I'm playing a crafting PC who builds constructs. Is there a way for me to take out my soul and put it into a construct? Only thing i can find is "Soul Transfer", level 7 spell, but I'm a little confused on the wording of it.
Since it uses "trap the soul" within this spell, it means my soul gets transferred into a gem. So then said gem to transfer my soul to... to what? It say mainly, but doesn't say what my options are.
This spell functions like the spell completion option of trap the soul, except it only works on bodiless souls (such as incorporeal undead or a soul trapped in a gem) or creatures whose substance is a physical incarnation of a soul (such as a petitioner), but not on creatures formed from souls and planar material (such as most outsiders). It is mainly used to transfer souls from one receptacle to another, but may also be used to capture vulnerable souls that aren’t bound to mortal flesh (such as incorporeal creatures and petitioners).
Halp
if thats not possible, is there a way that i can control it from great distances? As in, i project myself into it and control it personally?
Magic Jar and Possess Object are closer to what you're after, I think, and Enter Image is worth noting as well. Soul Transfer/Trap the Soul is for use on your enemies. Not yourself.
Someone in one of the psi vs magic debates said psionics can easily do this. You might want to look at those.
Beast-Bonded Witches can permanently take over their Construct Familiar, except.... well, you have to be a 10th level Beast Bonded Witch. With a Construct Familiar.

Occult Adventures has this spell:
OBJECT POSSESSION, GREATER
School necromancy; Level occultist 5, psychic 6, sorcerer/ wizard 7, spiritualist 6, witch 7
Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
Target unattended Gargantuan or smaller object (minimum Tiny) or construct
Duration 10 minutes/level (D)
This spell functions as object possession, except as noted above. The possessed animated object has a number of Construction Points appropriate for its size (up to 5 CP for
Gargantuan objects). Your silver cord extends to medium range (100 ft. + 10 ft./level).
You can attempt to possess a construct instead of an unattended object as your first possession with this spell. If you do, this spell acts as control constructUM, except as noted above.
I'm not going to put all the reference spells in here, but basically your consciousness goes into your construct, but you're limited by the range or the spell breaks. Design a protective pod for your body on the construct?
I think i got one, take one level of Impossible Bloodline Sorcerer for the arcana then use greater mind swap from Occult Adventures
Edit: on further reading you would need to be a rather high level psychic to do this, but you can retrain and level up to it eventually :)

I dig this one a lot. I like the idea of being in complete control of a construct while im in a metal pod on its back or something. Only problem i see is the duration. I'm looking for permanent stuff

so tell me if this would work
i'm dying and i have a homunculus make a soul gem out of my soul with the intent of placing the gem into a soulbound shell construct. What that is, is just a construct, but it retains my personality and memories perfectly.
A soulbound shell seems ok as a Sorcerer or psychic caster but the cemented mind ability is very bad for a prepared caster
