In the Psion UA, there are 3 feats that state "Once per turn when you cast a spell or hit with an attack roll and deal Bludgeoning, Piercing, Slashing, or Psychic damage, you can change the damage type to [Fire/Cold/Lightning] damage."
Meanwhile Great Old One Warlock's Psychic Spells states "When you cast a Warlock spell that deals damage, you can change its damage type to Psychic."
Does this mean that a Great Old One Warlock with Pyrokinesis, for example, can change the damage type of all of their warlock spells to fire? (change to psychic with psychic spells than into fire with pyrokinesis)
Too bad its once per turn, that could have had some fun synergy with eldritch blast. I don't think it will come up often enough for it to matter, it would be a weak choice, especially since none of the wild talent feats are 1/2 feats. But it would be fun.
It would, though trading psychic for fire is generally a downgrade due to resistance frequency. 😅
Well, there's a fair number of immune to psychic creatures (mostly constructs), though there's a good chance that the original damage type of the spell is a better choice in that case.

It's always handy to have the option to set something on fire. Everybody loves Psychic damage until they have to fight a goddamn rug or something.
