Reward Type: Complex Spell (90 pts) Link to AC Post:Right here! Description: POSSESSION! let’s just go full tilt creepy ghost with this bitch. Zangetsu is a spirit most of the time and only has a physical body because the Ringmaster made him one. This spell would allow him to possess not only his false body, but the bodies of the living and the dead, as well as “cohabiting” temporarily with an ally. Depending on the willingness of the host, this ability can be divided into two main categories; Parasitic and Symbiotic.
Parasitic possession is what you would expect — Zangetsu forces his soul into the body of a living person, forcing that person’s soul and consciousness into the back seat. This is very difficult to do, and works best on people who are already weakened, or are unconscious. How long Zangetsu can maintain control before being kicked out depends on the fortitude of the host. He can also animate freshly dead bodies and animals this way. While parasitically possessing someone, he can use his soul sense and boost the strength of the body, as well as using the physical abilities of the body (wings, claws, etc) but no magic and none of his other personal special abilities.
Symbiotic possession is a mutual agreement between Zangetsu and an ally where he enters the body of the ally and “co-pilots”. The ally still has control of their body and themselves, but they will be augmented with some of Zan’s abilities… and Zangetsu will be there yakking in their figurative ear. The only abilities they will have access to are the following; soul sense, air-walking/reishi manipulation, Sonído/high speed movement, and high-speed regeneration. The amount of time that the pair can stay together depends on soul compatibility (closeness of CR, pretty much) and can last anywhere from 15 seconds to 15 minutes — longer with practice.
However, this boost is not without risks. Hollow souls are somewhat toxic to others and being in close contact with Zangetsu can leave lasting effects. These effects include mild to moderate pain in the chest region, soul fatigue, and increased hunger. While having Zan as a soul-roommate, the host will feel his usual emptiness/pain and hunger, which will fade once he leaves.
Aesthetically, any person possessed by Zangetsu, against their will or otherwise, will gain brilliant golden yellow eyes with black sclera and a reverberating voice. These go away after he leaves but could potentially be retained as changes if the player so desires!
TL;DR ZANGETSU HANGS OUT IN OTHER PEOPLE’S BODIES AND ANTICS ENSUE.
I know this might be more than the average complex spell, so I’m willing to fork over all 100 of my points for it, or wait until I have some more if needed!
