Urban fantasy wheelchair features?

Hi folks! I'm brainstorming a paraplegic character (gunshot wound in the past) in an urban fantasy setting. The tech level is modern (smartphones, wifi, etc) and the character has terrakinesis abilities: mentally lifting rocks, shaping and warping metal, transmuting one substance to another.

Do you have any ideas on what features would be cool to have in a fantasy wheelchair? Currently I'm thinking of a floating office chair that responds to mental commands, but I'd love to hear suggestions. Thanks!

What about some sort of magnetic (or magic magnets, ley-lines?) wheelchair line, similar to the raised dot walkways for blind people?

And the character in the wheelchair, who I'm assuming has some sort of telekinetic ability, could have limited off-road capabilities via telekinesis?

A combination of both infrastructure and personal ability would be interesting to work with in writing, and you could do a lot of world building with it.
