This will reduce the amount of time they can be under Yokōkaze's control to mere seconds with enough willpower. Furthermore, Yokōkaze can only perform this technique on a single person at a time, and it can only be maintained for a total of thirty minutes. As such, she uses significant amounts of caution when it comes to her performance as even a perfect usage of this technique, extended to the maximum amount of time will leave her winded.

- Demonic Possession, also sometimes known as Demon Possession, is the supposed violation of the human body and soul by evil forces, normally labelled as demons under Christian faith - though almost all religions (even those outwith Christianity) have similiar belief in "unclean spirits". Demonic Possession was once believed to be the main cause of all misery in the world and healers, priests and other holy men and women were tasked with the unenviable job of exorcising the often violent spirits out of the body and mind of the afflicted. Demonic Possession was likely used to explain very real conditions such as psychosis, hallucinations, multiple-personality-disorders, sleep paralysis and other medical ailments - with exorcism being seen as the only way to cure these conditions in societies that had not yet began to think in scientific terms. Due to the fact awareness has spread on medical conditions (especially mental health) most mainstream churches are wary of performing exorcisms in the modern age but some will perform the ritual if they believe that evidence falls in favor of an actual possession rather than an illness of mind or body. Science is normally critical of such claims but a controversial psychologist once spoke of how he at least believed that their was such a thing as "spiritual evil" and that it could account for some behaviors normally attributed to sociopaths - his believes however are not shared by the majority of scientists. Without science, however, there are many who still believe that evil or restless spirits can take possession of others and they look to their priests, tribal leaders, shamans, or similar figures, to aid as they have done for centuries.
- Why hello there! Kelvek the Seducer welcomes you to her den of decadence. What? Of course Kelvek the Seducer is a woman! Are these Femme Fatalons not proof enough? The male body she currently inhabits is but a meat-dress for her demonic essence. You see, my pretty, Kelvek the Seducer has taken Demonic Possession of this fragile and beautiful body from its rightful owner. How did she do this? Oh, there are so many delectable ways! 1.
* First, by taking over an Empty Shell or once a mortal's Deal with the Devil is up and his Soul is yours. Once you own the "landlord," so to speak, the house is yours. 2.
* Secondly you can always forcibly take over anyone foolish enough not to realize Evil Is Not a Toy. The Religion of Evil and other foul Cults are usually nice enough to pick pretty sacrifices for us to inhabit, as well as those who work Black Magic. A plus in this method is that you get a wonderful, echoing Voice of the Legion. The strong willed may need to be worn down first though, otherwise they might try Fighting From the Inside. I prefer making them Hear Voices. 3.
* The third way is popular among mummies and Sealed Evil in a Can; any Artifact of Doom that is a Soul Jar, when held, lets the sealed spirit take over the possessed. 4.
* A fourth way is to let the victim think he is possessing you! First, you let them think that by summoning and then "binding" you *Ohohoho* they will get Powers Via Possession, but they never Read the Fine Print in this Deal with the Devil. The more they use our powers the more The Corruption takes root and lets us take over. Delectably ironic, isn't it? Puppeteer Parasite can do this with science, but it lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. The Virus on the other hand simply cores out the host's mind like an apple, effectively "killing" the original personality and soul of the host immediately. And the Living Doll Collector uses People Puppets, how ingenious! What amazes Kelvek the Seducer is that you humans do it to each other, not that it isn't deliciously kinky. Also, though it shames Kelvek the Seducer to admit it, this trope is not solely restricted to demons. Angelic Possession works in precisely the same way, except that those feathery hypocrites don't know how to have fun with it. You may notice that I tend to appear slightly obscured behind the possessed in artful depictions. This pleasantly subtle fact emphasizes that Kelvek the Seducer is "in charge." Sadly, mirrors will reveal Kelvek's true nature, making social outings... problematic. Oh, don't worry. I assure you, Kelvek the Seducer is the only one here. If my ten brothers would be with me, we would be Many Spirits Inside of One. But then it would be narrow in this body and I don't like lack of space. And don't think about trying to get chummy with me; some may like a Symbiotic Possession, where the host and the guest are on good terms with each other, but I'm not a very sociable person. Hmm, you aren't bad looking yourself. Would you mind terribly if I "change clothes"...? Examples of Demonic Possession include:

Other believe that a demonic force takes over the victim's nervous system, killing the host in the process, and does what it wants with the hosts body. Regardless of how it functions, the possession is obviously exceptionally painful but also gives the victim increased strength. One example is a quite overweight zombie encountered by a marine on Mars-city. Although being extremely overweight, the zombie was fully capable of holding his own against a fully trained marine in a fight. Some people have been able to overcome the process possession, and fully reap the advantages of having been possessed. Dr. Malcolm Betruger managed to harness the demon that possessed him and even brought a sergeant back to life to combat the marine making his way through Mars-city.
- Demonic possession happens when Satan or another demon forcefully inhabits a human body. The oldest known references to demonic possession come from the ancient Sumerians, who believed that all diseases, of both the mind and the body, were caused by "sickness demons" known as gidim. Thankfully, the priests (known as ashipu, or sorcerers) had exorcisms of their own to banish these spirits. Many cultures and most major religions have some concept of demonic possession, but it varies considerably. The Roma people believe that demons can also possess animals, the dead, plants, or inanimate objects. Symptoms of demonic possession include:
* Erased memories
* Convulsions and fits
* Speaking in tongues
* Superhuman strength
* Access to hidden knowledge (previously unknown)
* Drastic changes in tone of voice and facial expressions
* Unexplained injuries (scratches or bite marks)
* Piercing eyes (said in some cases to turn totally black)
* Major changes in personality
* Uncharacteristic aggression and antisocial behaviors
* A disregard for modesty
* An aversion to religious icons or sacred objects
* Self-mutilation
* Foul language
* May exhibit supernatural powers (i.e. precognition, retrocognition, mind-reading, levitation, etc.)
* Scratches or welts in the form of writing or symbols
* Multiple voices emanating from one person
* Compulsive sinning
* Mental and emotional problems
* Unnatural sexual desires To make a long story short (too late), there are innumerable physical and mental signs of demonic possession, and demonic possession means trouble.

Many cultures and religions contain some concept of demonic possession, but the details vary considerably. The oldest references to demonic possession are from the Sumerians, who believed that all diseases of the body and mind were caused by "sickness demons" called gidim or gid-dim. The priests who practiced exorcisms in these nations were called ashipu (sorcerer) as opposed to an asu (physician) who applied bandages and salves. Many cuneiform tablets contain prayers to certain gods asking for protection from demons, while others ask the gods to expel the demons that have invaded their bodies. Shamanic cultures also believe in demon possession and shamans perform exorcisms. In these cultures, diseases are often attributed to the presence of a vengeful spirit (or loosely termed demon) in the body of the patient. These spirits are more often the spectres of animals or people wronged by the bearer, the exorcism rites usually consisting of respectful offerings or sacrificial offerings. Christianity holds that possession derives from the Devil, i.e. Satan, or one of his lessor demons. In many Christian belief systems, Satan and his demons are actually fallen angels.
