Once its all used up, its no longer usable.The caster conjures the memory of the beasts body into being, and possesses it to do battle. But as time passes, the body begins to burn away, as the memory is driven to do things for its enemies.Maybe a way to replenish a memory by doing things that would help the creature in life? Like killing its natural prey or building a nest for a Roc's spirit.As for the cap on creature's power, I don't know how to help with that. Hit Dice are very variable in the current system. A couple creature types get around 4 hit dice per CR, whereas Fay are low HD per CR, but generally have powerful abilities.Maybe restrict it in the same ways as polymorph, since thats almost what you're making here. Sort of a polymorph/summon monster/magic jar varient.</blockquote>
