If they locked this place down, Michael would be stuck, trapped. To dispel the Transference of Consciousness spell, he needed to be within eyesight of the host body. Otherwise, the connection would weaken, the control would slip, and the host—Eldoran, in this case—would realize that something was wrong. Some hosts just freaked out, panicked, thought they were going crazy. But elves, spies like Eldoran? They would recognize the symptoms. They would know what was happening. And they would raise the alarm. That would be bad, very bad. The System had warned him: some targets could sense the intrusion, could locate him through the mental link.
