basic telekinesis

[GrayDoes]

The question is: Since I can make a container with it that is tight enough to carry water and since Aether give me Knowledge (engineering). At first level can I make more complex containers like stoves or pots and pans that I can cook with or does it have to be a simple box? Can I make boxes with compartments that holds separate things in it?

I ask because at later levels I can build whole buildings so can I build smaller things at lower levels?

If I build a pot with it and start cooking with the pot can I move the pot and stir it with the mage hand aspect of it?

Basic Telekinesis lets you lift a liquid like you were using a container. It doesn't actually cause an actual container to come into existence. That line is there because Mage Hand can only lift a single object and can not lift liquids at all.

You should think of it as a container that only exists as long as you keep concentrating and spending a standard action to keep it in existence. As soon as you stop concentrating on it, the force disappears and anything you were manipulating is free to do whatever it would in that situation.

Not sure how you're going to create buildings with telekinesis, other than spending the time to use skills, time and materials to build it like anyone else would.

Additionally, you can create a container of entwined strands of aether in order to hold liquids or piles of small objects of the same weight. You can dip the container to pick up or drop a liquid as a move action.

I never thought of creating more complicated containers, but "entwined strands" had always suggested a "bag" to me.

I don't know why you wouldn't be able to use it to boil water, but that sounds exhausting, since you'd be concentrating for a long time. 10 rounds a minute, for probably at least 5 minutes, for 50 standard actions, and likely up to 100. And you wouldn't be able to use a second basic tk to stir the water, because of the concentration, though telekinetic finesse may allow you to do that, depending on how your DM rules telekinetic finesse to work.

Aether architect

Thank you for replying to me. You see I am making a TK cook and wondered if I could make some of my cooking equipment instead of having to buy it. Like a stove. Or even a tent Aether Architect let's me build a house.

Hmm...stove should work. Oven would not work. The TK doesn't have any effect on heat transmission. Trying to cook with TK as an virtual pan or pot wouldn't work like an actual pan or pot. Flame would be directly applied to the stuff you're cooking, and there wouldn't be a metal surface to evenly conduct the heat which would make temperature control a nightmare.

In a way either Earth or Fire would be better for cooking. Fire because you'd directly control the heat. Earth because what you are working with naturally reflects heat. You're cooking will probably have an evolution once you get high enough to add a second element. Being able to manipulate both fire and water would be a nice cheat.

TK finesse should be fine for cooking without using your hands, but you’d still need most of the equipment.

Do you think I can build a small tent with basic TK?

So long as you have the materials to build the tent yes
