Generally speaking Gabriel is correct, it is not elemental. But if you would like a more thorough explaination, here it is:

Telekinesis can be broken down into "Tele" (the Greek prefix meaning distance) and "Kinesis" (the movement of things), so as we all know it is the movement of matter from a distance.

Now elemental powers are very broad but almost anything you can find causes the matter that makes-up the elements to move (yes even reshaping is moving the matter).

Now depending on the source of the ability, elemental-based powers could be considered a sub-form of telekinesis or it could not. The main thing that decides this is if you have to make direct contact with the element or not. So we are left with this conclusion, "Telekinesis as a general power is not elemental, although it can be. And Elemental powers are not the same as Telekinesis although they can be a form of it (and generally are)."

Sorry if this reply was unnecessay, but since this is a site for information I felt the question deserved to have a more explainatory answer. Sorry if I imposed on anyone.
