Arm shaking, Ginny brought her wand up, exhaling a shaky, teary, "I'm sorry," before her eyes hardened unnaturally, her mouth twisting into an ugly smile. "I'm really very sorry my pet isn't here to deal with you, mad girl."
"Oh. You're not Ginny at all," Luna said, showing just a little bit of uncharacteristic anger. "You give her back right now."

It starts with a gambit from beyond and a mile-long list of people I plan to haunt, hold up
Ol' heresy, headed for disembodiment, as rendered by an excerpt from the Lesser Key of Solomon
Evil see him as a vehicle to commandeer, two fixed pupils, all he say is "Ian's not here"
Pitch it down an octave, I'mma take this opportunity to piss and vomit lava while the neck is lazy susan-ing

"Daemon, I name thee! By the writ of the Holy Ordos, I abjure thee! With silver and sacred fire, I burn thee! With the armour of contempt, I mock thee! Perish in the formless pit of nightmare that spawned thee! In the name of the Emperor, Daemon, I cast thee out!"
"The Wyrm burrows into everything. Humans, spirits, animals - nothing escapes the grasp of destruction and decay in the end. In the old days, before the Wyrm changed from Balancer to Corrupter, this was a natural and expected part of the cycle. Since that change, however, the Wyrm's timing has been off. Sometimes the decay starts... early. Sometimes a Bane wriggles into a living being and reshapes that being's flesh to serve its own needs. The host is sometimes willing, often not, but in either case he can do little but watch as he becomes something else. It is this "something else" - the deformed and tortured foot soldiers of the Wyrm - that concerns this work."

Betelgeuse: There ya go, kid. Couple of five-star reviews.
Lydia: What was that?
Betelgeuse: That was possession. Any ghost can do that in only one lesson.
Lydia: Any ghost?
Betelgeuse: Pretty much any ghost'll do, sure.

Bardin: Look, Azumgi, there's no sense in fretting over Sienna. Zharrin's tough.
Markus: Yeah, but what if she ain't exactly Sienna no more?
Viktor: And what precisely do you mean by that?
Markus: Well, you hear funny things about twins, don't ya? And necromancers. And we did just kill her necromancer twin.
Viktor: Aha, I confess I didn't consider that. You raise a most alarming possibility.
Bardin: Let me get this straight. You reckon Zharrin's been possessed by the spirit of her twin sister? And this isn't a joke?
Viktor: Not possessed exactly...
Markus: But there's defintely more than one set of hands on the reins right now.
Bardin: I'm still waiting for the part where you tell me this is all a joke.

"Possession by the devil used to be fairly rare—I remember when it was just that little girl in The Exorcist—but these days it's as common as strep throat. Before long, we'll have special schools for possessed people, and the government will start requiring large corporations to hire them."
— Dave Barry, "The Plane Truth"
