You can pickup stuff from affar, therefore your char does need to walk less, making picking up much quicker and also it looks quite awesome. But regarding the fact that social points got separated and are really scarce, you will hardly take Telekinesis, except if it is on an anyway good equipment.
Right. If the ONLY thing Telekinesis lets you do is pick up stuff from slightly farther away and move/take heavy items, then it is too narrow a niche for it to be picked as a civil ability. You'll get a higher benefit from just about every other civil ability. So either buff it or remove it.
