Seems to be because the lua script for Fire shot (and all other elemental shots) is simply getting the existing power of effects like burn, etc. and then multiplying them by 1.2 so it could exponentially build up per use. Not sure on a fix yet but we need a way to identify if the burn, etc. was already modified by an elemental shot before allowing it to do that power change.

My suggestion would be to use subPower to track the amount of modified power so we can check if it's already powered up, but would require updating the BRD's trenody effect to track resistance_type in subId instead of subPower, would make more sense anyway.
