To give a concrete example: Frank makes a mask of himself, using an anima band instead of a mentalia band, and seals it with golem paste made from his own hair. He sets it on Will. Result?

I'm not entirely sure. It depends upon whether anima bands can give activity to a mask the way mentalia bands do. If they don't, the result would be an inert copy of Frank. Good for lugging around like a corpse, but not much else.

If the anima band does give propulsive force, though, the result would be exactly like such a mask that uses a mentalia band. The golem would look like Frank, think like Frank, might be even more convinced than usual that it was Frank (anima influence), but it would have to obey him. It would not have any of his prodigies, though, because the golem shell only imparts control, not prodigies.

EDIT: But see discussion below. It now looks like the result would be another Frank, mobile and with prodigies.
