*nods* That was my thought as well.

I think I'll be going for the nested option. So if the circumstances arise
that the Storm Bull initiate has good reason to reassert themselves (e.g.,
the presence of great chaos, stumbling into the Eternal Battle.. again)
they would have to shake off the control of the Yelmalio librarian and
then the control of the Pavis Champion.

(And whilst all this is happening the visible effects for the other
characters will be quite obvious..)

At least with nesting there's a clear hierarchy of control.

Thanks everyone for the comments! Most entertaining!

All the best,
