Thinking him away, yes. Which sounds astoundingly simple, but one must consider that the Fade is both the dream dimension and the source of magic here in this world, which means that exerting will over it is paramount. The local mages, some of them have the ability to lucid dream in the Fade, and thus have unprecedented control over their surroundings.

And sometimes rifters leave for long periods and then they come back changed, different— the Fade re-makes them differently based on what the spirit itself expects itself to be. Even back where I come from, one of the core tenets about shaping the dream dimension is belief.

So, basically, find a way re-make you in the Fade without that urge. Again, vastly simplified, we’ve some additional thoughts on having a mage train you for better self-control — they, too, have to battle the risk of possession in their dreams — and maybe have a templar involved to temporarily strip away magic and what makes you you so that the Fade can craft it anew… anyway, point being, Tav, we have some plans of attack. You’re not gonna be cooped up here forever.
