[Discord] New Celestial Discord: help and feedback, please?

Another thought inspired by the "Upgrade" character's inability to bond with living things...

Ethereal Discord: Word Link

Similar to the "Bound" Discord, a Word Link restricts the type of host that a Kyriotate or Shedite can inhabit. (Superiors sometimes impose it as a punishment for ignoring Word-related dissonance.) If a Choir/Band description mentions some unusual host type, then a Word Linked spirit can inhabit only that type. A Kyriotate of Flowers, for instance, could possess only plants; a Kyriotate of Stone would need at least one stone vessel; and a Shedite of Technology could inhabit only the computer that Vapula gave it.

For Superiors without this kind of exception to the rules, a Word Linked celestial can inhabit only humans with an obvious connection to the Superior's Word. Dominic's Kyriotates might become Word Linked to hosts in the criminal justice system, for example; Baal's Shedim might become Word Linked to military types (including members of a private militia). Asmodeus, of course, never uses Word Link to punish his Fleshless; that would violate the rules of the Game.

Unlike the "Bound" Discord, a Word Link doesn't completely prevent assumption of celestial form. It does, however, make this change more difficult: the character's Will roll suffers a penalty equal to the level of Discord.

Is this Discord reasonably balanced as written? If not, what would you add or change? If it is, though--what might a reasonable point bonus be for taking a Word Link, assuming "standard IN rules" (non-GURPS)?
