More fun with telekinesis: some for Kelly, some for NPC, some technikal, some not so technikal - is party for whole family 
keptic:
Point-Source Explosion: requires telekinesis, ranged-materialize proficiency, area attack proficiency, 3+ ATK (600 OM)
By concentrating on a single point in space within his line of sight (or the range of his enhanced senses) and stretching it along a fourth-dimensional axis in order to build up tension, Kelly can then release that tension to create a highly disruptive shockwave in 'real' space, resembling the surface of a rapidly-expanding soap bubble. In order to build enough tension for a noticeable explosion, Kelly must concentrate for a minimum of 0.5 seconds, which will result in a spherical burst that expands to 1.5 meters in diameter at several times the speed of sound before dissipating, with a maximum force at the center capable of shattering a 2-inch thick wooden plank. The force of the blast is constant within a 0.3 meter radius, falling off by percentages after that - 50% distance to the outer edge = 50% of the maximum force.
If this attack is charged for longer than 0.5 seconds, it becomes more powerful, and the radius of the explosion increases. At a 1 second charge, the shockwave is powerful enough to break soft marble, and the blast-zone increases to 2 meters. At 2 seconds, it can crack concrete (diameter 2.5 meters), and at the maximum charge time of 2.5 seconds it can dent steel plating (2.75 meters diameter). The rules for force-distribution-by-distance remain constant.
Point-Source explosions are difficult to generate. Kelly can't take any other action while charging this attack, including movement, as it requires his total concentration. The charge-time can be interrupted - although notably, if he's already achieved the minimum charge-time, the attack will still go off - just in an uncontrolled fashion, at half it's usual minimum potency. The energy cost is also very high. At the minimum charge time, it's the equivalent of a fit man having run a mile - breathing hard and slightly fatigued, but still capable of taking prompt action - though repeated uses stack accordingly. Each second of charge doubles this effect (2 mile run at 1.5 - slightly winded, would prefer to go sit down. Four mile run at 2.5 - tired, slow to react.) If he uses the attack at full charge, he cannot use it again for the rest of the fight.
Kelly cannot change the location he has chosen for Point-source explosion once he has begun to charge it. While charging, the area that will become the blast-radius stretches and smears, expanding as the charge builds, the line-of-sight view through that space vanishing towards the focus-point. Being in or passing through the location of the in-progress charge isn't harmful. It feels like the universe is licking you aggressively on the inside of your skin (very uncomfortable, but not actually painful or dangerous).
With a Wave of my Hand!: requires telekinesis, ranged proficiency, area attack proficiency, 3+ ATK (300 OM)
By sweeping their hand disparagingly through the air, a sufficiently powerful psychic can send their opponents flying. This attack requires a one second wind-up, in order for the user to draw a hand across their body, palm facing the opposite ear as though chambering a perfectly-formed pimp-slap (naturally, the sweep is backhanded; For maximum SCORN!)
When the arm is swung (which takes about 1/10th of a second), anyone standing within a 180 degree arc in front of the user (within the range of their telekinesis and the plane of the swing) is pushed violently backwards, as though kicked hard in the chest by someone extremely powerful (users ATK score). If a targets DEF equals or exceeds the user's ATK, the effect is negligible, though if their TEC is lower than 2 they may still stumble. This attack deals no actual damage, unless a target hurts themselves falling (or the users ATK exceeds a targets DEF by 3 or more, in which case the damage is equivalent to being struck barehanded by someone with the user's ATK -2), and takes minimal energy to perform (though repeated uses will wind the psychic quickly, as flailing ones arms about wildly is wont to do.)
I WILL CRUSH YOU: Requires ranged materialize proficiency, area attack proficiency, 4+ ATK (600 OM)
A highly dramatic attack for the seriously annoyed mentat. The user throws one or both hands in the air and declares their intent in suitably dramatic fashion, which takes a minimum of 1 second (if they go with just 'Die'!) and a maximum of 4 seconds (if they say the whole thing, and dwell on the YOOUU). During this time, a plane of force three meters square and infinitely thin forms horizontally above the target, visible as a slight distortion in the air. The user then swings their hand (or hands) groundward, and the plane descends at the speed of a bullet, smashing the victim into the ground with tremendous force.
This attack is interruptable by a solid blow, both during the charge and during the execution.
The exact strength of the attack depends mostly on the user's ATK score - as though they were somehow leg-pressing a giant manhole cover down on the target's head. At the maximum charge time, the force of impact only goes up by about 20%.
This attack is inefficient, and thus very draining, and can be performed only three times without rest.
