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.

True World Resonance
Iryna has spent time in a dimension made of sound and resonance, really tapping into what it means to adjust between different forms of energy, like the jacket of the clockwork man, connecting it to one of her batteries and filling it with enough energy to make it new.

Nocturnal Perception
"In the dark, they hear everything and see what others cannot."
Dr. George Elliot possesses the Nocturnal Perception power, This ability grants the user heightened senses, allowing them to see clearly in total darkness and hear with extraordinary precision.

Some examples of valid senses that the gift user can co-opt are sight, electroreception, echolocation, and variants thereof.

- You can simultaneously benefit from any visual and awareness senses of everyone within a 50 feet range that is currently perceiving you visually. Unless Protected Senses is also taken, this sense is overloaded if perceiving through more than 3 points of view at once. Indirect observation only triggers this effect if the observer in question is still within range and the observation is being performed through live means. (for example, live camera feeds and mirrors are valid, however past recordings and photos do not)
Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses. If one of these senses does become suppressed, you may Exert your Mind to end the effect.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Complete Blindness.
- Examples of overloading a sense include: an explosion causing temporary deafness, a bright light causing blindness, a sedative causing numbness, etc.
