Question: If I am successfully possessing a creature, and my phantom usurps manifestation, does my former body gain the nauseated condition or does my possessed body gain the nauseated condition?

I think there's room for interpretation for whether it affects the original body or the possessed body. But Usurp Manifestation is pretty clear that if you negate or prevent the condition, nothing happens.

So I think the two likely scenarios are:

A) Usurp Manifestation pulls from the spiritualist's current body. If possessing someone, this is the possessed body limiting the spiritualist as normal.

B) Usurp Manifestation always pulls from the spiritualist's normal body. If possessing, the spiritualist has triggered the final clause in the Usurp Manifestation description, so nothing can happen.
