I am building a level 11 kineticist going the water build and enhanced water. I was looking at the combos I could do with burn and wanted to make sure I am doing this right. At level 11 I can only take on 3 points of burn per round. My main question is when using Gather Power supercharged to reduce the amount of burn that you take does that count against your 3?

Burn reads "A kineticist can accept only 1 point of burn per round. This limit rises to 2 points of burn at 6th level, and rises by 1 additional point every 3 levels thereafter." the way I see it accepting burn would be to take the damage and anything that is mitigated is not accepted and does not activate any thing that triggers with you accept burn.

An example of what I was looking at. By giving up my move action I can reduce my total burn cost of my blast by 2 so my ice blast will cost 0. I can then use Metakinesis and accept 1 point of burn for empower and 2 points of burn for maximize dealing 6d6+108 damage. That takes on 3 points of burn since 2 is removed.

Now to take that one step further and this is more of a "am I doing this right?" question. Lets say I spend the full round action gathering power then use my move action to reduce by 5. I can do that same combo again with 0 burn taken in though now it can be interrupted and takes a full round to charge.

So my main question is am I reading this right?

Also just to clarify the 6d6+108
I have 20 con so +5. At level 11 my ice blast does 12d6+18. When I take on 3 points of burn I get a +3 to hit and a +6 to damage so it turns into 12d6+24 when I empower the spell it turns into 12d6+6d6+36 then maximize the original 12d6 for 72+6d6+36=6d6+108.
I do know I am forgetting that my con will go up when I take on that burn so it changes slightly this build is a work in progress.
