Actually, that sounds like a good way to model any sort of rarely accessible but devastating power. Make it something like a spirit follower, give a relationship to the thing being tapped, and a resistance to overcome. I wouldn't use it for everything (I like the "watch all the personality buttons being pushed" approach myself) but I could see cases where it models things correctly.
