"You have developed a technique to conduct maneuvers on the battlefield at range with your solar flare. You can attempt combat maneuvers as a ranged attack instead of a melee attack, with a range of 30 feet. Any weapon special properties your solar flare has that would affect certain combat maneuvers apply as normal. While attuned or fully attuned, you gain a +2 insight bonus to combat maneuvers attempted at range using this stellar revelation. You must have a solar flare to select this stellar revelation."
Grapple:
"Grapple
You hold the target in place. You must have at least one hand free to perform a grapple combat maneuver. Your target has the grappled condition, meaning she can’t move from her current space and takes further penalties until she either uses a standard action to attempt a grapple combat maneuver to grapple you (giving you the grappled condition) or uses the escape task of the Acrobatics skill to break free. If the result of your attack roll equals or exceeds the target’s KAC + 13, the target is instead pinned for the same duration, and she can’t take any actions that involve moving her limbs other than to attempt to escape.
The grappled or pinned condition lasts until the end of your next turn, unless you renew it on your next turn with another grapple combat maneuver. The condition ends immediately if you move away. As long as you have one target grappled or pinned, you cannot attempt to grapple another. The grappled and pinned conditions are further detailed in Conditions on pages 276–277.
When you renew a grapple, you can remove one item from the target’s body that can be easily accessed, including most weapons and equipment (but not worn armor). Doing so immediately ends the grapple."
Questions
1) I assume you still need a free hand? I.e., you cannot have flare in one hand, and a shield in the other, and use agile wavelengths to grapple at range.
2) What does "if you move away" mean? With normal grapple, could you move around your target, so long as you stay in range? Or does any movement, even if you are still within grapple range of your opponent, break the grapple? (My assumption is that 'away' implies increasing the distance between you and the grappled enemy.)
For agile wavelengths, would any movement at all break the grapple? Or just movement that takes you further than 30 feet from the grappled enemy? Or any movement that increases the distance between you and the grappled enemy? (E.g., if you were 15' away when you grappled them with agile wavelengths, any movement that results in you being more than 15' away breaks it?)
3) How does item removal work? With normal grapple, are you grabbing that item in the hand you had free to grapple with? Or does removing the item mean knocking it away from them onto the ground?
I assume you cannot end up with the item in your hand as a result of a ranged grapple (unless you are using this while adjacent to them, which I assume would provoke as its a ranged attack, but then you could end up with an item in your hand?)
Reposition:
"You change the target’s position to a different location still within your reach and within 5 feet of its original placement. You can move the target 5 additional feet for every 5 by which the result of your attack roll exceeds the target’s KAC + 8, but all movement must remain within your reach. You cannot move the target past an obstacle.
If you reposition a creature as a full action, you can move a distance equal to the distance you repositioned your target (up to your move speed), dragging the target along with you."
With agile wavelengths, can you use that full action reposition?
Disarm
"You knock an item the target is holding out of the target’s hands and onto the ground. If you have a hand free, you can automatically grab the item with your hand before it falls."
Does the 'automatically grab' part work if you aren't adjacent to the target?

There are definitely some big grey areas in how different combat maneuvers work at range, and I would ask other people to help make sure the question is in the queue by clicking that FAQ button.
In addition to the questions above, for Reposition, what does "within your reach" mean, when making the maneuver at range? Still melee reach? Within the 30 ft range of Agile Wavelengths? I would assume the latter, but no rules say it.
