Telekinesis is a type of psionic power. It is the ability to move, manipulate, and otherwise exert force on physical matter using one's mind, allowing the mind to be used as a weapon.
Overview
Terrans
Telekinesis is a relatively rare psionic power for terrans, at least when compared with telepathy. Few terrans possess psionic powers and even fewer possess telekinesis, requiring a PI of at least 8 to possess it. Those who do so become the most powerful of ghosts and are referred to as "teeks."[1]
Nova Terra gets headaches whenever she uses her telekinetic abilities, though this is the exception for terran teeks rather than the rule.[2] Using telekinesis, she was able to "fry" brains, jam firearms, send objects flying through the air, and levitate to an extent.[1]
Delta Emblock possesses telekinesis, despite having a PI of 7, rather than the supposedly required 8,[3] while Tanya Caulfield possessed a 5.1.[4]
Terran telekinesis carries unique characteristics not found in protoss.[5]
Protoss
At least some protoss are telekinetics.[6] A strong connection with the Khala gives a Khalai the ability to levitate.[7] High templar have been observed to levitate.[8][9]

Tal'darim warriors such as Highlord Alarak have exhibited the ability to use telekinesis to manipulate enemies and allies on the battlefield.[10]
Zerg
Sarah Kerrigan retained her telekinetic abilities as the Queen of Blades.[11] In primal form, she demonstrated the ability to levitate.[12] Overlords also possess telekinesis, specifically a weak telekinetic ability that, along with helium-filled gas sacs, they used to propel themselves.[13]
