Can someone tell me how telekinesis works in Morrowind? How can it be used, and not be used? Does it just let you grab objects from far away? Or will it bring them closer like in Oblivion?

You can activate/take objects from afar, but objects will not move towards your character, and you cannot use telekinesis to move objects in any way. By the way, if a container/door with a trap is opened via telekinesis then the trap's effect won't trigger.

You can pick up and interact with objects from further away. You cannot bring objects closer like Oblivion. You can use it to avoid traps.

Good, that's what I thought, and the way I need to it be. I'm gunna place a key through a gate so only telekinesis can reach it to let the player get through

I feel a "[censored] magnets" joke coming on... >.>
