Over-infused Blasts

[Quacksalber]

Can someone explain to me how this perk works?

hm well you can make a blast more powerful than the mitigation factors like gathering power. when that happens the blast will have a number on it 1 -2 -3 -4 and so on if the number is > than the amount of burn you can take you cannot cast the blast typically kinetists can take burn 3 + con modifiers the other archetypses take either 3 burn max flat (dark elementalist) no burn (kinetic engine ) or 3+base stat depending on class note though you loose hps for each burn so if your constitution is low your character might fall unconcious and wont get up with healing.... (you ll need to cast bears endurance on them to get their hp higher than the burn)
you can increase the power of the blast by : adding infusions, like tripping an old favourite, or dispel (my new favourite) or by adding metakinetic feats on it like empower maximize or quicken.
you reduce it by gathering power, you can gather power as a move action full round action or wholeround action.

oh you mean the mythic ability sorry. brainfart there.
kinetist can reduce the total cost of a blast by 1 after some level this increases the total cost reduction by 1 more. ie: if you empower + max a fire blast the cost will be 0 (blast cost) +1 (empower)+ 2(maximize) you will get 3 burn with that perk you will get 2. if you are above a certain level you will only get one and if you use a move action it will cost no burn at all.

I thought it meant we could use more than one element with a blast, but it seems to mean more than one infusion, like bowling plus pushing or w/e?
