He nodded. "True, but without you 'nudging' it back on course, you have to learn to do it with only muscles. What if you meet another telekinesis user, about your own strength? The one who tires first will lose, so the less ability you use, the longer you can last. That is why, despite being able to just blast someone with magic, I still train with weapons, and keep learning new ones.<br/><br/>Besides, you can also learn to throw with telekinesis, in case you end up tied up again. Throw a dagger toward you, then cut yourself loose."<br/><br/>He grinned at Josh, realizing he was enjoying teaching. "You have quite a lot of options, and I am paranoid. You can learn it your way, and<em>probably</em>be perfectly fine for a while."<br/><br/>He only subtly emphasized the word probably, but Josh was smart.
