Oswald strikes a lighter and lights a cigarette, the smoke curling unnaturally in the air. He holds the cigarette out, and it floats midair as if offered to an invisible presence. A glowing golden tether extends from his hand, coalescing into a towering minotaur in a 1920s detective coat. The air hums with energy as the spirit begins to search—sniffing the ground, scanning with glowing eyes, and tracing glowing trails through the air. Smoke lingers and curls around places of interest, and golden light highlights the passage of the unseen. The entire scene is clearly unnatural and unmistakably tied to Oswald’s presence.
The spirit he calls—Detective Taurus—is no ghost, but a psychic impression of all who’ve ever hunted answers with bloodhound hearts and weary soles. A thoughtform born of noir, grief, and the relentless need to know. When summoned, he doesn’t speak; he reveals. Through the curling smoke, through glimmers in the dirt, through golden traces only the gifted can see.
It’s not magic. It’s memory.
And memory, when called, always leaves footprints.

The Kitsune softly rings a bell charm, waits a moment, then deftly reaches out into thin air in a seemingly random direction. Pulling her arm back, she produces a small spark of light which materializes into a spirit, detailing to her the information she needs.
The bell charm acts as a channel for Kayleigh to give an immaterial spirit the slightest amount of form, upon when she reaches out and deftly grabs it before the spirit dissipates back into whatever realm it lives in. If she misses her grab on the spirit it decides to stay away from her for the future, making her unable to try to speak to it twice. Kayleigh's manual dexterity has become so incredibly refined that she can grab hold of even the immaterial.

Marcus sets the item down, draws his gun, and presses the barrel to its surface like he’s taking its temperature. With a slow breath, he pulls the trigger—not to fire, but to open a thin, red slit in the air that hisses like steam and smells of rust and burnt paper. Without hesitation, he dips the object into the glowing wound, guiding it like a craftsman at work, his face unreadable. When he pulls it back out, the item looks exactly the same—no runes, no glow, just ordinary steel or plastic—but people still step back, uneasy, because they saw what it went through.
