Mordret/Vessels

Initially, he could only make living beings into his vessels, but this changed after he became Supreme. When the Lord of Shadows killed the body of Saint Dar, Mordret discovered he could maintain control of a Transcendent vessel even as it was dying, effectively animating a corpse with a shard of his soul. This ability allowed him to possess fallen soldiers and continue his campaign without engaging in soul duels, as long as the corpse had not been dead for too long and was not too damaged. Mordret also suspected that possessing a Hollow was within his capabilities, though he chose not to attempt it. His vessels inherit the powers of the original inhabitants, and by creating a reflection of the original soul, he could utilize the vessel's Aspect and steal its Memories. In some cases, such as with Smile of Heaven, the vessel had lost its original soul, meaning Mordret would gain only an Ascended body rather than additional powers or memories.^[2]

Mordret makes use of a vessel's Aspect and Memories by creating a reflection of the vessel's original soul. This reflection acts as a link between Mordret's consciousness and the vessel, allowing him to access and utilize the inherent abilities tied to that soul. Through this connection, he can employ the vessel's powers as if they were his own and extract its memories, effectively gaining the knowledge, experiences, and capabilities of the original inhabitant.^[2]
