When possessed, you have control of the creature’s body and you can use it to move or take actions on both its turn and yours.

If you continue to possess it, the creature makes an Intelligence saving throw. If it succeeds on a saving throw, you are shunted back into your body and take 1d12 psychic damage.

Once you successfully possess a creature, you cannot use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
