This is a question that I've been puzzling over for a while: If you could have either Telekinesis of Time manipulation which would you choose?
Limitations:
-Telekinesis: you cannot use your telekinetic abilities when you are more than 1 mile away from the thing that you wish to use it on. You can move yourself with telekinesis. Your telekinetic ability also allows you to absorb any movement within a 10 meters (absorbing and storing kinetic energy is more difficult than releasing it). All of your energy used in telekinesis is either from your own bodily energy, or from kinetic energy absorbed beforehand.
-Time Manipulation: you cannot travel back or forward in time, you can only change how fast time goes in relation to yourself (and some objects/persons near you, see example #1). Your perception of time is never changed.
Example #1: Stopping time. Stop time for the rest of the universe and move in stopped time. Anyone/thing near you (within 10 feet of you) can move with you if you so choose.
Example #2: Slowing down time. Slow down time for the rest of the universe and move in slowed time. Your perception of time does not change, nor does your ability to move in it, but everything else is moving slowly.
Example #3: Speeding up time. Time moves fast around you. This is only useful if you want to let the time pass faster than it would ordinarily. Would help for long airplane flights.
So, which one would you choose?
EDIT: You don't have to answer (nobody that I've asked this question to has been able to decide), any ideas/thoughts are fine too.
