Technopathy vs Telepathy vs Telekinesis vs Magnetism

I don't think any of these powers would result in you being worshiped like a god, a much more likely scenario is that you would be deemed a threat. No government is going to leave someone who could potentially put the world in a headlock and upturn the power structure over night, alone to party and get rich off their abilities... or aid their enemies. If you went public and could prove the existence of anyone of these abilities, someone - likely many someones all over the world - would decide you were too dangerous to live.

Noone would even know someone was manipulating them with telepathy.

I don't think we're on the same wavelength. I'm saying you don't have to actively extract much information from the minds of people to achieve your goals. Assuming your telepathy is high enough, you only to tell them what to do.

With technopathy, you'd have to do more work than that. You're dealing with seas of information directly rather than telling someone else to do it.

It all strives in whatever you plan to do with your powers. Personally I do fine without them, but technopathy would prove more useful for me personally, gathering information is cool because I can already think uses for the information, while bending people to my will in order to have "everything I want" wouldn't really give me everything I want, because my personal goals aren't defined from what others can "give me" as much as the things I "can do".

In the end I think technopathy is more of a personal boost than telepathy.

i use my TP, TK, magnetic and Technopathy to make an honest living as an artist in my home selling my works of art using my powers as the bases..

i would literally paint my world around me in brilliant colors via using my powers..

TK paint strokes.....

technopathic electronic art.

magnetic wave colors on canvas

TP emotional spectrum and insight of my mind on canvas..

that would be honest application of my powers but no financial security

That's cool. Keep in mind, I'm not arguing your choice. I'm just saying telepathy would be easier/quicker initially. All these powers could achieve much of the same things, depending on their level though.

could make a killing playin craps or roulette using TK

it was an okay movie...

i could also stop the lottery balls with practice or just stop the slot machines on triple 7.

it have to be non electronic since they would register as a glitch but it still works on old slots with no chips in them.

For selfish or altruistic purposes, anyone with the goal of actually altering the status quo in a significant manner would have an easier time with TP.

There is no altruistic propose that can be fulfilled with tp 😉

I like the Dresden Files interpretation of tp (in this case mind magic) where even mind manipulation for altruistic purposes/good intentions leaves people scarred.

No negative side effects whatsoever. 😛

Bada, its too late to cap power levels correct?

I want to cap it to HH or lower.
