Can have up to one avatar per 20 years of life including reincarnation. The avatar can do anything the immortal can do, except create avatars, and the immortal experiences anything that the avatars do. Immortals can use this ability to transform a willing mortal human into their avatar. Doing so gives the immortal far less control over how their abiities are used, but often results in a much richer experience for particuarly older immortals as they get a set of experiences more similar to what a modern mortal would experience. Upon dieing an immortal may sacrifice an avatar inorder to immediately transfer their soul to a different avatar. The sacrificed avatar is killed. If the avatar that the immortal tranfers their soul into is a transformed mortal. Only one soul will remain dominant and the other will spend the life of the vessel suppressed only a witness to their life.
