Description: Casting this spell allows a nearby spirit
to possess a living body. The target creature
and the spirit must compete for the highest
Drive check. The winner controls the body
of the target creature. If the spirit wins,
then it enters the body of the target creature
and continues to surpress the owner.
The owner may fight with the possessing
spirit continually, if desired, but they
suffer - 17 to ability and skill checks while
being possessed. However, if the owner is
submissive and only fights for control once
per week, then an ability or skill check may
be made with only a penalty of - 3. An
owner may eject a possessing spirit only if a
Drive check of the owner exceeds the Drive
check of the possessing spirit by at least 17.
Creatures other than the owner are
unable to eject the possessing spirit except
by magical means.
