Does Imperius provide remote control, or simply obedience to mundane orders? What does self-inflicted Imperius do?
The cure to procrastination?
It seems to me like having somebody imperius yourself to do what you wanted to do in the first place might be a way to make yourself formiddable in general. Of course, it also might break your free will or cause quietism or solipsism?
It would also be an education in finding out to what extent what you want to do in far mode is actually a way of getting what you want.
Bit of both, really. It's described as "like moving your arm", yet the subject retains their own skillset, mannerisms etc.
