Telekinesis: the ability to move stuff just by thinking at it really hard. Although [[Pstandard Psychic Pstance|hand gestures]] can also help.

Note that the term "mind over matter" originally had ''nothing'' to do with telekinesis, it was coined in reference to what Tropers would call [[Heroic Willpower]] (or maybe [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]); the mind forcing the body beyond its normal limits.

**Homura, from demonstrates the ability to use telekinesis in her fight against Walpurgisnacht. Whenever she used it, she was close to the objects in question. Plus considering she had obviously been preparing for a while, there might be other unseen limitations, like needing to touch the objects at some point before being able to use telekinesis on them. In the fight she also only used it on vehicles (a liquid fuel transport truck and some Type 88 Surface-to-Ship Missile). So it's possible that a lot of it is like driving. It never looks like she is straining herself when she used this ability. On a possibly related note, she was able to anchor herself to the fuel truck when she made it take a sharp turn.
**For her part, Walpurgisnacht lifts skyscrapers off their foundations and throws them.
