Exemplar and Ikons

[Waldham]

Hello, I have a question about exemplar.

Quote:

when you Spark Transcendence, the force of the act temporarily casts your divine spark out of the ikon.

Immediately after you Spark Transcendence, your divine spark is forcefully ejected from that ikon, coming to rest in another ikon of your choice.

Round 1 : Shift Immanence in Ikon 1, spark transcendence Ikon 1, eject from Ikon 1 to other Ikon (ex : Ikon 2)

Round 2 : Ikon 2 (already Immanence without shift Immanence ?), spark transcendance Ikon 2, eject from Ikon 2 to other ikon

Round 3 : Ikon 1 (is it possible already to return Ikon 1 without eject to ikon 2 ?)

Epithet :

Quote:

You can benefit from no more than one epithet ability each time you Spark Transcendence.

You must choose an ability between root epithet, dominion, sovereigny when you spark transcendence, it is not possible to activate the three at the same time, is it right ?

Reach for Immortality :

Quote:

You reach for your divine spark and seize it in your hand to survive at 0 Hit Points, purging yourself of any negative conditions. Invigorated by this return to life, you then heal yourself for half of your total Hit Points, Stand, instantly summon any held ikons to your hand, and Shift your Immanence to any of your ikons.

Is it all ikons with activated Immanence or one of the ikons with activated Immanence ?

Thanks for your future answer.

Round 2: Yes, unless somehow the Immanence has moved, it would still be in Ikon 2 because that is where it was last left.

Round 3: You could move the Immanence around manually with Shift Immanence.

After Spark Transcendence in Round 2 it wouldn't be in Ikon 2, but it could be in either Ikon 1, another third Ikon that hasn't been mentioned in the example previously, or in the depths of your character's soul and not in any Ikon. If the Ikon you want to Spark Transcendence on in Round 3 isn't powered, you will have to Shift Immanence first.

I haven't really looked into the Epithet rules much, so I will leave that one to others to answer.

It says any Ikon. I am not going to add restrictions to that.

In Round 2, when you spark transcendence for ikon 2 the immanence ejected from ikon 2 can be returned to ikon 1 (if you wish). In Round 3, if the immanence is in a different ikon than ikon 1 you can spend an action to shift it to ikon 1 and still spark transcendence for ikon 1.

The exemplar requires a bit of immanence juggling when sparking transcendence for the increased benefits.

Each epithet has a special ability that can be used when sparking transcendence. The exemplar can only use one transcendence ability, from those available from that exemplar's epithets, but which one can be chosen each time they spark transcendence.

Any means any one; any does not mean all.

There aren't and can't be 'ikonS with activated Immanence'. I don't even see a feature or a feat which does this. There can't be either just 'ikon with activated Immanence'. There can be an icon empowered with your one single spark. This activates Immanence. There's a spark in an icon - there's Immanence. No spark - no Immanence. There's only one Spark. It can be only in one icon.

"Each ikon has both a passive immanence effect and an active transcendence effect. Both of these effects require your divine spark to be in the item."
"You shift your power, filling one of your ikons with your divine spark. ... granting you that ikon’s immanence effects for as long as your divine spark is empowering it. Your spark is indivisible, so it can empower only one ikon at a time."
