[Infamous] I’m confused here. Are conduits able to turn into their elements or become intangible like logias from One piece? And if so why/how can they be harmed?

Maybe I’m missing something here but the wiki says that they heal on a  molecular level. Also in the games, especially second son, we can clearly see them changing into their element while traveling or being harmed (smoke and neon for example). My question is why they can’t just turn intangible and remain there to mitigate all incoming damage? Why/how are they being harmed? And how does intangibility work in this universe?

Their powers appear to require practice and experience to get to a point where they can freely control them, and most of the characters we see didn't have a whole lot of time to practice since they were trying to hide or only recently gotten their powers. Most likely they just don't know how to stay transformed.
