Anyone ever wonder why ... (Ascians)

Spoilers!!!!!

If their new forms are supposed to be possessed people, then Lahabrea can possess someone while possessing someone? I mean in the last scene Lahabrea leaves Thancred's body not in the form of the reaper but as his human like form we see him in throughout the story.

First: spoilers.

Second: I thought the same thing; that was pretty hamfisted of them.

Fixed. My best guess is that the reaper form is a more primitive form the ascians take and the more human like form is something they've developed over time so they can more easily approach unwitting victims. What with how everyone runs away from them in terror when they see that ghostly visage. Would be nice to hear it explained and perhaps see the reaper form come into the story in some way. Such as a battle!
