Cletus passes out a small balloon full of a clear liquid, that would pop against the target’s face, assaulting their senses, and filling their mind with drowsiness, until they eventually fall to the ground.

Zephyren stares intensely at the target, whether or not they share eye contact, as though they'd explode if he looked for long enough. They don't. Instead, they feel an overwhelming heat wash through them, sapping all their hydration before their body could filter it out. Supernatural steam rises from their body despite the fact that this wouldn't physically harm them. They eventually pass out as their body uses up all its energy.
On heat exhaustion:
Zephyren's experienced it before, but at first he didn't understand what it meant or what it was supposed to feel like. He felt foggy - nothing really made sense, he couldn't register what was being said or what he saw or even count numbers. Simple tasks were overwhelmingly difficult as everything looked far too clear and bright, yet he couldn't see at all. At times he was on the brink of passing out. He couldn't even stand upright. His brain was getting cooked from the inside out. This gift won't necessarily harm someone the way real heat exhaustion would. It's... the one form of kindness he can give.
On glares:
He feels a shiver down his back whenever someone glares at him too intensely. It never ends well, so Zephyren's body instinctively prepares him for the worst. Sometimes it even feels as if he's shutting down completely, and it scares him. Yet here he is, doing it to someone else.
On sleep:
When was the last time Zephyren's had a good night's sleep? He's inclined to use this on himself each night just so he could quell the thoughts of everything he could've done. But that would be giving him an easy way out - this is something he has to deal with on his own, without the help of magic gained from fulfilling heartless jobs.

Harry Johnson channels the mystical prowess of Volga Svyatoslavich, the legendary bogatyr known for his cunning and subtle use of power. In the heat of battle, when his fists meet flesh, Harry can invoke the ancient magic of Volga, sending his opponent into a deep, dreamless slumber with a single, precise blow.
To the untrained eye, it might seem like a simple knockout—a powerful punch that drops an adversary. But those who know of the old tales might recognize the truth: this is no ordinary strike. As Harry’s fist connects, he unleashes a subtle yet potent force, drawing upon Volga’s ancient knowledge to lull his enemy into an inescapable sleep. The opponent’s eyes glaze over, their body succumbing to a paralysis that leaves them conscious yet utterly immobilized, as if bewitched by an ancient spell.

Kel takes out some sand from a pouch and gently blows it in the direction of her target. The sand glows golden and gently wafts into the targets mouth, nose, ears, and skin. When people look into the flowing sand they see their worst nightmares. She takes close inspiration from her dream-friend.
"Test subject number... one-dash-seven-dash-three. Sleep experiment, day 10, K____ D_______, researcher. Subject shows heightened posterior parietal cortex and prefrontal cortex activity during allocated resting times. Subject has been mentioned or sketched in several of the other *creatures* dream logs, even if subject had no previous interaction with them. Subject seems unaware of her influence on others at the present moment. Will continue to monitor, though with a request for further testing.” The tape cuts and another, less professional tape automatically plays.
“Post script to today’s log on one seven three, I believe I may have been affected by its mental influence. The details are fuzzy but I remember seeing the subject saying something to me before waking in a cold sweat just before this. This job is waring me down…”
