You throw a nearby unattended object at a single foe as a ranged attack. The object must weigh no more than 5 pounds per kineticist level you possess. If the attack hits, the target and the thrown object each take the blast's damage. Since the object is enfolded in strands of aether, even if you use this power on a magic weapon or other unusual object, the attack doesn't use any of the magic weapon's bonuses or effects; it simply deals your blast damage. Alternatively, you can loosen the strands of aether in order to deal damage to both the object and the target as though you had thrown the object yourself (instead of dealing your normal blast damage).

Hopefully a simple enough question about Telekinetic Blast. I know a blast using a magic weapon doesn't use any of it's bonuses and effects, but does the blast count as say silver if you used a silver weapon or ammunition?

Visually, I'll be using metal sling bullets anyway.


Mark said no, the objects are surrounded by aether so dont have the effect.


You can choose to blast the object as if you were throwing it instead, allowing you to use the bonuses of the weapon or item, but only using the damage of the weapon or item and not your Telekinetic Blast damage. You use the range granted by your Telekinetic Blast for the range of that throw. You will want to pick up Flurry of Blasts and Many Throw if you go this route though.

480 foot thrown +1 returning seeking mithral daggers to the neck. Aw yeah.
