I don't understand why Paizo keeps making these sort of feats where "you have an extra tail/appendage/something that lets you manipulate things, sort of, but only briefly and only in specific scenarios, and you can't do anything other than these fringe cases that only come up with both hands full"
It's so limited that I've never thought of taking it as an ancestry feat, and i especially don't want to take it as a 10th level class feat, where usually most classes start to get their really good feat options.
So, i propose a rework. Leave the base ability as is, but add a new option:
As a single action you can focus on your telekinesis to make it act as a third hand in all ways. While concentrating on this telekinetic hand, you may manipulate, hold, or grab items as if it were a free hand, even if your other hands are occupied. Any round you cease to concentrate you drop anything you were holding using Automatic Telekinesis.
This hand has reach of 10 feat, which increases by 5 feet every 5 levels above 10. As part of concentrating on this hand, you may use the hand to strike or perform an athletic check using a spell attack roll against a creature within reach. Using this ability is considered an amp effect. If you hit, you deal 2d12 damage plus your spellcasting modifier as force damage. This increases by 1d12 at level 12 and 19.
On a critical hit with a strike, you may choose to trip, grapple, or shove the creature, as if you succeeded at an athletics check against the creature.
