Can you use a Telekinetic Sphere to bypass a teleports weight limits?

Can you use a Telekinetic Sphere to bypass a teleports weight limits?
Cool idea, I'd say yes you can! :smallcool: Teleport limits refer to "weight" (e.g. "self + 50 lbs of objects"), and not inherent mass. Objects weigh less on the Moon (although have the same mass), so by RAW you can teleport with certain objects on the Moon, that would be too heavy to teleport with when on Earth. In other words, when objects are made to weigh less (such as the 1/16 factor when inside a Telekinetic Sphere (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/telekineticSphere.htm)) that means you should be able to teleport with more stuff.

If that were true, you could teleport infinite amounts of stuff while on weightless planes like the Etheral. As that is not the case we can assume that spells talking about weight mean mass.

As that is not the case we can assume that spells talking about weight mean mass.Is it not the case? You'd still have to be holding it, so it's not like you could bring the entire plane along.

Also if "weight" sometime means "mass", then there's no definitive answer whether TK Sphere reduces the weight or the mass to 1/16th.
