This first character, based on the build, turned out to be almost identical to my mage from the previous playthrough. He'll probably die in a similar way too.

My character is also turning out to be almost a complete copy of Tanasia in terms of skills. The race and faith are different, though. And the personality.

How did yours die?

He and the agile assassin Revan entered the barracks and were met with a single volley from a squad of soldiers.

Okay, you convinced me.

Sotria was lucky to be born into a wealthy and prosperous family; both of her parents were respected members of the Setronamicon order, and from a young age, she dreamed of continuing the family business. Every night, before going to bed, she asked her parents to tell her about their adventures. Although, as she later learned, they kept some events from their exploits secret. When Sotria grew up, her father used his connections and sent the girl to Madinia to study at the academy of combat magic, which he himself had once graduated from. It cannot be said that studying there was easy, but Sotria managed to graduate with honors, after which she soon received the long-awaited invitation to join the order. At that moment, the girl considered this one of the happiest moments in her life.
Although working for Setronamicon lacked the romanticism that Sotria's parents embellished it with, she was happy with her choice. A series of successfully completed assignments was marred only by news of her parents' death on assignment, but she was sure that they died like true heroes. These thoughts helped her come to terms with the loss until Sotria met Stelios. Her first serious relationship made her head spin and even lessened the pain of loss. The passionate romance quickly turned into something more and eventually led to her marriage to Stelios. Life went on, and with renewed vigor, Sotria continued her service to the order.
Trouble came from where it was not expected. One of the goals of the order turned out to be Stelios' brother, but the girl found out about this too late. By that time, Setronamicon agents had already taken the life of her brother-in-law. But he was not the only victim; Stelios himself fell at the hands of the order, trying to protect his brother. Senior officers did not hide anything from Sotria and told her everything directly, expressing their condolences. To say that what happened undermined her is an understatement. She could not comprehend that the organization she had worked for all her life had taken away her last remaining loved one. Sotria tried not to think about it, immersed herself in work, but every day she saw the flaws of the order more clearly. She noticed that in not all situations, members of Setronamcon act in the best way or make the most correct decisions. But she was not the only one whose sad truth was revealed. The order has seen. Seth fulfilled.
It wasn't particularly difficult for Setronamicon to catch Sotria; they had been watching her since that incident. And when it became clear that eventually she would turn against the order, a corresponding order was given.

Nationality: Khalehidka (+5 to Willpower; +4 skill points; free Death Art skill; if the enemy's damage is greater than the character's Willpower, the character takes damage equal to the enemy's damage minus the character's Willpower)

Equipment:
"Judgment" - a two-handed sword that was given to Sotria by her parents when she was accepted into the order. A well-made and comfortable weapon.
Wedding ring - a reminder of her deceased husband and how she ended up in her current situation.
"Aegis" - heavy armor that once protected Sotria from enemies of the order. Let's hope it will serve just as well against other Setronamicon agents.

Sorry for being so brief. Maybe I'll elaborate later. Initially, I thought about making her a follower of Madianism who began to take revenge on the Setronamicons who killed her husband (sliding from a positive path to a neutral one), but then I decided that it would be more interesting this way.

How effective is telekinesis? For example, is it possible to use it to handle weapons properly (like throwing swords, lol) or lift people into the air? Or is it only good for stealing keys from a guard's belt?

Oh, Revan, the orphanages in Madinia aren't quite as you described. Never mind, let's assume you were assigned to one of the worst, somewhere on the outskirts.

It all depends on the strength of the magic. You can use it on people, and you can use it on weapons.

They've created some nasty renegades.

one of the worst

And I thought that in the worst Madinian orphanages, experiments are conducted on children.

Watch out, heh-heh-heh.

Can you fly using telekinesis?

Magic power in the 90-100 range. I'm interested in at least an approximate cost, as you'll be working on it anyway (if you haven't already). I have one extra skill point left and need to decide what to discard.

Here's why only criminals would conduct experiments on children. Since it's extremely difficult to determine immediately whether something will come of a person or not, it's considered irrational to conduct experiments on children. What if they turn out to be a future Minister of Trade? So, they wait until they grow up and it becomes clear whether experiments can be conducted or not.

No.

Magic power is around 90-100. I'm interested in at least an approximate cost, because you'll still be working on it (if you haven't already). Otherwise, I have an extra skill point left and I need to decide what to discard.

Well, lifting and throwing a rather large guard won't take much, maybe around 300 mana. But that's just an estimate...

Well, they have legalized slavery, and mages are a privileged class, so I assumed there might be other irrational things as well.

Oh yes, I forgot to warn you. All mages will be wearing special collars that block magic. So don't count on escaping using magic.

I knew it, I just knew something like this would happen.

Well, it won't take much mana, maybe around 300, to lift and throw that fat guard. But that's just an estimate...

And what about a not-so-fat sword/spear/brick? And how will the accuracy of the throw be determined in this case?

They would have to do that, considering they are transporting dangerous criminals, hehe, it would be like starting a game walkthrough on an easy difficulty level, where all the NPCs are weak, stupid, and blind.

I understand, but they have something like slavery contracts. A child cannot sign such a contract. If you have questions about such details, feel free to ask. Because I can't go into detail about every aspect of life and legislation. And even if I could, it would turn into a Wikipedia article.

What about a less powerful sword? And how will the accuracy of the throw be determined in this case?

Thirty. It will be determined by perception.

Can you fly using telekinesis?

No.

What about Newton's third law?
