^---much better. Thank u.

^----- Still doesn't obviate that Uvula doesn't have telekinesis. Or what makes Terran TK so special.

^-----sc lore is a joke these days so I take what I can get

Like I said, it would have been nice for him to elaborate a bit more on the differences.

They probably felt it wasn't necessary for the book. While true, I still hope this is explained in a future SC book, whenever that'll be.

The difference is probably that Protoss can only levitate themselves but not other things.

[Zoar]

Well that would be a logical assumption given the limited information.

That's plain BS. All that psionic power and they can't even lift a pebble with their minds.

If High Templars can create psionic storms then I don't see why they can't levitate other things. It's basically the same thing but to different levels. Maybe the physical manifestation of protoss psychic abilities are formed from vectors of conic shapes with piercing characteristics while the Terran could be cubic vectors with pushing characteristics. So when Protoss use their powers it results like this:

>>>>>> 'object'

while for the Terran it would be like this

||||||||| 'object'

Then you can start imagining how it would be harder(but not impossible) for a protoss to easily levitate something other than their own body while it would be easier for Terrans. A protoss would basically have to send multiple conic vectors at specific positions to levitate the object while a Terran would simply need to enlarge the area of his psionic vector. So, even if Protoss are able to send out a bigger and more controlled psionic output, Terrans would have a fundamental advantage anyways when it comes to levitating other objects.

I'm not sure what would be the biological differences that make the psionic manifestations different though but I don't think this needs an explanation.

Anyways, I don't know, I'm making stuff up and I'm pretty sure it was just a mistake from the author.

Well, Blizzard seems pretty intent on castrating the Protoss in every way, shape and form. They've assumed this Tolkien-style mindset with regard to the Protoss as the "Elves" in the StarCraft universe; their time has past and they're on the way out. Somehow, the manipulation of the Protoss by Amon was somehow more "severe" than used on the Zerg. The Zerg are redeemed, while the Protoss are intentionally left to whither.

Yet I believe there's potential for the Protoss renaissance: some among the Tal'darim retain their nerve cords. If taught the art of the Khala, the defected Tal'darim could overcome the "marred essence" of their race and attain true Perfection of Form. (My head-canon called them Dawn Templar or Dusk Templar. :3 ) Moreover, it's stated time and again that the Khaydarin possess power that could elevate the Protoss to new heights, but for SOME REASON the Protoss REFUSE to make use of it. Ugh.
