*hums* I've been hoping for something like this since... I got malach.
Basically I would love some credit purchasable ability for a pet owner to possess the body of their pet. Skills wouldn't transfer, you'd only be able to do what your pet would normally be able to (talk and emote only with sentience, attack is just a single command that sets them into that mode)
One of my main reasons for wanting this is simply because of how cool it would be to have malach fly over to Celest or wherever and deliver messages on my, or anothers, behalf then hearing the replies and all that. I can technically do this already thanks to my ability to order him via tells but the major problem with doing this at a distance is that I have no idea what is happening in the room, or even who is without someone on the inside or constant who spamming.
I do acknowledge the potential for spying via this as such I'd suggest:
-If a pet dies that is not invincible: The owner dies
-If an invincible pet is possessed: The pet can be knocked out, the pet doesn't actually die but the owner loses their possession
-Pets must be in the room with their owner to be possessed, once possessed the owner can only perform commands that are enabled by the pets abilities.
-The owners body is stuck in a meditative form (similar to dreamweaving when it works) wherever the possession took place.
-The owner can end the possession willingly but must do so carefully unless they are at their body.
-Macts don't work while possessed.
It would be expensive and really only a spying/rp tool, but it could be really cool.
