But once you integrated them (and you can only integrate them once), they cease to have a separate existence and can't be contacted by anybody else. And it's more of "has Drosox's bravery" or "has Elebel's way with words" than the weaker forms you suggest. That's why I don't think that ancestors as a general rule are integrated.
I would instead prefer to channel ancestor (described in Heroforming) instead.
