When you choose this discipline at 1st level, you learn the energy ray talent. This talent does not count against the number of psion talents you know.

Also at 1st level, you choose one of the following damage types: cold, fire, lightning or thunder. The damage type you choose is your energy specialization which other Kineticist features make reference to.

Starting at 2nd level, when you cast energy ray and chose to deal damage with your energy specialization, you add your Intelligence modifier to the damage it deals on a hit.

Also at 2nd level, you gain resistance to the damage type of your energy specialization. When you reach 14th level, you gain immunity to the same type of damage.

Starting at 6th level, whenever a psychokinesis power you use deals damage with your energy specialization, you may spend 5 psi points to cause the power’s damage to ignore a creature’s resistance to that damage type, if any. Psi points you spend to use this feature do not count toward your psi limit when manifesting a power.

Beginning at 10th level, if you cast energy ray to deal the damage type of your energy specialization, the target of the attack takes damage equal to your Intelligence modifier when you miss.

When you reach 14th level, if you use a psychokinesis power capable of dealing damage with your energy specialization, you may spend 13 psi points (ignoring your psi limit) to treat a targeted creature’s damage immunity to your energy specialization as damage resistance instead. You cannot use this feature and Ardent Energy on the same manifestation of a psychokinesis power.
