(Read: I wanted to do this right away but procrastinated until now.)
I think I've come up with a great overhaul to the telekinesis spell. Multiple tiers, better damage, all that good stuff. A bit of information before reading on: Damage multiplier means the weight, or damage value, of the item you grabbed is multiplied by that when thrown. Bows and staves should use their weight when thrown. Weight Limit means no object above that weight can be lifted with that spell.
Apprentice
-Weakest version of telekinesis: Smallest range, lowest carry weight, and weakest damage.
-Ability to throw equipped arrows?
Single Cast: [Damage x .5] [Weight Limit = 10] [Range = 5m] [Items = 1]
Double Cast: [Damage x 1] [Weight Limit = 15] [Range = 10m] [Items = 3]
Adept
-Ability to throw equipped arrows?
-Ability to open doors, turn valves, pull levers, etc.?
Single Cast: [Damage x 1.5] [Weight Limit = 25] [Range = 15m] [Items = 1]
Double Cast: [Damage x 2] [Weight Limit = 30] [Range = 20m] [Items = 4]
Expert
-Ability the throw equipped arrows?
-Ability to open doors, turn valves, pull levers, etc.?
-Ability to pickpocket and lockpick at range?
-Unlimited range?
-Unlimited weight?
-Ability to take equipped weapon of opponent?
Single Cast: [Damage x 2.5] [Items = 1]
Double Cast: [Damage x 3] [Items = 5]
Master
-Requires being dual cast
-Lifts most NPCs, excluding dragons and other large beings
-Limitless range
-Does not have abilites of previous telekinesis spells
In addition to these new telekinesis spells, I had a few thoughts on other new spells and uses in relation to them.
Conjure Quiver / Magickal Quiver
Basically, either a conjuration spell that gives you a quiver for a limited time with unlimited arrows
OR
A magical (Aedric/Daedric?) artifact that uses magicka instead of arrows when equipped with a bow.
Wards and Telekinesis
Firstly, if it wasn't obvious, thrown objects should not count as magical when hitting a ward.
Secondly, I think a cool dual cast would be using a ward and telekinesis to deflect incoming spells at the attackers.
Well, that's all I've got for now. I'm kind of excited to either have these ideas praised or torn apart and replaced by better ones. :3
