Questions about powers and sub abilities

[Reece]

It depends on the ability; you might be able to get away without it, I can't say for sure (#notamod)... but you will definitely need Remote Control Proficiency:

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.

The relevant text is underlined.

If you were to provide a description of the move you're envisaging, someone would likely be able to give you a better idea of the specific proficiencies and/or powers needed for it. The fact that the Remote Control Proficiency's description says it's essential for kinetics or those who want TK does seem to suggest that there are at least some abilities which can be purchased without it, though.
