If you right click on the ground to activate Telekinesis (level 2), you should be able to then left click on the lever on the other side. Alternately, level 2 Lockpick will let you open the gate.
Playing a warrior I maxed Telekinesis with purchased skill books. I don't have any problem learning skills from other classes, though, and also maxed Lockpick (you can get 2 levels in Verdistis, though need one level first, and another level of Pickpocket, which I got from an equipment bonus).
