Possession

Remember how Devils can't survive for long in our world? That's why Shells exist. But sometimes, there isn't a convenient one available. Then they have to use more ancient methods.

Sometimes, a Devil doesn't have a Shell built for it. Sometimes, it's Shell is destroyed. And sometimes, they need to be a little more...subtle.
Infernal Possession is difficult to root out at the best of times, as Devils are accomplished liars, and the act of possession itself gives it access to the victim's memories.
