Small Question about the Fused

[nebulae27]

It’s been a while since I’ve read the rest of the Stormlight books, plus I zoomed through RoW because I am impatient, and haven’t done my reread yet, so forgive me if this question is silly: how precisely do the fused body hop again? Like are they able to just forcefully eject their soul and then enter the body of any singer anywhere, using void light?
 

I’m asking because in particular, the pursuer’s frequent body jumps seems odd to me, since wouldn’t that mean every time his soul jumps into a new body, he’d be seizing a random nearby parshendi body, and immediately using his surge w that body? Number 1, I’m just wondering how this is convenient, I feel like you’d lose time if there was no nearby body, and number 2, I can’t believe the parshendi are okay with this....kind of existentially horrifying fact that your soul can be ejected from your body at a moment’s notice if a Fused needs a body. They’re definitely not manifesting their own bodies, right?

In the past Odium himself provided the Fused new hosts, and Odium's summoning was the only way for them to comeback 

 

Now Fused are a bit more unboded, and can return during a Everstorm adopting a sacrificed Singer as new body

No.  Venli states you have to be open to the fused.  Currently they use the everstorm for rebirths but prior to that Odium did it personally.

That is not what he is doing.  He is using the surge of transportation to make an entirely new body every time he jumps.
