I'm confused about Silverfox
How can her mind house Nightchill, Bellurdan, and Tattersail at the same time without exploding rainbows and pop - tarts?

'She (Silverfox) was created within the influence of a T'lan Imass – its timeless warren became the binding threads, and were so woven by an Imass bonecaster – a bonecaster of flesh and blood, Korlat. This child belongs to the T'lan Imass. She may well be clothed in the flesh of a Rhivi, and she may well contain the souls of two Malazan mages, but she is now a Soletaken, and more – a Bonecaster. And even these truths but brush the edges of what she will become.'

'Disparate spirits are united in their resolve! A spirit of hard edges, to hold the others to their course despite all the pain that others must bear (Nightchill). Another spirit, to clasp hard the hurt of abandonment until it can find proper answer! (Tattersail) And yet a third spirit, filled with love and compassion – if somewhat witless, granted (Bellurdan) – to so flavour the pending moment. And a fourth, possessing the power to achieve the necessary reparation of old wounds—'

Quick Ben: '...Who's the fourth in Silverfox?'

Kruppe: ''Why, the seed-child of a T'lan Imass Bonecaster, of course. Pran Chole's daughter, the one whose true name is indeed the one by which we all know her!'

Quote

'Soul-shifting is a delicate thing. The woman (Tattersail) was consumed in a conflagration. Her soul's first flight was carried on wings of pain and violence. More, she entered another ravaged body, bearing its own traumas (Nightchill). The child that is born will be like no other ever seen. Its life is a mystery, Kruppe'.

Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

In short, Bonecasters have the capability to be very powerful. This, combined with having the souls of 2 other high mages (one of which is Elder, too), and Tattersail -- who was herself mentioned to be the MotD -in-training and having the potential to be a high mage -- I think that gives her plenty of potential to house the souls she was created for holding by K'rul and Pran Chole. Anything else might be kinda spoilerish, and I don't like to tread those waters, muhself.
