If you suddenly got force powers, like you could make things levitate, do mindtricks and shoot lightning from your hands, do you think there'd be any practical uses? Would you use those powers in public?
Tons of uses! I'd be careful using them in public just so that people don't come to me for help with every little problem. Also helps keep my identity a secret for when the police look for the person that force-chokes rude people.
