Notes:

1. Targets the mind of a single living Being.
2. Possession causes the consciousness of the Possessor to be transferred into the mind of the Possessed.  The mind of the Possessed retains access to the senses of their body but cannot Cast Spells and can only engage in Wp Battles to regain control of their mind.  The body of the Possessor is in Suspended Animation.
3. The Possessor has complete control of the mind and body of the Possessed, but has the Experience of the Possessor.  They have their own Ft, Th & MU abilities, but use the SP, HP and any Powers of the Possessed.
4. The Possessed makes a st every 24 houurs to regain control.  The StMod still applies (but is reduced as above immediatley before making the st).
5. Caster may end the Possession at any time.  The Possession automatically ends when Duration expires or if Possessed is succesfully Exorcised..  When the Possession ends and the Caster's consciousness returns to their own mind.  If their body is dead, they die.  If their body is Undead and still has a brain (e.g. it is a Zombie, not a Skeleton), their consciousness returns to the Undead body.
