Does Mated Birds in Paired Flight work with Twin Stars

[estarner]

Im trying to discern the correct interaction here. Twin Stars feat states that you split your weapon ikon into two nearly identical copies and both benefit from being an ikon. Mated Birds in Paired Flight has the requirement that you must have two weapon ikons.

So my question is, would Twin Stars being active mean that you are currently holding two weapon ikons, or does that still only count as one?

I was about to post the same exact question.

I *think* it works because Mated birds doesn't require two "different" weapon Ikons, it just wants 2 weapon Ikons, and Twin stars states that it makes a copy.. so a copy of an Ikon should still be an Ikon, right?

Twin star even states that the second weapon is empored by the Spark as an Ikon.

Actually thinking about it I am not sure Additional Ikon can even be used with Mated Birds in Paired Flight, since you can only have your Spark in one Ikon at a time, the only exception is Twin Stars which has both halves of the weapon invested with the Spark.

It would seem like both weapons would need to have the Spark for the Immanence for Mated Birds in Paired Flight, let alone the Transcendence, and unless the whole bonded thing listed before the Immanence somehow lets different weapon Ikons share the Spark or something, but that could cause some weird stuff with different kinds of Ikon Weapons, it would seem like two different Weapon Ikons could not be used at the same time.

Nah, see, the Immanence explicitly affects both weapons as long as one is empowered. Think of it as the one that's Empowered has a magnetic effect on the other one, so regardless of which one you throw the magnetic pull will bring reunite them, and the one that got thrown has reduced resistance to being pulled. Likewise with the Transcendence, it's an effect of the Empowered one that just happens to affect both Ikons at the same time. Similar to how your Worn Ikons manage to affect your allies, despite them not being directly imbued with your Divine Spark.
