:thumbsup: was curious the purpose of max-ing kinesis but I got the answer from a little research
why not post the answer in case anyone else asks the same question?

Each point in Telekinesis makes Energy Shield's damage absorption more effective. By default, for each point of damage absorbed by Energy Shield, 2 mana points are deducted - a 200% ratio. Each hard skill point in Telekinesis makes Energy Shield 6.25% more effective. For example, with 8 points in Telekinesis, 1.5 mana points are deducted for each point of damage absorbed - a 150% ratio. With 16 points in Telekinesis, one point of damage absorbed equals one point of mana loss - a 100% ratio.
so if you max TK, it reduces to a 75% ratio
this means for every 4 points of damage absorbed by ES, you only lose 3 points of mana instead of 8 mana with 0pts in TK
