By “near” I mean like a sphere of 10 Meters around them. You can’t manipulate them directly, it has to be a non-living object. You also can’t cause anyone else to die before their fated time of death.
So, how do you embarass them.
Trip them down the stairs? (zero injuries remember)
Drop their mug while they try to drink water?
C’mon, what’s the most embarassing thing you can do?
Pants down, anything nearby that fits goes straight up the butt.
Permanently flying dildos that take turns during speeches.
Hold their hairs that normally fall out in place until they are on camera then shed all at once.
Make their eyes water whenever they are on camera by pushing just a little too much air at them.
Wardrobe malfunctions are an option, but I think making them fumble everything would be better, so they try to hold a pen and it slips out of their hand etc.
Make the camera drift upwards so they look shorter.
Just turn off every camera/microphone that tries to record them lol
Increase the density of air around them by ten of fifteen percent. If they begin to lie, reduce it to like 85% of normal.
magic dildo my ass!
I’ll leave this here ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIW0zlAj4ag
Always keep their shoes untied, buttons undone, fly down, hair messy, etc.
I’ll telepathically tip port-a-potties upside down over Danielle Smith for decades with regularity if any deities are listening.
Keep moving the mic away from their face so they sound meak and quiet and no one votes for them.
if anything like making deals with demons, you can curse them. so permanently make them poor when they think they grifted money out of the voters.
Manipulate the gel in their hair.
Their watch suddenly slips off their wrist.
Belt opens, pants fall down.
Or manipulate the watch-arm by moving the watch.
Turn off microphone, or even make it fall down.
Volume on max.
Make their phone vibrate.
~~ Edit: make the fillings of their teeth fall out, or heck, keep their mouth shut by manipulating the fillings.
Belt opens, pants fall down
Thus is all I need, really. Unlimited power!
damn, threadkiller?
Someone who can’t get basic things done properly won’t gain much of a following or at least will be questionable. Therefore:
Good old unzip, unbutton, and wardrobe disaster. Your politician’s pants or skirt fall to the floor and they are exposed, they may trip over that too.
Similar shenanigans with shoelaces.
Wearing a tie?" The wind " will always flap it on their faces. Repeatedly . Just like in TES
They will always get food stains and smears. These people don’t know how to eat without making a mess. They will even “accidentally” stain people next to them.
Can I manipulate Botox? Silicone? I’d be making them make faces or just have restless boobs if applicable.
Now I’m gonna steal some ideas I’ve read posted here and add to my repertoire:
recording and releasing information using their own phones,
Keeping their mouth shut or messing up their speech, manipulating mouth fillings
Turn on/off cameras and microphones, catching them unaware or spoiling their message
restless boobs
“Calm your tits”
The wind:
The messed up speech:
This is a comprehensive list of right answers.
Break everything they touch. Chair, collapse. Table, fold in on itself. Door, you guest it falls off its hinges.
Reminds me of Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians. The main character’s talent was breaking things. Takes a while for them to turn it into something other than just a curse.
Just to show the scope of talents in the book, the main character’s grandfather was late to everything. Someone shooting at him? He’d arrive too late and the bullets would miss.
Reminds me of Piers Anthony’s Xanth books. Everyone has a singular magic talent, but some of them straight suck, like creating a colored spot on the wall. But used creatively, even the suck ones can have value, like the spot person becoming a master pointillist artist.
I make a dildo fall out of Trump’s pocket.
Edit to add: but not before I buy shares in leading dildo manufacturers, because no self-respecting MAGA will be caught dead in public without their pocket-dildo after that.
Imagine a butt plug falling out of the leg of someone’s pants
How well-developed is this telekinetic power? Could I, for example:
- Continuously turn the air 10M around them into a horrific miasma of farts by doing organic chemistry with nearby carbon and sulfur sources?
- Always make it much too uncomfortably warm near them by raising the local temperature?
- Condense the moisture out of it so that the politicians are always dripping wet?
I think in absence of doing real harm to them the best bet is to make them and everyone within 10M of them as extremely uncomfortable as possible.
