Perhaps.

The reason why so many of us know so much about "science" is that science first started alongside magic. It wasn't until later that the two were divided. In fact, I believe it was Asimov who said "Technology advanced to a far enough point appears to be magic." or something similar to that.

As long as we consider what we know of the world in scientific detail, we can apply that to a greater degree. The scientific knowledge is our unbiased knowledge of how the world works to our limited perceptions. And psi is changing our perceptions of the world around us to cause a desired change. Such as with telekinesis and hydrokinesis. It is much easier to make water move via capillary action than by brute force. You just change the "capillaries" from plant cells or fibers to dust particles in the air. Perception change, but it works.

And carieskinesis in a nutshell is applied decay via visualization. You visualize the frames of decay of an object, and the strong visualization changes the object. If you've ever used old film, old picture reels, stop motion animation, or anything similar then you know what I mean by frames. Basically, the first image is the object, then the next is after some time, and so on and so forth. However, you're also visualizing the decay process, so fruit would get dried out and bruised and eventually rot.
