    This spell is supposed to allow you to open containers from a distance. Why doesn't it work properly on this server?

    On a positive note, it does at least open doors from a distance, like it's supposed to.

    I've had no issues using it. I've disarmed dozens of t-chest traps from a distance with it.

    It's not supposed to just disarm chests. It's supposed to open the chest.

    If you can open them by double-clicking on them, Telekinesis will open them. But if you're within reach anyways, it's pointless.

    Telekinesis is supposed to allow you to open a chest or door from across the room.

    However, you wouldn't see the container's contents from there. You can open doors from across the room just fine and I'm sure chests as well, you're just not close enough to see the contents. I don't think that would make sense anyway.

    This was not my recollection. Testable on the Demo though.

    Eww, yeah, I guess this is a bug and the thread should move. I just tested on a bag in my house and even within reach I can't open it with Tele.

    ^^^ Correct. The people saying you can open bags are wrong. This needs to be fixed.

    And of course it makes sense to see farther than you can reach. Eyes function over greater distances than hands.

    My two cents: :)

    Back in the day, I believe you could also move light weight items with telekinesis spell. Not sure if that option was taken
    out prior to Ren era or was still part of the spell usage.


    thanks

    Yeah you could light candles and things with it from a distance.

    Not so much a bug, just post UOR functionality. I've added this to my review list.

    I also want to be able to cast magic trap and magic lock on public doors!

    just sayin' i thought it was an awesome way to give yourself a perimeter alarm.
