Default Control Earth Question

If you have Control Earth/Metal, and you want it to effect "worked" items, what you that be? If you wanted it to work on a brick wall or a sword?

And can you then rip a wall apart using it, basically calling the earth to you and taking it apart piece by piece?

And is there a need to have both Control Earth AND TK [Earth]?

thank you

TK Earth lets you move it in ways Control wont do (like hurling it or making it fly).
Controlling Earth/Metal, including worked items would just be a broader category or without a limitation for "Unworked".
As for damaging an item its not designed as an effective attack like Innate Attack or even TK but depending on the amount and setting I can see it damaging objects.

Unpowered objects (swords, walls, etc) can be deformed just fine with Control. Your GM may give an HT roll to powered machinery, and living beings always get a resistance roll.
