Would a Kineticist's blast and racial traitss that increase the caster level of element effects work together?

An example would be the Dwarven Stonesinger Alternate racial trait:

Quote:
Stonesinger: Some dwarves' affinity for the earth grants them greater powers. Dwarves with this racial trait are treated as one level higher when casting spells with the earth descriptor or using granted powers of the Earth domain, the bloodline powers of the earth elemental bloodline, and revelations of the oracle's stone mystery. This ability does not give them early access to level-based powers; it only affects the powers they could use without this ability. This racial trait replaces stonecunning.

This would also include things like the Ifrits Fire Affinity trait.

Shadow Lodge

Kineticists do not have the a bloodline or a domain, so bonuses tied to those abilities do not get added, that means the Ifrit, Oread, Sylph, and Undine do not gain benefits from their affinity traits.

It however does stand to reason that Earth elemental abilities of the Kineticist might have the earth subtype, however these spell like abilities are not defined to have such and thus your mileage may vary.


I would think that a line stating that racial affinity traits apply to the appropriate element would be appropriate.
