Sure, but what if telepathic powers somehow affect your brain chemistry or morphology? Aside, Would flying be like manipulating gravity or lifting yourself up with an “invisible hand”?
Is it just local to yourself? How do you control what it applies to? You’ll have train for weightlessness. Plus what is it against? The earth being a object is not something gravity cares about
With full, discrete control of gravity, even if it’s just localized to your body, you would become the deadliest person on earth. You would be invulnerable to physical impact. Your touch could crush any object. You would be literally unstoppable.
If the power is wider ranging? Well now. Youre a magneto level threat, or more if you want to get into the “can make blackholes” side of things.
How would you harm anything else if it was local to your body? Like you could apply really strong gravity between you and it, but that would kill you too unless it’s an ant
Your body would have to be entirely or largely immune to the effects of the gravity power to not be crushed by it in general. You certainly wouldn’t be able to fly, the basic “wish,” if your body was hammered by G forces every time you lifted off.
Since you need some level of immunity, just applying “gravity” to your body then applying your body to other things would excert that force on them.
You don’t have to fly around at 3G. Just set it to 0 and you’re floating. 0.1G and you’re gently accelerating upwards.
Actually even at 3G you wouldn’t be hammered by anything. You’re thinking of like cars or whatever that accelerate you and your body’s momentum resists. With gravity control, every atom of your body would accelerate. I’m kinda guessing here, but I’m pretty sure you’d feel nothing. In fact the main issue would be adjusting to not feel gravity while flying around, like I said earlier
In order to use telepathy, we’ll need to add a new section to your brain. Would you like to shrink the other sections of your brain to make room, or would you like a bigger brain? Oh, you want a bigger brain? Well, now we need to expand your head. Would you prefer an egghead or do you want the whole thing to grow? It will also come at the cost of requiring more energy.
Can we put a small brain annex in my abdominal cavity to handle the additional workload? It seems like the autonomic functions could safely be relocated there.
Is that a deliberate conscience telepathic effort, or automatic unconscious reflex? (eg. Perhaps you don’t want to accidentally hover or float in public.)
ok well moving an object still requires energy, so you’re gonna need the increased metabolism perk. We’ll have to increase blood flow to the brain, oh and it’ll need to be increased in mass a lot…how do you feel about a tall head?
Ok, so ‘telepathic will’ more or less means that you’re projecting your will into someone’s mind. Telekinesis at will is a very different thing, and it implies at will (with the mind without physical touch).
I would have just taken telepathic will so that it just ends there.
Yeah why would you take wings over telekinetics that’s wild
Aesthetics? 🤷🏻♂️
Have fun putting on any sort of shirt.
You don’t need a genie to get prop wings on your back.
I imagine with telekinetics you need to concentrate real hard on not falling.
With wings you can just (heh) wing it much more safely.
Just wear a glider jumpsuit so you can just ascend up with telekinesis and then glide the rest
Can I get the telekinetic head-exploding powers of Victoria Neuman from The Boys?
Also, can I get a list of events where certain politicians will be speaking in front of large public audiences? Asking for a friend.

The gravity manipulation is much better if they are handing out options.
What’s the Roche limit of the ground you’re standing on?
But the giant invisible hand probably allows for more intuative fine control plus its just more satisfying if you want to smash something.

Finding out all of the above is part of the fun.

You’d still feel acceleration. Even if every cell of your body was accelerated evenly there’s still lots of non-living matter sloshing around.

So… You’re saying I can eat more? Say no more!!

Dude ‘‘magic’’ doesn’t require anything.

How much energy does telepathy use though?

Some how this ended up with erectile dysfunction…
You mean “telpthic will power”.
You’re the second person to use ‘telepathic will’ in these comments and both times are vague as to what that means.
Telekinesis that I can control at will.
Ok, so ‘telepathic will’ more or less means that you’re projecting your will into someone’s mind. Telekinesis at will is a very different thing, and it implies at will (with the mind without physical touch).
Just my two cents, it confused me - is all.
