Isn't there a sidhi for taking over another's body? Yep! Praps we might call it "cittasya para-shariiraaveshaH". >From Vyaasa's comment: karma-bandha-kSayaat sva-cittasya pracaara-samvedanaac ca yogii cittaM sva-shariiraan niSkRSya shariiraantareSu nikSipati. That might mean something like 'from destruction of the bondage of karma and because of knowledge of the movements of his own mind, a yogii can, after having removed his mind from his own body, "throw" it into the body of another'. (That is partly guessing, because I didn't bother to consult any dictionary).
