Mesmer rip-off much.

While original psychic class types could be perceived, quite separately from mesmers.... this has the same basic gimmick... just about.

Exept for the single telepathy what makes them telekinetic?
(telepathy is latin it means tele=remore/at range pathy=communication)
(telekinesis means tele=remote kinesis=motion/movement)
I'm a layman translator, I know its suposed to be communicate or communicating and motioning or something, but latin the form of a latin verb is something I'll leave to somone to whom 'ad fundum' is not the most important latin phrase.

Point is you have no identety for your class, just skills, so we can't see if the class is cool, much less if good theme fitting skills can be made for them(not that much that you have to make good themed skills(helps) but that you prove Anet will be able to make 80 skills without breaking a sweat, thinking on what would go well with the theme)

Looking at the them of thse skills, your class is sort of a godfearing elementalists
(which is crossing a RP 'do not cross line' by the way)
A telekinetisist/telekineticus is a magic user that can apply physical forces (at range)through thoughts and gestures.
(RW explayined by magnetic fields generated by overactive brain or nerval path ways /offtopic)
This means they are mages, rougher mages as their power comes from them not from an element; thereby it is not only wordly it is physical i.o.w. touchable.

A mage wants power, that is why they became one(give up normal life to study and get more power), that is why it is a do not cross line to make mages willingly give up material possesion(gadjets and power-enhancers) to follow some god devotedly(also spending large amounts of time to pray for godly aid, or bring down hell and demons(samething)), they always want something to gain, and with religion there is no reasurance(that is why it is called belief).

But instead your skills show attunement to Dwayna and Lyssa, but also you are summoning crystal demons(will there be a paragon shout called 'fat lady sings' that shatters all crystal demons in earshot?) and hellbrining, that does not exactly mix that well.

A wordly and physical mage, would likly go for a god that lets himself be known(kicks the s[censored]t out of people whenever he wants to)
This does not make them less mage like, but it does make them less priest like.

Now I stop yammering about a telekineticist('s about bloody time

)
And about what the skills do look like to me.

The class is a Crystal crafting(Crystalwork) (dark)priest(Spirit Calling&&Telekinetics) mind affecter(Empathics) guy, it deals to much damage and has too powerfull deabilitations/shutdowns(no casting of enchantments for 11 tries?)
It's ok for a class to have more than 1 main function, but for having both functions be overpowered, and trying to throw some personal and team energy buffing on top of it... its an atomic bomb with bio-weapon sprincles, you definatly overdid it.
I'm all for a alternative to an elementalist and also a telekinetisist(a physical mage is a reasonably appealing image) however your shaman(magical(dark)priest fellar) needs some work before it can for into the role(you've already got a ritual that has an effect while casting, a start for originalty)
Keep it up, you might turn out with something pretty good.
