"Telekinesis enhancing weapon" how to build?

Hello all !

I am about to try my first space opera-ish campaign and i want to create a special class of warriors for an alien race called the "Faraani" whose technology has so far surpassed our own it often looks and feels like magic.

I want them to have a signature weapon that is only (legally) available to the highest ranking members of this special order of warriors. (similar to the jedi and the lightsabers)

This weapon is supposed to be an extremely expensive iridium-lined quarterstaff that can be used as a relay and amplifier for the wielder's Telekinetik powers. In other words, if someone with 10 ST an also 10 levels of telekinesis were to hit you with this staff you would feel the impact of the attacker's regular strenght + 2 or 3 times his telekinetic power.

I would also like for the more experienced or talented wielders of the Faranian staff to be able to use them in interesting and unexpected ways, such as by hitting the ground bellow them and holding onto the staff as it lifts them up for a super jump, for example.

how would you build this weapon? what other cool abilities and effects can you imagine it being able to do?

any thoughts and tips about this weapon and also other gadgets you may have crafted for your own space-dudes campaign is highly appreciated, thanks in advance !
