Kineticist Ghost

[Raetu]

Hey folks. Long story short, I am working on a challenging opponent (final-ish boss) to throw in to an up-coming game and thought that a villain that hops about via possession in to various bystanders and/or the heroes and then throws magic unpleasantness at them would do the job nicely.

Recognizing that I'm the DM and can do more or less what I want, I still like to make things work within the written rules, so my questions are:

1- Could a ghost kineticist possessing someone with its magic jar-like ability still use its SLAs?

2- Could a ghost kineticist possess an elemental summoned with Spark of Life?

3- Could a ghost kineticist, being undead, use a possessed person's body to accept burn?

Any thoughts folks?

You should totally make the ghost kineticist an overwhelming soul (or use a prana ghost from Occult Bestiary; the sample is a kineticist).

That said:

1) As long as they aren't based on its ghostly form, should work.

2) magic jar seems to imply it works on creatures that have souls separate from their bodies that you can push out, so potentially not technically, but you could houserule it as a special for this ghost regardless.

3) The ghost still personally wouldn't have a Con score and can't take nonlethal damage. Overwhelming soul and prana ghost both have you covered, though.

Thank you for your help.

I'm afraid I don't have the book with that particular monster in it, and the D20pfsrd site's info on it didn't match up well enough with my concept, so it'll definitely have to be an OS.
