Precise timing of Spark Transcendence

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

When exactly is "immediately after you Spark Transcendence?"

For example,if I make a Flowing Spirit Strike with my Gleaming Blade ikon, do I get the 2 additional spirit damage per weapon damage die on the two strikes? Or does the ikon lose its immenance power and move to another ikon after I declare my Transcendence, but before the next Strike actions?

I don't believe it makes sense to treat "after you spark" to mean before you actually perform your transcendence activity. Transcendence is the full text of the ability you activate.

It would be immediately after the Transcendence action/activity that you use.

You could kinda think of it as a mandatory free action that you use after the Transcendence action finishes. Except that it isn't an action, so it wouldn't cause problems with abilities that look for 'previous action was'.

So yes, both strikes of Flowing Spirit Strike would benefit from your Gleaming Blade Ikon's Immanence power. But before you can do anything else, the Immanence would leave the Gleaming Blade and go somewhere else.

Yes IMO the "immediately after" is here to make clear that while the Transcendence is in execution the Immanence are still affecting but when it ends the char is no longer affect by that ikon (you are now affected by the Immanence of the new ikon or none if you have only one ikon).

This grants that the Immanence is active and affecting Transcendence and any reactions/free-actions that is triggered by it but won't affect anything after it.

Immediatly after completing the effect of transcendence.

Some Ikons make no sense if this wasnt the case, Such as Titans Breaker which increases the bonus from immanence when transcendance is used.
