Yesterday DarknessxVega was wonderful enough to stop by my Undead Burg to Gravelord me with the intention of getting Gravelord Black Phantoms, and the secondary intention of attempting to intentionally Perma-Gravelord my game.
Our attmept at getting Black Phantoms was immediately successful on the first attempt, and we (at least I) learned a few interesting thigs in the successive attempts to curse me again and make them permanent.
As you may know gravelords will infect multiple worlds when they drop an eye of death. The people infected will be the ones located the same lobby as the gravelord. Of these only one or a few will actually be affected by Black Phantoms, while many more will be able to see the Gravelord's sign though their world is otherwise unaffected.
DarknessxVega loaded up Dark Souls and then had me red soap stone into his world. He killed me and then immediatedly dropped an eye of death. By doing so he ensured we were in the same lobby. Maybe because I was one of the first people he connected with since starting the game, or maybe because of luck, on my return to my world the Black Phantoms generated within half a minute or so (and killed me as I was writting a message).
When a gravelord drops an eye of death a black fog radiates off them. During the infection they are unable to summon anyone into their world but can be invaded by the people they've gravelorded, darkmoons, and darkwraiths. However they are still able to drop their white soap stone.
After respawning to my world and reversing hollow I summoned DarknessxVega into my world to come play with the Black Phantoms he gave me.
There is definitely a cool down. Whether it operates from the regular invasion cool down, or some other gravelord specific cool down; But you should have seen it...the second I used the dried finger or red stone that red guy burst into existence and starting going at me.
This might also explain why when gravelording in the depths my trick of invading people with cracked red eye orbs led to me being invaded by people who didn t have black phantoms.

perma gravelording- how long does it last what can make it go away (painted world? etc.) can more than one area be gravelorded. do BPs leave when gravelord leaves the area does the sign actually move with gravelord? if the gravelorded person then follows the gravlord (eg from burg to parish) will they have BPS in the next area? Does the gravelord summon sign not appear until timer up as well or just the phantoms. I could be invaded while perma gravelorded, but what about when regular gravlording?
This might be another reason why people don't realize they are cursed. I have heard some people say that you have to go to a bonfire and rest when you get infected before the BPs will appear, but I think the issue may actually be that people aren't seeing the BPs until their invasion cool down runs out. The Black Phantoms had no problem showing up while I was already part way progressed through the level.
As a gravelord you can get advance warning you are being invaded by standing by a bonfire or having whitestone equiped. Once they go grey/go quiet you can
