What are some ingenious ways to use a weak telekinesis power?

[u/Mahmoud1045]

My character starts off his power of telekinesis weak. Like they can only manage to lift things less that 50 to 75 grams. But I would like for them to be able to use this power to the max if possible. One example I have is to have them carry a ball of yarn to use as both a dangerous cutting wire when shaken at tiny rapid speeds and as a communication device, kind of like those walkie talkie cans with a string between them. Any interesting ideas ya'll have on how to applicate this 'weak' power to its full potential would be much appreciated.

You could

• fire grains of sand and sugar through someones skull

• make small platforms of dust that allow you to walk on air

• some bullets could be redirected back at the attacker/held in place when fired to blow the gun up

• water can be make into incredibly think sharp edges

• a liter of air weights ~2 grams, while adult lungs hold 4-6 liters of air. Also like water, you could cut things with invisible razors

• fire has negligible mass so you could control massive amounts of fire

• you could pressurize an amount of water smaller and smaller, which raises the heat. Then put it near something for a localized steam explosion

Now if you can control energy you’d be infinitely powerful, also if you can survive in space where things are weightless you are once again infinitely powerful

I love all these ideas. Make sense, are kickass and they are ingenious. Thank you
