Instant Cooking If it lives, it can be eaten
Bu fang finds his target with ease. Taking that moment, his knife in hand, as if casting a culinary symphony, he waves his knife into the air, striking down as if chopping the air. The target finds themselves feeling pain before they start to notice that their body is being cooked, turned into mere ingredients infront of bu fang.

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.

Biohazard
They Called It Something Else Outside Of Japan
Your entire body is laced with DeltaGen. It's sort of your whole deal. The effects of raw DeltaGen exposure on the average human body (you're built different, obviously) are both well-documented and horrific. The potential applications of these two facts are obvious.
Unfortunately, the DeltaGen denatures quickly once outside of a body-temperature environment, meaning stored blood probably won't have much effect unless you keep it in arm's reach.
This Effect activates whenever a valid target ingests at least 2ml of your blood or bile. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a Living target within arm's reach. Your target should be intuitively based on the triggering event. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you cause a beneficial mutation - the target gains an Augment instead!. Roll Brawn + Athletics at Difficulty 6. The target may roll Body, -2 dice at Difficulty 7, as a Free Action to resist.
If you succeed, the target receives a new Battle Scar of your choosing, limited by the contested Outcome:
- A Minor Battle Scar E.g. an aesthetic-only body modification (a disfigured face, a pig's tail), impacted hand or foot, or vocal changes that complicate communication
- A Major Battle Scar E.g. a disabled/removed hand or foot, an inability to speak, an impacted major sense, removal of a minor sense, impacted movement.
- A Severe Battle Scar E.g. a disabled/removed arm or leg, deafness, aesthetic changes that are nearly impossible to conceal.
- An Extreme Battle Scar E.g. removal/disabling both hands or both legs, blindness, a full-body deformation that leaves the target humanoid but makes it difficult to use clothes, vehicles, and equipment designed for humans.
- When triggered, the Effect activation resolves immediately after the triggering Action. It is not Reaction speed.

- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
