Possession
At-Will - Drains 10 of user’s HP per use.
Target: A Pokemon.
Effect: Roll a Link Check, subtract half of your Wisdom stat from the result. If you Channel the Pokemon, it is Possessed. While Possessed, you are in complete control of the Pokemon. You may act during an Encounter as any normal Pokemon would. You have access to the Pokemon’s Move List, Abilities and
Capabilities. You may leave a Possessed Pokemon during your turn as a Trainer Action. If you are Possessing a Pokemon and you are captured, you are trapped until the Pokemon is sent out of its Poke Ball, at which point you may remove yourself from the Pokemon. You may use Trainer Features while Possessing a Pokemon, unless the Feature specifically says that you cannot. While Possessing a Pokemon, using a Move counts as your Trainer Action. If the Pokemon you are possessing faints, you may immediately return to your body. If you are Possessing a Pokemon and they are die, you die as well. While you are Possessing a Pokemon, your Body is left unconscious. It cannot make checks and it may not act on its own accord. You may Channel multiple Pokemon with Mystic Features, but you may only Possess one Pokemon at a time.

Possession Borrow
Daily
Trigger: You leave a Pokemon you were Possessing.
Effect: Choose a Move on the Pokemon’s Move List, whom you are leaving after Possessing them. This is considered a Borrowed Move. You may perform the Borrowed Move, once, as a Trainer Action during the next 24 hours. Use your STR modifier as your attack stat, and your WIS modifier as your special attack stat.

Mechanic: A Shaman who is possessing a Pokemon can still make a Trainer Action, can still Issue a Command and may still Shift. To Shift they must use the Possessed Pokemon’s Speed Capabilities. If during your Trainer Action you use a Feat that enables you to use a Pokemon Move, you use the Possessed Pokemon's appropriate stats instead of your own. Your Command works as normal.

The Shaman is beyond logic. By mending themselves with the flow of the natural world, Shamans have found a way to literally become one with Pokemon. They can place their souls into a Pokemon’s body and use them to their own ends. They also have learned to borrow from the forces of nature, but with a physically alarming consequence.
