Unlike with the summon of Heroic Spirit's, a Demi-Servant is merged with a Heroic spirit from their very soul granting the abilities of the Heroic Spirit from within. One special characteristic is the Successor of fate, granting them one Skill proficiency from the Heroic Spirit they merged with. Unlike summons in the grail war , the Heroic Spirit has minimal control over the shared form; instead, the human merged with the Heroic Spirit uses the Heroic Spirit's abilities as if they were their own. Furthermore, the possession process itself is involuntary for both the vessel and the Heroic Spirit and is instead forced by the intervention of a third party.
Should the Heroic Spirit depart, the Demi-Servant will retain their abilities due to the Heroic Spirit's connection to the human they've bonded with but will have greater difficulty in using a servants full power without the help of specialized equipment.

It is said that the Subject, no matter the sort of human being they are, will be unable to withstand the process and will start to break down as time progresses. The only way to withstand the process would be if the individual was modified since birth.
