Overview
This feature required a VIP subscription, but is now available to everyone.
Lore Slot Abilities are powers placed in the Lore Slot of the Incarnate System. The Lore Slot Abilities are Click Powers which summon one or more controllable pets to your side at -1 to your level, but inherit any Level Shift or Incarnate Shift you possess. Each tree begins with a Common Lore ability which can then be upgraded into the Uncommon Core Lore or Radial Lore variants, available as of Issue 20. With Issue 20.5 12 additional lore sets have been implemented.
A purchase of the Going Rogue expansion is required for players to access the Incarnate System.

DPS of Lore Pets
Testing on the official forums by forum member Deus_Otiosus [1] revealed the following DPS (damage per second) of all Core Superior Allies (one Boss and one Lieutenant) versus a Rikti Pylon unassisted by the player save for taunting the Pylon's attack from attacking the pets and disrupting their attack chains. No other Incarnate abilities were slotted save for Lore, and Cardiac Core Paragon Alpha to boost Lore Pet endurance management.
This information is likely at best out of date, and at worst wholly inaccurate due to rebalances to Lore Pet damage according to Arbiter Hawk in this forum post
