Details

• The possession bar is shown by the default UI (like a stance bar) while the player is controlling another target, such as while channeling [Mind Control].
• Typically, the first slot contains the spell used to control the other unit (which does nothing), while the second slot has a "Cancel" action that ends the effect.

Patch changes

Patch 8.0.1 (2018-07-17): The second parameter was changed from spell name to spell ID. [1]
