Telekinetic Grab (also known as telegrab) is a utility spell available in the standard spellbook. It requires level 33 Magic to cast, and grants 43 Magic experience per cast.

The spell can be used to pick up an item (or a pile of a stackable item) up to 10 tiles away, including over or through obstacles such as fences, gates, and rivers. It is useful when picking up item spawns that are guarded by dangerous monsters, such as the wine of Zamorak in the Chaos Temple, and is also sometimes required for quests in order to pick up items that are guarded by NPCs or otherwise unreachable. For repeated casting, it is recommended to have a staff of air equipped to negate the need for air runes.

There are only a few items, such as Ahab's beer, raw pheasant, Trouble Brewing flowers, dragon tokens and equipable reward items from achievement diaries, which cannot be picked up with Telekinetic Grab.
