Hi, this is my first post, brought upon by being a first time DM playing pathfinder for the first time. A lot of firsts, so be gentle. I am trying to run a solo campaign with my house mate and we ended up in a rules "discussion" over his Black Blade.

He is 5th level and thus has a +2 Black Blade, he is trying to use an arcane point to give his Black Blade both flaming and shocking for a minute. My reading on this ability differs, I think he cannot add those enhancements due to the following reading.

"At 5th level, these bonuses can be used to add any of
the following weapon properties... Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s base price modifier ... These properties are added to any the weapon already has..."

The way I read this the enhancements add on to the +2 already on the Blade making it a +4 which is not possible until he reaches 13th level. Am I correct? Am I wrong? Please enlighten me :/ or discuss at least.
