A request for critique on this ritual:

Quote:
Walking Possession Agreement
Spell Effects: Greater Control Mind + Lesser Sense Mind.
Inherent Modifiers: Altered Trait, Possession, No Memory Access.
Greater Effects: 1 (×3).

This ritual, if cast within 6 seconds of a person's death, restrains their soul from leaving this plane of existence and instead places it in the body of another living person. The effects are the same as for the advantage Possession (p. 75) with the No Memory Access limitation, further limited by the duration. Due to the high cost of the ritual and the short time span available in which to cast it, it is typically cast as a charm carried by someone willing to be possessed by the target.

Typical Casting: Greater Control Mind (5) + Lesser Sense Mind (2) + Lesser Control Magic (5) + Altered Trait, Possession, No Memory Access (90) + Duration, 12 hours (6) + Range, 2 yds (0). 324 energy (108×3).
It occurs to me that this is overpriced - Possession as an advantage can be used many times; this ritual gives the target one extra life. So perhaps it should cost much closer to the Extra Life advantage (Requires Body), with the features of Possession (the target adopts the body's ST, DX, HT, and physical advantages and disadvantages) as a feature? How would you price that?
