I was thinking something along the lines of a Teleport Object Trick.  Teleport
something up to 1/2 your weight up to 20 metres per success.

I wouldn't allow it to be used as an attack... it's far too nasty.  Doing 5d6+10
ranged bypassing armor should not be something you do all the time.  Perhaps a
trick similar to the gunners "pierce armor" that requires several extra successes
on an attack roll, range increment same as a pistol.
