Symbiat clarification

[Visceration]

Hello fellow players!

So I'm still a little new to d&d and decided to try a Symbiat class. Now my question is about the telekinesis sphere. I'm getting dancing weapon and flair talent. So I was curious, using a melee weapon with it, is it considered ranged or melee damage for the feats and modifiers? Also, dancing weapon mentions being able to use d
Intellect modifier for damage. Does that add onto the already added modifier that strength or dex added on?

Thanks again for any help that can give.

For reference: Symbiat and Telekinesis Sphere.

Dancing Weapon: "When using telekinesis to lift an object, that object counts as a melee weapon under your control."

Damage: When using Bludgeon to attack with a weapon you normally don't add any ability score modifier. The talent lets you add your casting modifier.

Dragonborn3:Thanks so much! Am I able to add my base attack bonus on with the casting modifier too? Sorry if it's a stupid question. Makes hard to increase damage as I get high-levels.

Not for damage, no.

The method to increase your damage will be by increasing the size of the object you can bludgeon with, getting more bludgeon attacks a turn, and also by using feats like Power Attack which are made possible with the Flair talent.

Divided Mind and Mobile Bludgeon get you more attacks.

Forceful Telekinesis lets you treat the object or weapon as a size larger and Powerful Telekinesis let you actually use a size larger object.

Increase your caster level, such as with a Telekinesis staff to reach even larger object sizes.

Since you can use weapons with your bludgeon you may also enchant as normal to get static and elemental damage increases. While I'm not entirely sure, I don't believe you get any oversized weapon penalties, so at higher levels get yourself a titan's sword and enchant it.

Edit: Also the Telekinetic Warrior archetype gets full caster levels for Telekinesis, which also lets it bludgeon with larger objects earlier and with more accuracy.
