It would seem perfectly reasonable to replace the Will/HT roll with some other kind of trigger. (A hypnotic technique, electromagnetic deep brain stimulation, a spoonful of live yoghurt to trip a biochemical switch...) Or just dump the need for a trigger when all that get instantiated is a quirk-level feature.

This is a one-point perk we're talking about, remember. Getting all rules-lawyer about something which belongs in the fuzzy "GM's judgement" zone seems like missing the point.
