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.

You drag out from the crumbling wall your lovely, lovely Elizabeth.

Bomb Up My Sleeve
TSA regulations sure are annoying for an aspiring demolitionist, but Ellis has made do.
Ellis has his own personal realm of holding in which he can store explosives for future use.
In order to store a bomb, Ellis must first have performed the Ritual of Bomb Bonding with this particular explosive. This ritual lasts three minutes, and involves a complex geometric dance. During the ritual, the bomb will detonate and then immediately piece itself back together several times, imbuing a small fragment of Ellis' soul within it. No damage will be dealt to anything, but anything within a 3 meter radius that is flammable might appear slightly singed. Once a bomb is Bonded, it will remain that way until it is destroyed.
To store the bomb, Ellis places his hand on top of the Bonded explosive, upon which the explosive appears to detonate in a small area covering his hand. Re-summoning a bomb looks as if another small explosion occurred but in reverse.
Spend a Free Action to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless the bomb being stored has undergone the Ritual of Bomb Bonding.
You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within arm’s reach to your stash. You may store bombs in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside a briefcase (15 liters), and you may store up to 35 of them at a time.

Hammerspace
For stuff other than hammers.
Hammerspace’s a classic. Something as big as a briefcase can just go right into your pockets without you even blinking an eye. Where’d it go? Hammerspace. Takes but a hand wave to retrieve.

Hypercubic Archives
All objects are but cross-sections of the higher dimension
Delphyrion reaches a hand into their hair and pulls out what seems to be a hypercube. One can't really perceive what's inside it, but as it intersects with our world, a more recognizable object emerges.
On stashing:
Delphyrion's had access to obscure and illicit chemicals for a long time, but they hadn't expected to make such great use of them on the contracts. He loves his bags and long coats and big pockets, but he could always use a better way to store things that he doesn't want people seeing. There's a limit to how many liquids he could bring on a plane, and how many times someone could mistake him for a perv who brings... a "certain kind of liquid" to deadly missions.
On technique:
He's itching to go up to someone and lift his lab coat while saying, "Want some goods?" at some point. It's definitely more practical to pull it out from under their hair though.
On hypercubes:
There were so many. Too many. 8. Eight. Huit. Ocho. 여덟. Not a good memory. Still a cool concept. He hates it. He's enamoured. So much left to learn. He's falling.

Compression
The wire around Pol's wrist glows with a neon blue light. Pols hand disintegrates and from the stump a small portal emerges and from it flys a spray of blood that hangs in the air briefly defying gravity. The bloody spray is mixed with tiny nanomachines that coagulate it into individual cubes which quickly start to merge together into a rough voxel representation of the item before solidifying together. Once whole a quake travels through the voxels and they fall to the ground in a wet deluge soaking the area underneath. From inside of the voxel shape stands the item that was previously digitized now reassembled.
When something is initially digitized into the stash the same process with the hand happens but a laser shoots out and segments the target into the digitized cubes, leaving bloody rivulets where each cube is cut. Once the target has been segmented a large tendril of nanomachines shoots from Pol's wrist stump and start vacuuming up the cubes one by one.
