The source identifies Soaring Lift and several related Telekinesis skills as locked until the main quest to rescue Zee from the Lucrehulk is completed.
Resetting a skill point has a stated cost
IGN says a misplaced point can be reset for a cost of 1 Skill Point, a detail to consider when reading the listed costs and prerequisites.
