RAW? No.

Natural fire is none of those things, so a ghost can pass through a burning building merrily. Nor is a fire elemental any of those thing. Elementals don't have a rule that makes their attacks "strike as magic weapons". Getting hit by an elemental isn't magic damage. Burn is an extraordinary ability (i.e. non-magical), so the special rule doesn't apply either.

Maybe the rule should be different, and it is a simple house rule if you prefer magic elementals, but by RAW the answer is no.

What about a Pyrokineticist using the Burning Infusion? Their kinetic blast is a Spell-Like Ability, would this cause the incorporeal creature to catch on fire?

Why not do a combo of Tolken's Path of the Dead (Dunharrow) and Pirates of the Caribian's Flying Dutchman. The dwarves were absorbed into the mine and became ghosts or haunts.

I'm sorry to hear that. Both comments were meant to be light humor leading up to the real and actual tips for prepping Starfinder, a game that none of us have the rules for yet! I'm sorry that they fell flat for you.

:(

As for the 'pew pew' I enjoy silly sound effects. I use them and ridiculous voices all the time while GMing. However, I realize that others may not like that approach. I hope you found the rest of the post useful to you, Leg.

Hmm

Maybe some of us don't need practice since we make those noises on a dayly basis? Yes I am a 34 year old who still makes sci-fi gun sounds. Don't judge me. ;P
