Do immanence effects of the Exemplar class linger when you Spark Transcendence to a different ikon?
Take the Red-Gold Mortality feat, for example. If I Strike with my weapon Ikon, then ST to a different ikon, can the targets wounds be healed because I am no longer on my weapon ikon, and so don't benefit from its imminence effects?
Or does it only need to be active at the time of the initiating strike?

"Granting you that ikon’s immanence effects for as long as your divine spark is empowering it": the effect in this case is "When you successfully damage an enemy with the ikon, a marking appears around the wound, painted in the red of mortal blood and the gold of divine ichor...". You don't have it when your immanence is shifted. But the mark on the enemy is a different effect, it has a save, a duration and a condition to expire. It doesn't depend on your immanence state. Like a spell. So no, the marked target still has mark's effect and yes, only at the initiating strike.

I would go off of the rules for magical effects that cause secondary effects with a different duration.
If the secondary effect has a duration specified, then it persists for its listed duration.
If the secondary effect has a way of naturally reducing or removing it (ex. Frightened, Sickened, or something custom and described in the effect itself) then it persists until it is removed in its normal way.
If the secondary effect has no duration specified and has no way of being removed naturally, then it ends immediately when the primary effect ends.
Red-Gold Mortality's secondary effect lasts either until they get healing, or up to a maximum of 1 minute. That is a specified duration or a duration with a natural way of removing it. So the healing prevention effect would persist after immanence shifts to a different Ikon.

Agreed with Finoan, but I don't think affliction/condition rules apply here. (I assume those are the rules reffered to due to the wording given)
I would rather point to this.
Most effects are discrete, creating an instantaneous effect when you let the GM know what actions you are going to use. Firing a bow, moving to a new space, or taking something out of your pack all resolve instantly. Other effects instead last for a certain duration. Once the duration has elapsed, the effect ends. ...
...Instead of lasting a fixed number of rounds, a duration might end only when certain conditions are met (or cease to be true). If so, the effects last until those conditions are met.
Aka, Effects lasts the duration listed or until an explicitly stated condition is met. Red-Gold mortality does not list that its effect goes away when your spark shifts or no longer imbues your weapon ikon. So it does not go away upon shifting or using Trancendance.
