Whatever floats your boat, man.

Yeah it's possible to send a construct whilst punching.
Ineffective and even silly, but possible.

I'm going to disreguard the psivamp business and just answer the rest of your question.
Yes, manipulating psi can cause nerve damage. Do not move it along your neural pathways. Please read Rainsong's article on this matter.

I have sat here for 5 minutes and considered how to answer this question.

Is oomph like love, you know it when you have it?
I don't think so, no.

Oomph is giving that extra mile. The best metaphor I've come up with in these 5 minutes is long distance runners.
They push little by little, run themselves ragged, but once they see that finish line they just suck it up and sprint.

Interesting question. Thanks for making me think.

Psiballs are primitive psionic constructs. Many kinds of Shields are also psionic constructs. Therefore, Psiballs have something in common with many kinds of Shields. Both constructs can be programmed to do an assortment of things, but the average newbie's Psiball lacks the "oomph" to accomplish much.

Sounds like you're getting the hang of it .

Keep practicing.

You don't have to. You don't have to learn anything, really. But I think I get where your question is coming from - will you need shields from just practicing TK? Probably not. With TK, you are affecting the outside world, not being affected by the outside world (which is what shields are there for). But if you start meditating, who knows what "doors" you'll open . So you never know...

1. You don't HAVE to... but sure, try it out. Try visualizing (aka imagine) the energy moving around your body and into your hands.

2. At first it's kinda hard to know for sure. After a few times though, you start to feel it (like, you feel a warm pressence on your skin, for example).

3. Could be warm, could be cold, could feel pulls, or pushing... Just keep practicing and find out yourself what it feels like.

4. Some people get it their first try, most in a week or two, and some have never created one. So... try, and try, and when you get it, you get it.

5. No. You can be dumb as a brick .

It isn't so much a matter of changing your appearance (or not-appearance, in the case of invisibility), as affecting how other people perceive you. Making people think you look like a fox is well within the realm of possibility, but the illusion will be incongruous if you don't act like a fox.

The upper limit is still undetermined. The factors which appear to affect "how much they can keep out" include but are not limited to the strength of the person who makes it, the person's skill, and how the shield is programmed.

It is optional. Some of us simply use the stuff that seems to accumulate in our fields, and some prefer to deliberately "generate" the stuff on an as-needed basis. However, if drawing from an outside source works for you, go for it. Be aware that for some people, using "outside" energies appears to cause problems, so you might want to keep an eye on things, when experimenting.
