So, a lot of the kineticist blasts are of the physical type. So, does this affect incorporeals? There is this line:
All damage from a kinetic blast is treated as magic for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction.
But that seems to only apply to damage reduction. So:
1. Would an aetherkineticist's telekinetic blast hurt an incorporeal with a non-magical object for half damage? If not, would it deal half damage if a magic object were thrown?
2. Does an aquakineticist's water blast (bludgeoning) deal half damage to incorporeals or no damage?
Hrm. I am convincing myself that it does work. Kinetic blasts are Spell-Like, and for the telekinetic blast there is this line:
Since the object is enfolded in strands of aether, even if you use this power on a magic weapon or other unusual object, the attack doesn’t use any of the magic weapon’s bonuses or effects; it simply deals your blast damage.
As per this FAQ physical kinetic blasts which are still magic vs DR would still do half damage against incorporeal creatures.
