I'm unclear on if these two can be used together. I'm trying a multiclass with fighter and so I have AoO. Can I have both my shield up and be wielding my elemental weapon to make AoO? The wording seems a bit unclear.

Elemental Weapon says: "The weapon is still the gathered element and can be used for impulses, is expended for overflow impulses, and so on."

Stone Shield says: "You raise a floating shield of stone, orbiting around you, protecting you from harm and imbuing you with great resiliency. You Raise a Shield, turning your gathered element into the shield and gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to AC until the start of your next turn. (You can still use this shield for anything requiring a gathered element."

I think what is unclear is what it means by "turning your gathered element into the shield." How limited is your gathered element? Can it only be in one form at a time, or can I wield the weapon in one hand as my gathered element and have a piece of it break off and circle me as a stone shield.

My thoughts as a GM is I'm inclined to allow this. As I feel like the intent is to let the weapon be your gathered element and still let you make impulses as normal unimpeded with the limitation of only the matching ranged or melee blasts. Also aside from AoO I don't see much use for the Elemental weapon as it is so restricted and this seems like a match made in heaven for the tank build. I'd like to hear other thought
