Need some advice on Power - Erica - 12-13-2015
Ok so I want to get an Elemental Manipulation power and use the description for Telekinesis as a base for it. Example:
Quote:Telekinesis (requires Ranged Proficiency, Remote Control Proficiency, Ranged Materialize Proficiency)
Telekinesis is the ability to remotely move objects with the power of your mind. Without derivative moves, it will allow you to pick up and manipulate objects in the specified radius. The strength of telekinesis is based on your ATK stat, and gives you the same ability to lift objects that the Physical Strength proficiency does, with the caveat that the further away something is, the harder it becomes to lift and manipulate. At 50% of your maximum ranges, your telekinesis will have half of its power. At your absolute maximum range (which is determined by the level of Telekinesis you have) you will only have a tiny fraction of the power that you have up-close. Moves will be required in order to do other things such as telekinetic waves that can push back enemies or deflect projectiles, or to create walls that can block moves and enemies, or to affect Primes. However, you do not require additional moves to, for example, lift and throw objects at people, or try to snatch moving objects out of the air (this will be very difficult, however, and require a high TEC for effectiveness).
Only replace Telekinesis with Elemental Manipulation. So would this be acceptable?

Actually all you need for 'elemental control' would be the proficiencies required for Telekinesis, but not Telekinesis itself.
Ranged Materialize Proficiency – 600 OM (requires Ranged Proficiency) (Example move)
Allows you to create moves which summon things further than five feet from yourself. This might be a pillar of fire than erupts underneath an opponent, or a shield that can appear around one of your allies. While such moves are generally more difficult to perform at range, their usefulness cannot be denied.
Remote Control Proficiency – 600 OM (requires Ranged Proficiency) (Example move)
Allows you to create moves which can be manually controlled further than five feet from yourself, such as a shifting wall of sand or flying disks of energy that obey your commands. An essential proficiency for 'kinetics' who wish to purchase a move allowing total control over a particular element such as metal or fire, or for those who wish to purchase the Telekinesis power. While Ranged Materialize Proficiency is not essential for such moves, they go great together.

Does that mean I would have to make a move for all the Elements?
Re: Need some advice on Power - Albert Wesker - 12-13-2015
You would need to make moves for every specific application you wanted to do, not just for every element in general.
Re: Need some advice on Power - The Rogue - 12-13-2015
Yes, but you would have to separate into different functions as well, like let's say you have a move for making a pillar of air, you would have to buy three separate moves to make a pillar from other three elements. Does that make sense?

I think i get like this:
Quote:Terra Wolf Pack Assault-600 OM (Requires: Range Proficiency, Remote Control Proficiency- Jay slams his hand onto the ground causing two wolves made from the very earth four feet from his opponents feet. These wolves take two mintues to form. These wolves are about 3 feet tall and a foot and half long. They shoot out of the ground rushing his opponent growling and snarling. The wolves try to bite and claw at any part of the opponent they can. They are controlled by both of Jays hands leaving him vulnerable and unable to use his hands to defend himself. He must remain motionless while using this attack. The wolves are easily destroyed by hitting them three times.
Terrakinesis-500(Requires: Range Proficiency, Remote Control Proficiency) Can control varieties of Earth around him.Sand, dirt,crystal, metal et.

All moves are priced in increments of 300 depending on variability. As things stand, just for example's sake, being able to control Sand, Dirt, Crystalline substances and metal would be 1200 minimum.
But just controlling something is far too vague to be a move. You would need to purchase specific applications. Your Terra Wolf Pack Assault is a good example. If you wanted to use your control of earth to make spikes or spears, walls, open pits/chasms, or things like that, they would all need to be separate moves, or one move with a high OM cost and several variations to it.

you'd need a move for every specific application of your elemental abilities to my understanding.
