Default Re: Who controls the MA for Flight Spell?

Looking at the Flight spell, it seems stronger than the Telekinesis spell. 1) there is no listed weight limit for the former, while the latter is limited to the caster's ST ("...that he could do if his own body were there.") The Flight spell can essentially lift any (willing?) one-hex creature provided that the mind of the target knows what to do with the spell.

2) While the Telekinesis spell provides a more finer control over an inanimate object with untying of ropes or wielding a sword, would it be able to lift an unwilling person, if we consider that people aren't objects?

Carrying the average normal-sized person (150 lbs) would take a ST of 15.

And a person may carry up to 15 times ST (150 lbs at ST 10) for 10 minutes taking 1 fatigue every 2 minutes.

A person with a ST 9 could just lift (161 lbs), but not carry (max'ed at 135 lbs).

Approaching this with the concept of finding someone's "lack of faith in the Force disturbing" yet without the choking part.
