So there is a which in our party who is a cartomancer. With the ability to deliver touch spells the card does not do any damage but the player also wants to put conductive (+1 enhancement that allows the delivery of supernatural abilities through the weapon) on the deck as well. The question is two part:
If not using it to deliver a touch spell could a witch still do choose to do no damage?
If a is no, can you choose to do less damage (for example only deal 1 damage from the damage die)?

Neither of those are covered within the rules.
My answer would be no, and I would tell him to get the merciful enchantment on his deck.
Merciful: The weapon deals an extra 1d6 points of damage, and all damage it deals is nonlethal damage. On command, the weapon suppresses this ability until told to resume it (allowing it to deal lethal damage, but without any bonus damage from this ability).
Faint conjuration; CL 5th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, cure light wounds; Price +1 bonus.
Dealing non-lethal damage is about as good as you can get within the rules. Whenever you receive healing, you heal an equal number of non-lethal damage as well as lethal.
