📋 About This Mod
Description
The main goal of this mod is to allow you to disarm soul gem traps with Telekinesis. This is something that is intuitive but was impossible in the vanilla game. In the process of fixing this issue, Telekinesis became effective against other traps too.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (4,066 endorsements) and over 1.9 million downloads — this is a proven, popular tweak.
- Simple concept that adds clever gameplay options for mage builds, letting you disarm traps from a distance.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it only modifies trap interactions.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim version or the Anniversary Edition without patches.
- Only affects traps; if you're looking for broader Telekinesis changes, this won't cover other uses.
- No detailed documentation or patch notes provided, so troubleshooting issues could be tricky.
For mage players who love creative spell usage and want to disarm traps safely from afar. Also great for stealth archers who want a magical alternative to crouch-and-sneak. Skip if you want major gameplay overhauls — this is a focused tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, make sure to grab the SE version of the mod — the original may be for Oldrim.
- Test the mod on a saved game near a trap to see if it works with your current load order.
- Since it's a simple plugin, place it near the bottom of your load order to avoid conflicts with other trap-related mods.
