Possession (Defiance)

Body Possession - This ability type was orignally suppossed to have been given to Raziel in the original version of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 by the High Priestess of the vampire worshippers who could project her spirit into others & use them (this is reffered to as body possession), after defeating her Raziel could use this gift to possess anyone (except for bosses most likely) by projecting his spirit (by use of the manual aim feature like you use for Telekinesis but instead use the soul suck button for possession) into a living body. Raziel eventually learned how to do this on his own but for a different purpose, he performed this when he wanted to Plane Shift from the Spectral realm to the Material realm after the Planar portals were destroyed in Legacy of Kain: Defiance by the Elder god (this is reffered to corpse possession). Raziel would project his soul into a corpse & then reshape the corpse into his form in order to travers the material realm. - Corpse Possession. The Hylden could do both types of possession in Legacy of Kain: Defiance as seen when fighting Humans or Raziel.
