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.

Brain Blaster
You'd have to be psycho to use this thing
The ring transmogrifies itself into a firearm. The firearm itself is pulsing, fleshy and clearly a living creature, despite it still holding the form of a revolver. This process happens near instantly, although the actual process involves the shifting of psychic energies from one form to another. The bullets fired are made of hardened psychic energies, making them deadly even despite their mental origins.
Danny has been around both guns and her own psychic abilities for long enough that she can channel these dual understandings into the Ring of Two Minds. The ring itself is an artifact Danny found via thrift shopping, the item forlorn from lack of understanding on it's true power. Danny debates on the origin and nature of the ring, but understands she will grasp such things...In time
