In Sanskrit, this powerful tantra has the sesquepedalian name of parapurakayapravesa. It enables a magician to enter and possess the body of another person. The sorcerer can then "learn his mind, understand his experiences, and even enjoy his wives." Although the sexual possibilities are not lost on sadhus, they also find more practical uses for the ritual. For instance, this ritual enables an undead sadhu to live again in another person's body, if only for a short time.
The tantra requires a drum made from the top of a human skull, the sacrifice of a horse to Shiva, an oblation of soma and finally drinking the soma dregs mixed with the horse's blood. The spell also requires something that came from the mortal victim's body, such as hair or feces, which likewise burs in the sacrificial fire. The sadhu vanishes and merges with the victim, wherever he may be. The sadhu performs the ritual at a shrine to Shiva previously consecrated by the magician and used ofr worship for at least a year.
System: The ritual works only on mortal humans (not anyone with any sort of supernatural powers, but they cannot resist its power - assuming the sadhu's player makes a successful roll. The ritual works no matter how great the target's distance.
The effect resembles the Dominate power of Possession, but with certain advantages and limitations. The possessing sadhu can act freely during the day - her own body doesn't have to stay awake because it doesn't exist - and she can riffle freely through the victim's memories and use his Abilities as if they were her own. If she wants, the sorcerer can simply ride along and share the victim's mind and experiences while remaining hidden. On the other hand, the possessor cannot use and Disciplines at all. The possession ends at the next sunset, when the sadhu reappears in his own body at the site of the sacrifice. The sadhu can voluntarily end the body-filling before then, but had best be sure that her shrine is not then in daylight...
When the possession ends, the victim regains control of his mind and body. The effect on the victim depends on the Storyteller's discretion. If the magician passively "rode along," the victim might suffer nothing worse than a few nightmares. If the sadhu engages in abhorrent crimes and degradations while in the victim's body, the spiritual violation might place the victim in a coma for days, or even have accompanying Humanity problems.
