Help to understand how to change damage

Grim Dawn Classes, Skills and Builds

Hi all,
there is a thing i dind’t understood: some talents are able to change some skill damage but not all.

So, for exemple, if i would change mortar physical damage to aether damage, or add aether damage to blackwater cocktail, using reckless power is possibile?
I would create an aether damage demolitionist but i’m starting to believe isn’t possible. Almost all demolitionist skill doing fire/burn damage, so i have to submit myself to this…

there are items that convert a percent of one damage type fire for example to aether damage 100% Damage Conversion Item List. this a list from crate to help with your question

if you convert mortar or blackwater cocktail to aether dmg, then yes Reckless Power % aether dmg will boost - the flat dmg will not as per regular buff/global flat dmg rules

there is an item with conversion to reckless power also Fleshwarped Carbine - Items - Grim Dawn Item Database
*you would still find a way to add the other 50% elemental dmg converted to aether, and physical dmg converted to aether separately
