Hi all,

Does anyone have a good (chracter stats) example of a mage that uses spirits to posess him in order to gain their benefits and powers as a specialization?

Not sure what exactly you're saying, but a possession mage having a spirit possess himself is fairly common. For a decent example, take the Combat Mage sample character, and make him from a Possession tradition, and that'll do nicely. Remember that unless they are an initiate with Channeling, they can't use their own skills or abilities while possessed. They can still direct the spirit's actions, but they're like a backseat driver in their own body.

High magic, high drain attribute, high willpower, low everything else, decent edge(3+), high summoning skill, high binding skill, high spellcasting skill, high counterspelling.  Initiation 1, channeling.  Initiation 2, masking.  Initiation 3, probably centering.  Initiation 4, extended masking or flexible signature.

Okay, thanks for the info. I'll go build one.
I have to say I'm not that familiar yet with mages. So I'll dive into it and learn.
