Currently possession is a VERY rare thing in SR. On the other hand, doing it like
Anne Rice does in "The Tale of the Body Thief" seems perfectly reasonable if you
want it in your game. That says that the spirit has an affinity for its "Real"
body,
and you can't knock someone out of their body, but you can inhabit vacant bodies
and once there, it's hard to get you out if you don't want to leave...
