Does Kinetic Healer harm Dhampir?

Title. The wiki, predictably, is useless on this matter.

Does it specifically say something about harming undead? Some healing abilities are specifically stated to be positive energy and state they harm undead. Others just heal regardless.

While positive energy usually heals the living, and negative energy usually heals the undead, this isn't always the case. Using the lich path to turn all your spells into negative energy will not cause your spells (like a negative energy fireball) to heal undead, for example.

Kinetic Healer is positive. WotR is missing the Void kinetic element. Its Void Healer would have functioned as Kinetic Healer, but for undead and those who are healed by negative energy.

Kineticist Expanded Elements[github.com], well, "expands" the available elements to include Aether, Void and Wood. Plus all of their infusions. Pretty sure it also has Void Healer in it. Contrary to Void Healer, a "normal" Void Blast dealing negative energy wouldn't heal your dhampir.

Just because it doesn't explicitly say it's positive energy doesn't mean it isn't.

Thanks for the recommendation. Is that not on Nexus Mods, though? It'd make it far easier to check for updates and whatnot.

There are many mods only available on github. But in this case said mod can also be found on nexus[www.nexusmods.com].

If you wish to stay updated on WotR's modding scene, it's far easier to use ModFinder[www.nexusmods.com]. It's a tool that automatically checks both github and nexus for WotR mods. With it you can install, update, uninstall mods with the press of a button. Pretty handy little thing. Highly recommended.

Thanks. I just realized that Kineticist literally just has the four basic elements, regardless of archetype. I thought maybe one of the other archetypes had access to a different one, but no. Makes me sad because this is my favorite class thus far.
