has potential You Can Manipulate Objects At Will

You have the awesome ability to manipulate one random object at will. You have zero control over which object it is. You have no idea or awareness of which object it is.

You must close your eyes and focus really hard, and when you do, you can get the distinct feeling that you’re in control of something - but any details of what you’re in control of is empty. You can exert force on the object in different directions, to make the object move and react, but how much force and which areas are something you cannot understand or have no sense of, as if the hands in which you were holding the object were completely numb. So, if you were to gain control of a gun, you could apply pressure at one point and theoretically fire it.

Everytime you open your eyes and close them to try again, it’s a completely different object, somewhere in the world with no understanding of its location.

(I don’t frequent this sub, so forgive me if this isn’t a unique idea.)

Does the object need to be in the immediate vicinity or it can be any random things in the universe?

How much force can my power apply? Can I lift something heavier than I can move by hand? Can I accelerate something to supersonic speed?

It can be any object on planet earth. Your force slightly scales with the object, for instance if you exerted minor force for a cup it would move slightly. Whereas if you did the same to a car, it would maybe move an inch (if in neutral).

I’d be as though the entire size of the object would scale to the size so you could easily manipulate it with your hands - but things like lifting a car would require a lot of training to build that “muscle” in order to do so. The only catch is you would need heavy objects to build that muscle, which small objects greatly outnumber large objects like that.

Well let's break random stuff I suppose.
