The Science of Psionics, Wednesday
"Last week, we talked about the possible applications of telekinesis," Kerrigan began. They were back in the Danger Shop, this time set up to look like a vast forest. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. Maybe in another life, Kerrigan could have even enjoyed it. "Of course the ability to bat objects around like they're nothing is a very simple, very familiar display of the power, but we can be a little more... subtle... than that."
Her mouth managed a decent simulacrum of a smile. "We'll begin with the molecular level," she said. "If you can bring yourself to be... precise... enough with telekinetic power, there is a whole host of things you can manage. You can make objects crumble at their most basic level - or you can inspire them to... rearrange. Move. With interesting results."
She stretched out a hand. Suddenly, thunder sounded. An arc of lightning came down and buried itself in a tree, shattering a good chunk of it and setting it alight.
Kerrigan dropped her arm easily, and looked back to the class. "We call that the 'psionic storm' effect," she said. "Just one way to think outside the box and realise that we can do more than just fling things about. Today, none of you are doing anything but talk. I know some of you have taken chemistry classes. Physics. You might have experience with types of science we don't know about, or simply have a very active imagination. I want you all to think about this. Given the ability to move things on the molecular level, what could we be capable of? Think of it in terms of 'if we ever manage to harness telekinetic qualities in technological form', if you must. I'm sure there's some friends of quantum mechanics around here."

Mara had done it that way.

This? Was going to require some experimentation.
