Lol that rhyme 
Anyway I think vengeance spirits are complex entities, which makes them more interesting than their pure counterparts. In fact spirits of Justice are probably the least "friendly" type of spirits.
BTW any speculation on how Tevinter would treat a mage possessed by a spirit?
I'd say it depends on the type of spirit, the character of the man or woman possessed, and their actual identity (are they magister or commoner). 9 times out of 10, I would say that they'd nuke the possessed to be safe, unless exorcism is possible. In regards to Anders though, who I assume you're talking about, I think he's too volatile and far too integrated with Vengeance to merit exorcism. They'd just nuke him and be done with it.Lol that rhyme

The door is right there, dear. See yourself out for that terrible rhyme.
The tree at times, must seed and sow,
But this tree rhymes, you mad, bro?

Poet trees aside, I think most Tevinters would view possession as a research opportunity, even an experiment. Demons and spirits are creatures of magic and of the Fade, so a greater understanding can only benefit them. No doubt you have the odd abomination, but I think Tevinters are more open minded for anything magic related.
Quite. I think they would know better than any what the line is for an unsalvageable abomination and whether it should be killed.Poet trees aside, I think most Tevinters would view possession as a research opportunity, even an experiment.

Well, the codex entry Responsible Blood Magic mentions some Magister Calanthus, who believed he could make himself the “Ascended Man” with blood magic and ended up as a horrible abomination. So they like their experiments. Still, it was a cautionary tale against eager apprentices and even the author mentions "Chantry sermons" that discourage such pursuits.
I expect a lot of frankenstein shite in Tevinter.
Like Avernus.
Good points. I was more leaning towards Tevinter watching spirit abominations closely as research. Because obviously while still dangerous, a spirit abomination is a lot safer than a demonic abomination to have around and "study".
Maybe with a lot of effort you could create a possessed mage who is absolutely in control, a winter soldier, or in this case a winter mage. Of course it would take a lot effort and at best 1/10 of possessed mages could reach this state, but would it be worth it?
Something akin to Seekers, except they would be a mage.
that... Would be epicI expect a lot of frankenstein shite in Tevinter.

Um, don't we have Rivaini Seers for possessed mages who are in control i.e. symbiotes?

I doubt control is something you can breed like you are seeming to suggest. And even then, it's never a guarantee that you wouldn't corrupt a spirit down the road.
Also, Seekers aren't possessed indefinitely, not like you seem to want the mages to be. The Spirit touches them, breaks the Tranquility, grants their powers, and then it leaves.
I imagine some in Tevinter have tried for the perfect being, and as others have pointed out, it ended terribly for those involved.
"ascended man" scenario.
So is that like Gandalf meets Nietzsche or something?

I would prefer Machiavelli over Nietzsche but yes something like that. Nietzsche was probably a sociopathSo is that like Gandalf meets Nietzsche or something?

That sounds about right...
Man, I'm so in Professor X's camp, I think
perhaps it is the spirit whom is bound to has a factor. What if to truly work the person must truly and mean truly embody x value, ideal, location, or conceptI doubt control is something you can breed like you are seeming to suggest.
