Psychokineticist alters burn, how does it affect kinetic healer when an ally accepts burn?
Mind burn: A psychokineticist’s mind strains when he overtaxes himself. He takes a –2 penalty on Will saves, Wisdom checks, and Wisdom-based skill checks for each point of burn he has accepted, rather than taking nonlethal damage from burn. He can accept an amount of burn equal to his Wisdom modifier (rather than 3 + his Wisdom modifier). Otherwise, his burn works just like a normal kineticist’s.
This ability alters burn.
Kinetic healer: With a touch, you can heal a willing living creature of an amount of damage equal to your kinetic blast's damage. Instead of paying the burn cost yourself, you can cause the recipient to take 1 point of burn. If you do so, the recipient takes 1 point of nonlethal damage per Hit Die he possesses, as usual for burn; This damage can't be healed by any means until the recipient takes a full night's rest.
I'm fairly sure the following is correct: The ally would gain a point of burn as normal and, since they don't have the Mind Burn class feature, would take it in the form of nonlethal damage.
The Psychokineticist would receive zero burn, as normal, because the ally took it instead.
To the best of my knowledge, the abilities do not interact at all unless it is somebody else with Kinetic Healer affecting the Psychokineticist, in which case Mind Burn changes the effect of the burn they accepted..

That's my impression as well, thank you for your input.
