These people are humans, although there is much more potential for magical alteration of the base plan than real humans have. They have human capacities to memorize and transmit information.
I’m reminded of this. Although the technique in the article was taught using a computer game, one could plausibly develop an analog equivalent. Give someone a musical instrument and teach them to play specific sequences in response to the sequences somebody else plays, or something.
But the teaching would be really time-consuming, and of course you’d have to make sure that the right person was in charge of the body while they were being taught.
If it’s something you can teach children, then wealthy societies (which can afford to wait longer before having people move into each other’s bodies) can be sure to teach only the correct people, but indeed time consumption remains an issue.
