Unless you mean like Pyrrha's, in which case it's not significantly less OP. At least she has the limit of being restricted to magnetizable objects. TTK doesn't have such limitation. So just touching someone once you could go slam them around with impunity. In a single fight if someone hit you or you hit them, you would win.

And no mind manipulation with telekinesis, even TTK. Trying to scramble someone's brain, even if doing it slooowly and liiightly, you're far more likely to leave them catatonic than manipulate their mind even with knowledge of the brain. You can't control someone's mind just by moving their brain, which is why mind control is a completely different power.

Not to mention, it wouldn't make sense that you could do that, since you can only touch their body, their skin, not the brain (and if you actually could touch their brain they're likely dead anyway). Worst you could do is shake them.
