As we all know there is the magic spell telekinesis, but unlike something like vampiric grip in Dawnguard, why can you not pick up people or move levers in dungeons, only pick up objects at a distance and toss them gently. Just curious if I may be using the power wrong or if there is more to it than I have discovered.

Nope, there isnt much use for it, except for some power leveling. It would be nice if objects thrown with it could actually do good damage to enemies.
