Reaching into its host's mind Kazarisu pulls one thing- the memories of destruction, breaking, and bringing down structures. But for the beast, a person and a building make no difference, they all break just as easily.
------------------
In an act of anger, aggression, or just the need to defend himself the Kamaitachi Kazarisu will act on those emotions, especially when threatened. Twisting and spinning around its host, it seems to gather wind, staying unseen and invisible as it just looks like he was enveloped in a light whirlwind. At the same time, Ricter will take out a small wooden mallet and swing it at the target, which seems harmless enough. Immediately after the beast forms its own much larger hammer rakes and sweeps it toward the target, leaving a shotgun-like gust of air that slams into the victim.
With how the wind circles and spirals around anyone can notice the attack building. Yet the monster stays hidden, all before the attack is thrown, showing a minor glimpse of its jagged fur and grizzly stare before the wind, and the beast vanishes.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see her face began to get distracted as it looks like every piece of skin begins the peel off, causing this screeching of haddock.
The magician does a slight flamboyant dance with their hand or hands and upon completion, a soft glow appears from one glove.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless used in low light or dark areas. You must actively and obviously use a thin glove to activate this Effect. Choose an illusion to generate, which can be no larger than a briefcase.

The illusion cannot be used as an attack. You may create a replica of a specific being or Object, though it is still limited by what you do or do not know about the subject.
Anyone who touches the illusion (or who would be able to perceive it significantly through a sense it cannot fool) realizes it is an illusion and can choose to perceive it or not at will.

Bu fang takes some spare ingredients he find, upon which, he will then cook and turn into food that not only satisfy the body, but due to how good they are... The relaxation and warmth from the food heals not only the mind, but the body too.

Through channeling essence into one's eye, the user can perceive an individual's thoughts, feelings, and secrets in an ancient, runic language that the practitioner must attempt to decipher in the moment before the words return from whence they came.
Every individual's thoughts, feelings, their deepest secrets, while most believe that these things are only tangible in their own minds, the especially strong ones take a physical form in a mystical plane, one only visible to those talented in the magical arts. Through discussion, a skilled practitioner can illicit the physical manifestations of these thoughts and feelings, appearing in an ancient language that the practitioner must attempt to decipher in the moment, while still conversing with the individual, making this process only possible to the most skilled witches and warlocks who possess the sight. These runic pieces of text that encompass the secrets and desires literally emerge from the target's mouth as they speak, requiring a discussion to occur. Possession of this eye grants one the ability to constantly perceive the mystical plane, though this inhibits perception of the natural world.

This witch is a cruel and vengeful creature who works her vile arts against those she deems worthy of punishment. All she must do is point. A flash of green lightning strikes her victim and disappears. Immediately, or upon the completion of some condition, if the witch chooses, the victim's body warps and shifts into a gross mockery of its former self. Whether she's giving someone the head of a donkey or stealing their voice, the witch's enemies always get what is coming to them.
