To answer your question, I was hoping to gain some insight into what this theoretical voice and its form of control represented to you as a storytelling device, which you have done adequately. To me, the interaction is closer to an NPC exerting influence on the PC than the DM assuming control of the PC, even while the practical side of game play suggests the latter. Which is to say, it would function similarly to how mind control effects play out, hence me bringing it up. It's not the sort of thing I would blindside a player and impose on a PC, but as a proposal from a player? I just don't see the problem, nor the distinction between said proposal and standard mind control effects, and it baffled me you would advise against it.</blockquote>
