This is a reversible condition fixed by either the user, another possession user, and sometimes, a powerful Empath.

* **Level Three:** User can swap bodies with a trusted equine. They will have access to each other's non-holy blessings and lingering, 'phantom' emotions. This can also be done no matter where the equines are across Hireath. They can stay like this for up to five days, though swapping like this will leave both equines exhausted.
