I'm working on some Africanesque demons from the d20 Nyambe setting. I came across this power, and here is how I tried to model it. Any thoughts?
This incorporeal demon usually travels in spirit form, but it can fuse its will with normal animals or insects, turning the creature evil and guiding its will, driving it to kill any humans it meets. The demon will seek out the queen of an insect colony to effectively control the hive; similarly, it will seek out the dominant member of a given pack or pride, giving it control over its other members. It cannot possess supernatural animals, such as Grimalkins or Temple Dogs.
[-4] Malevolence:
Domination [-2]
Possession [-3]
Limited: only usable on mortal animals and insects [+2]
Pack Instincts [-1] (usually with possessed animals and their hive/pride/etc.)
Note: this power requires Spirit Form.

Well, it's your game. Normally, if someone tried in a game I played to take an existing power, repackaged and buffed, they'd get laughed at.

I am the GM for my game, and am capable of laughing at myself already.
Do you have any actual suggestions? What is your take on the value of the power discount? I'm failing to see how this power is otherwise "buffed"? Repackaging is of course for convenience of math. It's ultimately for a monster, so the power limitation is somewhat moot.
Nevermind (see below).
Also, I failed to explicitly state it, but the power does require Spirit Form (have amended the entry to match).

I believe the unhelpful snarkiness was more likely directed at BumblingBear.D
Malevolence looks fine.

Ah! My apologies for misunderstanding, Gatts! Quote tags, people! ;)
