Bubble Buddies The power of Friendship!
Jeremy Soap takes a deep breath, then blows into a Bubble Wand, shaping a humanoid bubble capable of moving on its own and imbuing it with his will, which he calls a "Bubble Buddy". If he fails to properly imbue it, all that comes out is a bubble.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. You must actively and obviously use Bubble Wand to activate this Effect.
Summon a single Humanoid Bubble at your location. They will last for an hour, or until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most 1 minion active at a time.
Minions have 4 Body and can make melee range attacks with 5 dice to attack and +1 Damage. They cannot move faster than a walk and cannot dodge incoming attacks. They have dog-level intelligence, but are capable of communicating information back to you. Any Perception checks they make are rolled with 3 dice.
Your minions can fly at their normal movement speed.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Annales Historiae
"Remember that we once lived."
Acting like a seed for a mundane crystal, the user holds an item significantly associated with their knowledge and experiences to themselves as they crystallize related ideas into physical form. These crystals visibly coalesce around the user while this is taking effect. While the possible candidates for a "principal memory" to serve as a seed are as varied as the experiences of the user, mementos of previous or current Contracts produce results much more readily.
While this does not impact any normal functionality of this "principal memory", any item used in such a way will appear slightly vitrified and translucent, and reflect light somewhat readily: this continues after all of the "vitrified memories" lose coherence from proximity or destruction. This appears to bring them to the level of a Contract-associated "principal memory".
Inspecting an individual "vitrified memory" from the cloud shows a reflection of some facet of the concept, often the user's personal memories of such. Appearing like anomalously-floating crystal glass from a distance, the varied reflections betray their status as solidified ideas with durability to match.
This application cannot subdivide beyond a single diffuse cloud, though can be shaped into rough forms while diffuse and temporarily fused into a solid glass object. When not explicitly structured, these tend to stay either generally diffuse or in an approximation of their contents: a "principal memory" associated with gardening would tend to floral motifs, for example. Those motifs are - more often than not - reflected in the form they would take when condensed to a single solid form.
Sufficient disruption of physical integrity or a lack of anchoring cognizance in proximity breaks the physical forms apart, returning them to pure memories that lack the spark to be given physical form for a while.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
Summon the one and only Sapient cloud of vitrified memory at your location. They last until they move more than 150 feet from you or are destroyed They are controlled by you. You may have at most one minion active at a time.

Baphomet
As above so below I guess
Most people assume Baphomet is Vita’s familiar. He's not. He’s older than that term. He’s not here to serve—he made a deal. One that stitched his fate to Vita’s heartbeat. When she made her wish, the realms cracked open, and something lonely and fanged slipped through. Now he won’t leave. He eats her leftovers, naps on ancient artifacts, and commits minor crimes when unsupervised. She wouldn’t trade him for anything.
When summoned, Vita’s shadow stretches unnaturally long, curling at the edges like smoke. A soundless pressure ripples through the air, like a breath being held too long. From the darkness coils a black-furred cat with star-flecked markings and an infuriating grin. Tiny horns glint above his eyes, and when he takes flight, leathery wings unfurl from his back like forgotten pages of a forbidden book. He lands with the weight of inevitability and the smugness of someone who’s always right.
Baphomet isn’t a summon. He’s a consequence. A fanged pact stitched into Vita’s soul when she gave up her voice and made the mistake of longing out loud. Bound not by spell or leash, but mutual understanding, Bapha walks the line between infernal companion and spiritual parasite. He's not just intelligent—he’s opinionated, meddling, and deeply invested in keeping Vita alive, mostly because he doesn’t want to go back. Where she goes, he follows, uninvited but indispensable. Their connection is deeper than magic. It’s blood, debt, and unspoken love, forged under moonlight and written in claws.

Create Lesser Vampire
The Vampire is able to turn one of their victims into a lesser vampire, a pale shadow of a full creature of the night but useful nonetheless. Having drained and killed their target, the Vampire performs a brief ritualistic bloodletting, wherein they spill their own blood into the target's mouth, forcing them to drink, and bonding them together as child and sire.
Shortly afterwards, the fledgling vampire will rise from death, hungry for blood and eager to serve.
Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend one minute. Select a Dead target within arm's reach that has died within the last hour. This Effect cannot be used unless you drained the target's blood while they were still alive.

The creature lasts until it dies again. It is revived at full health. Any Injuries it had in life are not accounted for when determining its penalties or progression towards re-death, though they may affect its ability to perform certain actions at GM's discretion. The raised creature must consume flesh every day or it will die again.
Raised creatures have their Abilities set to the same that they were in life. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.
Your revived targets deal 2 Weapon Damage with their unarmed attacks.

- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
