no no they really arent. telekinesis is the movement of objects with the mind. soul manipulation is more like control over life force. you can make ppl feel things that arent there by dinking with their nerves or alter their emotions same with empathy but no need to exert it to make them feel it. its alot easier use soul manipulation to change emotion than empathy. assuming you know both. soul manipulation tajes a long time to learn. You can also crush someone insudebt tightening their life force around their heart. it is one of the few abilities i can safely say has potential to do damage or even kill.

im not sure why SM is considered a kinesis. its more along ESP. something weird about SM is that it rarely works on ppl that cant use psi. it seems that in order for it to work you have to be sensitive to energies or very aware of them. as such while it could be a very good self defense ability its limited to use on psions. kinda a bigger they are the harder it hits ability. the stronger the psion the more effective soul manipulation is. which is why i mostly use it on myself. its also good for multi techs. as it works alot better on non psions if its used as a delivery method for another ability.
