Kineticist: Infusion specialization not working as intended?
So I finally decided to test my level 14 Kineticist by seeing how much an Earth Blast (0 burn) with Bowling Infusion (substance infusion, 2 burn) + Deadly Earth Infusion (form infusion, 4 burn) costs without any Gather Power or Metakinesis active.

Infusion specialization should reduce the infusion costs by 4 burn since it says starting level 5 burn is reduced by 1 and then 1 more at levels 8, 11, 14, 17, and 20. Therefore, my level 14 Kineticist should get a reduction of 4 burn on an Earth Blast with Bowling/Deadly Earth Infusion and so it should cost 2 burn to use.

However, this is not the case. In the above example, the blast is costing 5 burn to use out of a 6 burn total casting cost, which means it is only being reduced by 1 burn.

This leads to the conclusion that my level 14 Kineticist is somehow stuck with Infusion Specialization level 5 and not getting the additional benefits for casting with Infusion Specialization level 14.

Comments welcome.

I detected some bugs as well: when Kaessi uses her range form-infusion with a substance, it's possible, that at least 1 burn isn't counted to the reduce. If I deselect the substance-infusion and directly select it again, the reduce is counted.

I'm only level 10 with my kinetist and use fire and air as elements (changed from fire and earth... I consider my change an error, btw. But I'm too far in the game, now, to change that again or load the old save...)

Maybe, if you deselect and select the substances again, the reduce counts?

Also: It seems, that the psychokinetist elemental load isn't working as intended. I'm on a "beneath the stolen lands"-rogue-like game with one and level 8 at least. But I don't have any attribute-bonuses (on a Psycho, these are the mental attributes). I know from the normal one, that they appear in the ability-choice-screen in the ui, when I have at least 3 burn. But on a psychic they don't appear... (I have at least 6 available burn with my psychic, having a wisdom of 22, so selecting 3 times an ability, which requires burn, should activate the attribute-bonus-choices.)
