Demonic Possession

This spell calls forth a demonic entity to briefly inhabit the body of the caster. While so affected, their hit points, hitroll, and damroll will all be drastically increased, with further bonuses depending on currently-equipped demonbound items. The presence of demonic power renders the caster weak to holy damage, and should they attempt to speak or emote, the demon will instead speak with its own voice. It is also hostile towards spirit scholars and templars, and will force the caster to attack any that pass by. The demon's bloodlust will also make it more difficult to flee from combat.

When demonic possession ends, the spell's recast delay begins and the caster will immediately be forced to a resting position. Their hit points and mana will be reduced by half for the duration of the delay. They will also suffer a penalty to maximum health relational to their level. The exorcism spell can prematurely force the demon out of the caster.

Demonic possession may not be cast in a sanctified room. When this spell is cast, if the caster is affected by spirit shield, protection evil or focus mind, those spells end.
