Scaling Cards
Scaling cards is the art of throwing normal playing cards with such skill and precision that they slice vegetables or stick into walls. This one has learned to throw cards which are metal with auch finesse they are not dissimilar to shirikens.
Note that while all playing cards benefit from this gift, Bullet Parry requires the card to be reinforced in some way such as being made of metal to benefit from it.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in combat with Playing Cards.
+2 dice to all rolls utilizing Playing Cards.
You also gain the following effects:
- Bullet Parry: You may Defend against any attack in range of your attacks. Defending this way still costs a Reaction.

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.

Spirits in Bone
The Bones Call to Me
When Wolf throws an item made of bone, a number of things happen, first the item that is being thrown seems to be covered in a ghostly manifestation of the creature that the bone the item as made of came from, the manifestation only lasts for a split second that it takes for wolf to launch the item. Second the animal Skull that Wolf is wearing seems to be come covered in runes, swirls and veins that all seem to glow with a ghostly blue light.
When a creature is given proper respect after being killed parts of it's spirit is left behind within the bones of the creature. Through a small ritual these spirits can be used to improve the item that is made with the bones but this process requires the use of a skull from an animal to function as a conduit between the item and the user. once this ritual is completed it gives the item a small amount of sapience for a split second while it is being used this allows the user to preform actions using the item that would normally be impossible. Sometimes if the user preforms the ritual poorly they can receive mental and physical deformities, but this issue can be fixed through greater skill in the ritual.
