'''Possession Fatigue'''?

^ Renard's possession simply kills the host - no variants, no other side effects. Closer here is Whitelegs possession, which was very taxing for [[spoiler:Jack Hyland]], though he gradually recovered.

* TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms has deities very strongly involved in the world's affairs. They are known to possess people sometimes, but can't keep the body in a good shape for long even in the perfect circumstances - it's simply TooMuchForManToHandle.
** Elue Silverhand voluntarily got possessed by Mystra in order to give birth to the innately {{semi divine}} Seven Sisters. Her husband noticed that something very unhealthy goes on, and with an expert's help managed to determine that a very powerful entity rides her, but not who - because, naturally, if the goddess of magic tries to keep a little secret, everyone else is down to guess-work. Since nothing else helped, Dornal decapitated his wife to "free" from the possession. From this point it all got ''really awkward'' for everyone involved, of course.
