So "mid-level" means that my telekinesis is about equivalent to anything I could do physically but just at a distance? Just want to make sure I know what the parameters are.

Roughly yes, but you'd have no physical exertion for it and you'd be able to lift more objects than you could reasonably carry (provided the total weight is within the parameters). Plus it functions as a ranged attack. At any rate, keep in mind that if you were of a reasonable weight you could carry yourself and thus attain a sort of flight.

Can I increase my ability power by using it more often and training?

You could increase your precision (ie, be less clumsy) but not the overall strength.

I'll say it, whoever voted for the last two options are lying.

I can't imagine anybody never using it (unless they're hyper-religious and see the power as coming from the devil or something), but I could understand somebody being so secretive that they'd obsess over keeping it hidden so they'd only use it as a last resort. Not that I expect somebody could maintain that kind of restraint in the second case.

Do I have to be able to see what it is I'm using telekinesis on? Because if not, I'd mostly use it so I wouldn't have to leave my room. Probably would use it for things like grabbing a soda from the kitchen, putting food in the microwave, or taking out the dog.

If so, then I dunno what I'd use it for. Could be good for scaring people during Halloween. Make a fake haunted house look like it's actually haunted by a poltergeist for some laughs.

You have to have a rough idea of what you're affecting and be roughly in range. Assuming that you know what you're affecting and its approximate position, you could move objects without seeing them. The telekinesis would allow you to "feel" an object in some senses of the word (ie, get an idea of shape) since you'd be aware of being able to affect or not affect certain things with a certain amount of force because you'd feel resistance.

What distance?

Assume you can affect anything within a reasonable distance, with your power diminishing the further your target is from your body. Maybe within 50 or 100 feet of you, with your powers going no further than twice that chosen value. Keep in mind that if you can't see something it would likely be harder to manipulate it.

Is there any visual indication I'm doing *something* like a glint in the eyes or having to point at whatever I'm affecting?

There'd be no overt tell although, with more complex tasks, you might need to concentrate on what you're doing which would make it difficult to hold a conversation or perform physical activity. Of course, in many cases you might need to look at the object you're trying to manipulate which would be a minor tell.
