Void Displacement Forget all the pain of the real world by wrapping yourself in the embrace of the Void
A psychic cry rings out as a shimmering translucent orb envelopes them and they cease to exist for a brief moment. Every moment you spend in the presence of the orb you want to flee for a reason you can't describe. In the deep primal resseces of your mind you know this shouldn't exist and it takes all of your mental fortitude not to run as far away as you can.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You phase out of reality for up to 4 Rounds. During this time, you cannot perceive or affect the outside world or take any Actions. You cannot move. Nothing can interact with you in any way.
When you activate this Effect, you may limit its duration to a period of your choosing. If you are able, you may also end it as a Free Action on your initiative.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see The Void energy that is called forth is depply unsettling to beings from the mortal plane. They know at some fundemental level that this energy doesn't belong here..
- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
- You may use your Free Movement on the Round you phase back in, but you cannot take an Action.

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.

Tantus's Obilivion
I commit suicide by plunging a dagger into my neck. As I collapse to the ground my body turns to ash, then to nothing. I and one other ascend to a higher layer of abstraction. After 10 minutes, the layer collapses. In an instant, I wake in the same spot, my being constituting from nothing.
