Disarm "Put down the gun! Drop it!"
Sheriff Perkins is practiced at disarming enemies and can easily destroy weapons by swatting them with his Phantom Limb.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a weapon within arm's reach no larger than a duffel bag (35 liters). Roll Dexterity + Brawl Difficulty 6.
If your Outcome is 4 or higher, the target will be completely destroyed and can no longer function, though it may still be repaired. If your Outcome is less than 4, the target will be partially damaged, and any attempts to use it will suffer a dice penalty equal to your Outcome.
If you have access to the remains of an object you had previously damaged or destroyed, you may spend a Committed action to un-destroy it.
- The amount of remains necessary to un-destroy an object must be at least equivalent to half the size of the original object. The GM may make exceptions to this at their discretion in circumstances where the method of destruction has altered the size significantly, but the remains you possess are still clearly the majority of the original object.
- The penalty from an object being damaged will stack with itself if a target is hit multiple times, but the object is destroyed when it reaches a total penalty of -4.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Breaking the Seal
The Ascent begins with usurping the flame
Thine soul absolved to be one with the flames and aligned with the vision. They know not their reason for life; for all contemplations prior have been seen to lead them astray. This is land is ours, and the souls are unstable here. Crimson ichor and fiery vegetation sprout and form as if they were bright rivers of blood and gore upon the Ashen One. The crevices of their armor fill with smoke and leak of inflamed blood before shattering to fiery embers once complete.
Virtual reality glitches out as the binds that keep the Tarnished within their realmS are slowly being broken... Soon, they will escape.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Non-Sapient Object or piece of an Object or structure within arm's reach no larger than a duffel bag (35 liters). You must actively and obviously use Shield to activate this Effect. You cannot target objects which are currently in someone else’s possession. Roll Brawn + Melee Difficulty 6.
If your Outcome is 4 or higher, the target will be completely destroyed and can no longer function, though it may still be repaired. If your Outcome is less than 4, the target will be partially damaged, and any attempts to use it will suffer a dice penalty equal to your Outcome.
When activating this Effect, you may spend an extra minute and maintain Concentration. If you do, it has no Exertion cost, and you may destroy an object which has up to 3x larger dimensions, or up to 27x larger volume than the normal maximum size.
When a target is destroyed, it sends shards flying. Anyone within 5 feet of the object rolls 4d10 at Difficulty 6 and takes damage equal to the Outcome. Can be reacted to.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see crimson ichor and fiery vegetation sprout and form as if they were bright rivers of blood and gore upon the Ashen One. The crevices of their armor fill with smoke and leak of inflamed blood before shattering to fiery embers once complete.
- The shape of the destroyed material must be simple, such as a box or sphere. Bringing down large buildings requires an Intellect + Crafts roll to analyze the structure and may also require multiple activations. Buildings that are destroyed usually fall slowly or in pieces, creating an environmental hazard for a few Rounds prior to collapsing.
- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
- The penalty from an object being damaged will stack with itself if a target is hit multiple times, but the object is destroyed when it reaches a total penalty of -4.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Tannerkivi
All Returns to the Earth
The runes across the powerstone glow a dark green, and Clint's hands glow slightly. He murmurs a few words under his breath, and the object evaporates, leaving only small clumps of dirt and sand where it once stood.
