Just a couple questions:

How do you intend figuring out the IR sequence for a remote?  TK would not give you the ability to see in the IR... also, reproducing the signal, even if you're capable of generating an IR photon pulse, is probably beyond the capability of human timing due to the speed involved.

How would you "alter a canvas directly" to write on it?  Unless you're going to burn letters into it, there's not really anything in white paper or in a blank canvas that can be altered to give it a color, other than "charred", that I'm aware of.  If there is, it would be advanced chemistry...

I will also say that it may seem easier to absorb energy than to stop it, but think about what's involved:  The psionic "blast" has enough energy to harm, which means that in order for you to absorb it, first you have to slow it down.  You have to take it to a point where it will not harm you when it touches you.  Then you have to figure out a way to "re-tune" the energy, which was initially against you, to work for you.  This may be as simple as redirecting its flow, but it's still energy expended.  Once you've done all that, only then can you absorb the energy.  It occurs to me at this point that you've probably expended more energy than you're absorbing... and certainly more than just stopping it.  Deflection is the easiest way to handle it, but it leaves the energy intact to hurt something else...

Just some thoughts...

...basically what they are saying is you are prolly talking about several different powers and a whole lot of practice to be able to do a few things most people would be too busy getting rich or destroying enemies at this skill and power level to even bother....not saying some people wouldn't    

but if you had that kind of control you could be not getting into sooooo much trouble doing things you weren't supposed to and never being caught.

From a physics standpoint:  If you remove an object's kinetic energy, you have removed its motion, because kinetic energy is energy of motion.  Thus, you have removed its momentum, because momentum is mass x velocity, and since it no longer has a velocity, it doesn't have a momentum.

The thing is, how would you actually DO this?  You would have to have "invented" some psionic mechanism, similar to the brakes on an electric car, that recharge the batteries when you are applying braking pressure.  I have no idea how you'd pull that off for an actual object.  If you're talking about a pure energy attack, that is just as sticky an issue... how would you absorb said energy?  It's not clear there's any way to actually achieve this, whereas fighting force against force is a simple concept.

Also, (shameless plug alert!) in Dragonseekers, when fighting the dragon, Don did absorb / redirect energy through his own system, instead of blocking it.

thoughts?

that was artie in the comic he talked by projecting psycic holograms in the movies i beleive he was a technokinetic/technopath but im not sure

sorry bout the spelling tonight we're really tierd for som reason

I haven't seen it...

hey Net are you sure it isn't "Blessed are the leeches for they shall inherit the earth"....cause that seems closer to how the world's been turning...you know what I mean?

...and jefferson stop that crying right now...get in there and take whatever Transvader does to you like a Man *hurridly counting money while stuffing it in a bag*  ...um now I've...um got to go to an appointment...to see um....somebody....gotta go bye

...but I was gonna use this money to pay my bar tab 

Thats just not nice.....I knew anybody that didn't like surviving humans and AI's as much as Siath seems to not, must be mean ....BUT this just isn't right taken a man's hard earned and slightly stolen money like that....He's just lucky I'm passive aggressive by nature...I'll just sit here and bitch in my drink all to myself.....and try not to bother anybody else

Speaking of psychic sheild I like the way Selfavatar did one for alan in "The Story of Alan"   Tess just pushed thought energy out and created a thought shell....later Alan just wrapped the same kind of energy (maybe just energy or thought energy or telekinetic energy can't really remember ) around himself creating a bubble around himself...which he could also accelerate super fast using his thoughts...It had some cool uses of powers in the story...It's still going as far as I know...at that other place if Selfavatar didn't leave that is
