In PF2R, the Verbal component is changed into the Concentrate trait while the Somatic component, the Material component and the Focus component are changed into the Manipulate trait. The changes bring several problems.

1) There're rules that can be related to the Verbal component. For example, it is said that "If you speak (including casting spells with verbal components or activating items with command components) you lose all remaining air." Does using a Concentrate spell in PF2R mean losing all remaining air? It's so weird for roleplaying.

2) There're abilities that can be related to the Verbal component. For example, the Grip Throat ability of Crawling Hands make all Verbal spells cost an additional action. Do all Concentrate spells in PF2R cost more when grabbed by a Crawling Hand?

3) There're some difference between the spell with Somatic components and that with Material components. The former doesn't require a free hand while the latter does require. How should I tell whether spells with the Manipulate trait in PF2R require a free hand or not?

WINTER SLEET says that "A creature that moves on this uneven ground immediately falls unless it Balances". The exact meaning is "A creature that uses an action with move trait on this uneven ground immediately falls unless the action is Balance."

Considering this, moving a creature after using a 2A impulse of water is certainly the forced movement instead of an action with move trait.

Therefore, the creature neither falls, nor needs to attempt an Acrobatic or Reflex check.

Kineticist can get the fire aura junction at lv.5, which gives the enemies in the kinetic aura weakness to fire.

It is written that "When you use an impulse that has the overflow trait, your kinetic aura deactivates until you revitalize it."

What's the meaning of "when"? Does the aura deactivate before the impulse deals damage so the target has no weakness, or after that so the target takes more damage?

As is written in the action, "You Cast a Spell that takes 1 or 2 actions to cast and requires a spell attack roll." doesn't restrict the tradition of the spell to being arcane. However, arcane is mentioned later in the sentence, "The infusion of spell energy grants your Strike the arcane trait, making it magical."

So, can I use spellstrike with non-arcane spells？ For example, to dedicate myself into a Cleric and use spellstrike with the powerful focus spell Fire Ray, or into a Psychic and do that with the powerful amp cantrip Imaginary Weapon？

I know it's a little strange in RP, but a free and poweful spell per encounter is very useful.
