Sorting, sorting, sorting Let me focus
Mielle takes a handful of jellybeans and chew on them. The chemicals put her in a state of mind that helps her use her mind to interact with the world.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action. You must use up Candy in order to activate this Effect.
You can interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them. Lasts for two hours. Any rolls made for Actions taken in this way use a Mental Strength of 2 in place of your Brawn rating, a Mental Agility of 2 in place of your Dexterity, and otherwise use your own Attributes and Abilities.

- Heavy Lifting: You may Exert your Mind to increase your Mental Strength by 4 for the next non-combat action you take with this Effect.
- Line of Sight: You must be able to visually observe anything you interact with, and any actions that you are taking will end if their target moves out of sight.
- Unarmed Combat: You cannot deal damage through unarmed combat or thrown objects with this Effect, though you may still grapple with targets.
- Weapons: You cannot wield weapons effectively in combat.
- Fine Tools: You are otherwise limited to actions that a normal human could do with their bare hands.

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.

Dream Grasp
Sage either stares intently at her target, or closes her eyes for a moment when targeting herself. Tiny trailing wisps come off the target for a moment, as it begins to move. They look like something between 3d shadow or unnaturally dense smoke, it's difficult to tell with how quickly they dissipate.
Years ago, I was staying with my rich grandmother for a while, and she revealed to me that she's more than she seems. Specifically, that she's an alchemist, among other things. I wanted to believe her but she knew I'd keep doubting until she proved it. So, she made me some special tea to enhance my dreams. In those dreams, I could move things, as if I could reach out beyond my reach. I could even focus really hard and lift myself off the ground.
When I woke up, I could still do it, and part of me feels like I've been dreaming ever since. Grandmother insisted that she didn't mean for it to have a lasting effect, but it did. People call it telekinesis, but it feels like the essence of my dreams is doing the lifting for me.

Death’s Hand
“A sculptor of flesh, barely a reaper of souls. What are you exactly?”
The flesh starts to painfully flay from Penny’s arm, forming globs of fat and pools of blood and suspending them in the air, forming a mangled shape in the air that is webbed together by strings of muscle. Relative to this, your other powers seem sterile and gothic, but this, this visceral Lovecraftian nightmare, is truly a symptom of your ever declining sanity.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction to activate. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect.
