remote harming ability theme

A character is able to directly inflict injuries, or other deleterious effects, on another person, more or less by using their mind alone and without manipulating intermediate physical objects.

Notes

If a character, for example, uses telekinesis to move a knife, manipulate air, etc. and inflict injury, then the applicable theme is just ordinary "telekinetic ability".

Examples

In "Scanners" (1981), Cameron was able to speed up another man's heartbeat using only his mind.
