Elemental Blast, Weapon Infusion, and Kineticist

[BenT1]

I have a question about how the feat weapon infusion interacts with with elemental blast.

A kineticist with a wood gate has an elemental blast that does bludgeoning and vitality damage.
Weapon Infusion states: "With a signature flair, you shape blasts of elemental power into the form of a weapon, such as a sword made of whirling wind or a bow that shoots flames. If your next action is an Elemental Blast, choose a weapon shape for it to take. You can CHOOSE to change the blast's damage type to bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing—whichever suits the weapon shape—and you can choose other alterations depending on whether you make a melee or ranged blast."

That capital choose before the blast damage statement is a little ambiguous to me. My question is can you on choose from the 3 types of physical damage, or can your still choose to have your 'weapon' do vitality damage with the options given in the feat?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

I've always read it as you can choose from the three physical types of damage in addition to the damage types your blast could already deal. These aren't exactly rules text, but it seems weird to not be able to shoot fire from "a bow made of flames," as the flavor text says.

For me "can choose" very exactly allows to choose not. So yes, you can keep base types.

Agreed. All are available options.
