It sort of turns into an incorporeal entity that channels itself into the host -- it uses the Fiend Folio rules for possession, which don't assume an interplanar interface (in Fiend Folio a succubus can walk right up to you and possess you by jumping into your body).In any case, Keith Baker has said that the reason for the quorforged was the quori's fear of the Turning of the Age -- if the Age turns and the Quor Tarai changes its nature, all existing quori, no matter where they are, die and turn into the new generation of quori. These quori wanted to prevent that, which was the reason they invaded the Material Plane in the first place -- they thought if they could conquer the giants they could prevent whatever change in giant civilization was going to cause the Turning. The quorforged were insurance in case they failed -- they thought by turning themselves into docents, and not being quori anymore, their consciousness would continue even if Quor Tarai changed.</blockquote>
