Then you say wrong. Forcefully controlling someone's actions through magic, let's say, and controlling the victim's body and thoughts, that's "possession". The victim has no choice but do do what the man or entity that possessed him wants. Zolty possessed Capricorn. He took over his body, and made him do things against his will.
Manipulating someone into doing something that they wouldn't have done otherwise is not the same as possessing someone. Ultear manipulated him, she tricked him, she made him do her bidding without him ever knowing, but she did not possess him. She couldn't have, for example, made him strip naked during a council meeting and announce his plans to take over the world while moonwalking. Using magic to "induce a high so strong one fully believes that what they are doing is right or a love so strong that it's worth killing over" is still not possession. At most, it's brainwashing, making him believe what he is doing it right (and she did so that), but not possession. You need to learn what the notion means.
