Yeah, instantly thought of it, then decided shortly after that you probably did too, but nixed it for balance reasons. While by the letter of the text it works, it goes against the spirit of the ability's natural limitations. It's meant to be a spying ability that lets magic through the connection, not a body-hopping ability.I decided against Watcher's Curse being able to leapfrog off itself, precisely because that's utterly broken. I'll rewrite the chapter to make it a bit more explicit, have Ethan try it and get an error message, forcing him into trying to anticipate the Hound's movements instead.
Not that it wouldn't be fun in other stories or contexts.
