Mage

Focusing mental concentration on a material object, a psychokinetic mage can move things without touching them.

Game-wise, this feat combines Mind 3 with Forces 2 or higher. The Forces and Weight chart on p. 29 shows what

different Ranks of Forces can move. So long as the mage in question is able to concentrate on the feat, she can levitate or manipulate objects accordingly.

The Storyteller may – as an optional rule – require that the player spends a temporary Willpower point when her mage moves an especially large and/ or heavy target.

The player should, in any case, make a successful Willpower roll in addition to the Arete roll because, after all, the mage is commanding the element through sheer force of will.

Is this vulgar? Often, yes. Obviously, lifting things up into thin air is, at best, highly unusual. Whether or not the feat shades into vulgar magick depends upon how big the object is, how obvious the mage is being about lifting it, and whether she’s using some apparently believable technology (electromagnets, repulser-field hypertech, etc.) in order to do so. Sure, a mage might be able to pass a levitating pencil off as potential psychic phenomena; a levitating bus, on the other hand? Um, no.
