Wielders of the World

Without a mortal body to express themselves 'Pons are forcibly dormant until acted upon by a soul with an actual body. When a 'Pon is touched by such a mortal the two souls enter a conversation as if they were two whole beings seeing eye-to-eye. 'Pons are able to express themselves within mind and heart in this way, and so the two forms of life are able to communicate. When a true mortal interacts with a 'Pon in this way they are capable of a process known as "wielding" in which they allow the soul of the 'Pon to inhabit their body, offering only guidance as they surrender complete control of their physical form so that it may express itself. In giving up their body to the 'Pon the mortal is gifted in turn with the strength and life-force of the 'Pons soul made manifest, while wielding any harm that would befall the mortal body instead saps the energy from the 'Pon required to keep going. What would be fatal to the wielder only causes the 'Pon to become damaged and eventually break, the objects that 'Pons inhabit are crucially able to be repaired where the body of a mortal is gone forever after suffering a fatal blow. When a 'Pon expresses itself once given a body the expressions are never vocal. While they may speak within a mortal's thoughts before wielding, they truly yearn for the realm of the physical. Each thought and wish of a 'Pon is assigned to the creation of certain energies or techniques of movement, a whole thought is hashed out in a coordinated show of force. This means that if two 'Pons wish to talk with each other for any reason, or if a mortal being wishes to speak directly with a 'Pon that another person is holding, the two are forced to clash physical movements together for any information to be shared.
