Possess a Defeated Player or Sorcerer

Defeating Your Target

First, engage your target sorcerer or player in combat and reduce their health to zero. They must be fully defeated before possession becomes available.

Activating the Hijack

Once your target falls, activate your primary ability to hijack their body. You will immediately take control of their physical form and retain access to your locked abilities from previous hosts. The defeated body will briefly linger on the ground after you've possessed it.

Understanding Possession Penalties

While controlling a stolen vessel, you deal 20% less damage and consume 60% more energy compared to your original body. This makes prolonged combat in a new host more challenging until you adapt to the penalties.

Restrictions on Possession

You cannot possess players or sorcerers with Heavenly Restriction—their bodies are protected from hijacking. Choose alternative targets if you encounter this limitation.

Retaining Your Identity

Depending on your server's settings, you may lose the stolen player's name and skin when possessing them. Check with your server administrator about the doHardcorePossession gamerule.
