The RTKA (Reduced TeleKinetic Ability) spectrum, often referred to as just RTKA, is a wide spectrum of telekinetic disorders and disabilities relating to the partial or total impairment of telekinesis. RTKA is widely understood to be a major roadblock in life, requiring special accommodation that is often not accounted for. Sufficient accommodations have been found to greatly improve quality of life and happiness for those suffering with a severe or crippling form of RTKA. In particular, the NNT project promises to help RTKA patients live a normal life using cybernetic grasping-leg prosthetics to supplement or replace telekinesis.

It is estimated that 1 in 1250 people are born each year with some form of natural RTKA. It has been found to be more common in adads and mikmiks, with an estimate of 1 in 450 for adads and 1 in 300 for mikmiks. The exact cause of natural RTKA is unknown, but it has been theorized it is highly heritable, dominant, and genetic in basis. However, too many genes are involved to know for sure, and environmental factors and the early development process may also be relevant.

Known causes

 * Aging-induced: RTKA caused by the aging process
 * Injury-induced: RTKA caused by physical injury
 * Natural: RTKA caused by mutations or faults in the genome

Classifications
This section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.
 * Total: Complete Inability to use telekinesis at all.
 * Layer impaired: Inability to use telekinesis through translucent material.[citation needed]
 * Restricted movement: Application of telekinesis is restricted in some way, such as being unable to push or pull objects.
 * Focused: Telekinesis becoming uncontrollable when not focused on. Frequently paired with monohold RTKA.
 * Monohold: Only one item can be held or pushed at a time.
 * Shortranged: Telekinesis only working on objects close-by, with less power over distance.[citation needed]
 * Painful: Telekinesis causing headaches, itching eyes, and other pains that practically prevent its use.

Conditions

 * Konon's Syndrome: Genetic disorder, active at birth. Total RTKA, brown eyes, and longer legs. Farsightedness and often hypersensitivity in other senses.
 * Filsher Disease: Aging-induced, primarily in kekes and mes and related interspecies. Causes monohold-shortranged RTKA alongside nearsightedness, narcolepsy, and bone atrophy.
 * Burnout: Injury-induced. Characterized by a long bout of total or painful RTKA after major usage of telekinesis. Temporary but may become chronic with repeated overexertion.
 * Chronic Burnout: Injury-induced. Characterized by small period of safe telekinesis use between long bouts of total or painful RTKA.
 * Blindness: Many forms of blindness cause total or focused RTKA, especially born blindness.
