The first example that pops to mind is creation ex nihilo. Magic is commonly shown as being able to conjure (or summon) things from 'thin air', but that's just not in the realm of telepathic abilities I've ever seen before. There are a few (like Jason Ironheart from Babylon 5) that I believe could probably do it, but that guy was basically a god in human form.
