=== Pomme Incarnates ===
Also know as Kernel incarnates are a concentration of Incarnate power found somewhere in a immaterial realm, non-sapient, sessile, not even a rudimentary personality guiding it, tend to accrue over hundreds of years.<ref>The Pomme Incarnate is a kernel of Incarnate power, typically manifesting in Earth-adjacent realms, from a 'seed' of some kind of power, be it an item representative of an incarnation, an item in one of the echo-touched realms that has stored sentiment and power (such as a Ghend's treasure), or something left behind by a practitioner.  It draws echoes to it and grows in size and power.  Typically very powerful, the most notable thing about the Pomme Incarnate is that it doesn't have motive force.  It doesn't move, attack, or defend itself.  They range from the size of a baseball to the size of a house, but trend smaller, and often have intense appearances, throbbing with power while being framed with echoes.  Pommes take centuries to mature to even the smaller forms.<br><br>Those who meet the Pomme halfway (taking a bite of the 'apple', inserting one's arm into the aperture, or passing within, as examples) will be confronted with the Incarnation's force majeure, the full weight of the inevitable.  The most unworthy are absorbed into the Pomme in a merciful end, the most worthy, should they be willing and able to face the Pomme's power to the end, are granted wisdom, power matching or dwarfing typical embodiments of the Incarnate, and/or the ability to rewrite events, past, present, or future.  This isn't an easy task, and many will only pass halfway between the two extremes, often destroying themselves or going mad, but gaining the ability to change events or perform a great act in the process.<br><br>Would you be able to reach within and keep hold of the power inside, if you had to experience every childbirth ever to occur in human history, one after another, in what seemed like a million or more years to you but were minutes to others?  Would you be able to bear the full weight of every individual dying around the world over the hours you spent in the Pomme's embrace, without tearing yourself free?  To have an impossible child?  To bring one person back? - Wildbow on Discord</ref> Most who try to 'eat' a Pomme's power are overwhelmed and absorbed or too addled by the experience to use their new abilities as intended. Any attempted use will cause the Pomme to relocate, size changing whether it absorbed or spent power on a person, someone who secures the unalloyed boon will use up the Pomme.<ref> - Wildbow on Discord</ref>
