A Passenger is a spirit that lays dormant inside a body until activated by a magical code word. According to The Old Ones, they lay dormant like parasites until activated. They are primarily used by innovative witches whom were never intrigued of departing onto The Other Side.
Creation[]
To become a passenger, a witch must pronounce the words Jaryakat en zem Daryeet acza holding in his hands the head of the person they wish to possess. The recipient's eyes will then darken, confirming the transfer. Passengers can take permanent control of their hosts bodies. In order for this to happen the body of the passenger and some blood from the host is required and then a ritual is performed and the body of the passenger is burned.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Possession: The act of controlling and manipulating the body of a living person. Apparently, a passenger's presence inside of another sentient being renders that being insusceptible to certain powers, like mind control.
Weaknesses[]
- Time: Unlike most forms of possession, a passenger can only remain in control of the host for a limited time before the host regains control.
- Activation Requirement: Once the passengers lose control, they return to being dormant and cannot regain control of their hosts unless the host bodies hear the activation or summoning word, Vyjdi.
Trivia[]
- Passengers can take permanent control of their hosts bodies, but only if additional spells are performed to grant them such control,
- There is only one blade which can kill passengers permanently and remove it from the host's body.
- The Passenger Spell can be used by witches to put their spirits in vampires. It has not been revealed if witches can transfer themselves to other supernatural beings such as werewolves or hybrids.
