Metakinesis, infusion specialization and gather power.


Rules Questions


Hello guys! I have a doubt about the infusion specialization...

1)Does it work with all types of infusion? I think that it is a yes...

2) can I lower metakinesis burn with Infusion specialization?

3)Can I combine infusion and metakinesis? Like making a empowered kineticic blade? And if so, can I use infusion specialization and gather power to make it free?
Or can I combine multiple infusions?

4) can I use a compound blast with a infusion and a metakinesis?

5)does a compound blast burn is affected by infusion specialization? Does it count as an infusion for lowering the burn?

6)Can I modify a wild talent, like kineticist healing blast, with metakinesis or infusion?

And just to make certain gather power and Infusion specialization doesn't work with wild talents, right?

Thanks guys!! Sry that it's a lot of questions!


1) yes
2) no
3)yes
4)yes
5)for just the blast, no and no.


1.) It is for when you use "one or more infusions WITH A BLAST". It is for the infusions you get every odd level, not the utility infusions. As far as I am aware. There are a couple utility infusions that work with the blast, I am sure, such as ride the blast... but that one has 0 burn anyway.

Gather power is also used with blast wild talents.

2.) No. That is for the level 19 ability. Metakinesis is seperate from infusions.

3.) Yes, as far as I am aware. But as mentioned, it can get painful with the burn you have to deal with.


Thanks for the answers!

To get more specific about some stuff about #3.

Kinetic Blade becomes free as soon as you have Infusion Specialist.

You can choose a Form and Substance Infusion, add their burn cost together, and then reduce it by the amount of Infusion Specialist you have. If you've Gathered Power, you can then reduce the total cost by that amount.

Example: Level 13 Kineticist making an Entangling (2 burn) Deadly Earth (4 burn) would automatically reduce that 6 burn to 3 with his Infusion Specialist, and could then lower it to 1 with having used Supercharge for 2 burn reduction.
