Well I can't say whether or not omnipotence is possible but of this I am certain. If an omnipotent being did exist its existence would basically be just that, if you are omnipotent you have nothing left to strive for. Personally omnipotence seems more like a curse than blessing. As for the difference between omnipotence and an embodiment of the same that's easy. If you are omnipotent that just means you have power without boundaries or limits. But if you are omnipotence itself that is not the same. Think of it this way. If I fully and completely understand something (which is impossible in itself but that's an issue for another time) then that is one thing. But if I simply am that something than I would be everything about that something. I would be everything that something could be, is, will be, would be, or ever will be. I would be all this and more all simultaneously. One final remark. If I did embody something I wouldn't mind provided I could continue to learn, study, think, and contemplate matters outside that which I embody. That would still be possible but only if one didn't embody concepts such as ignorance.
