Difference between telekinesis

I'm thinking that this power only lets objects hover upwards, and works by lessening the effect of gravity upon things. So when gravity doesn't work so much on a 1-ton boulder, it's really not 1 ton anymore. The mass stays the same, but the weight is reduced a whole lot. Sort of how when Zane melts toasters, the temperature stays the same, but the state of matter is changed. But again, these are just ideas. --Piemanmoo 19:32, 5 February 2008 (EST)

  • I sort of agree with you there. I don't think it's really levitating the object, because Abu was lifting the boulder physically (at least, it sure looked like it). If it was levitation, he would have been able to lift it without touching it, but that's what TK does. So it would seem you're right, it's more like lessening the gravity of the object. --Yamawhata? 19:41, 5 February 2008 (EST)
