I know your comment was posted long ago but for the benefit of anyone else: "Mancy" is from Ancient Greek  "μαντεία,  manteía ,  divination "I divine, prohecy" relating to divine oracles and numinous soothsayers.  While "kinesis" is Greek for movement and motion, usually physical. To sum up, mancy is (mystical) divination while kinesis is the movement and transversment of (physical) bodies/objects by/from external impetus.
