you are still bound by laws of physics
magic is just physics we dont understand yet.. think this could still work
if you want to lift something by telekinesis, you'd be just as tired, if not more, than if you used your hands. if you want to set something on fire by thought alone, you need to provide that initial energy somehow (like starting fire with bow drill). you'll be drained just as much as after physical work
