversion economy is what makes Telekinesis attractive to builds that don't pick it as their primary identity, even an incidental yank can rescue an encounter.
Telekinesis is not an unlimited-use tool. The mechanical cost has not been spelled out in detail (mana-coded? cooldown-coded? charge-coded?), so this article does not commit to specific numerics. What the reveal made clear is that Telekinesis cannot be spammed every second of every fight; the player is expected to pick the moment.
Build | Telekinesis Role |
|---|---|
Group encounters are where Telekinesis shines. Yanking the lead attacker out of formation can break a coordinated press; hurling an environmental object into a tight group is a low-stakes opener; redirecting an enemy archer's shot back into their own line punishes ranged formations. The dev footage repeatedly showed these patterns in the same encounters that demonstrate the wider Combat loop, which is why the article treats Telekinesis as a combat tool first.
Heavy frames among Towering Beasts may resist yanks entirely; the dev material has only shown yank-success on humanoid and smaller frames.
Some objects in an environment will be flagged as immovable; Telekinesis is not unconditional.
Resource cost details are hedged until the team publishes them.
Magic-side interactions (does Telekinesis count as a spell? does it scale with magic perks?) are not fully confirmed.
Combat, top-level loop.
Shatter, natural follow-up payoff.
Finishers and Dismemberment, execution layer the yank often sets up.
Parrying / Dodging, the defensive answers Telekinesis sits alongside.
Skill Tree, medium perks that scale Telekinesis.
