He's done it before, even in his home world. Invented a technique - Empathy - which allows the user to do just that. To take a spirit into their own body, to experience that life through their own eyes and skin. It's never easy. Each time the hammer comes down, the sword pushes forward, the dagger drops, the last breath draws, he's launched back into his own body feeling deeply unsettled.
