Mass Hallucination Uplink I Know Gun-Fu
The MaHU chip is good for a two-hour direct connection with the Somningenium. With it, the borrowed power of MOLL(ⲩ)'s dream engine is at your fingertips. Use it responsibly. Unconscious submersion for longer than two hours per day is not medically recommended.
An intense cyan light flares from the microprocessor's spot beneath the user's skin (typically installed on the back of the neck or base of the spine). The user's irises, as well as random capillaries in any body parts augmented by their borrowed powers, emit the same light until the channeling is complete.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Choose MOLL(y) as a target, regardless of how far away they are. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you experience a catastrophic synchronization error - immediately gain all of MOLL(y)'s current traumas. If you would gain no traumas from this, roll to resist the following Trauma: 'Identity Sublimation - When using a secondary ability, roll Self-Control. On a failure, roll as though you had a score of 0 in the ability.'. Your target may Resist to cancel the transfer.
You may choose a single instance of one of the following to transfer from your target to yourself, or from yourself to them:
- A single Power. Lasts two hours. You cannot transfer this Power.
- If the Player that controls the selected Blood Bond target is not present and has not given prior authorization that their character consents to all transfers, the Effect fails. You cannot pause the game pending communication with a Player that is not present.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

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.

Strings of Fate
Everything that's ever happened, hangs on by merely a thread
Momma Ettu pulls out the artifact, holding it gently in her palm, as she mumbles oy, it was a near miss... Staring at the eye, she reaches out into the air to grasp something unseen. it doesn't look different from a mime and his invisible rope, leading to the target if it weren't for the eye flicking around in her palm, as if looking around quickly before guiding Ettu do her goal.
She visibly grabs the invisible string, and aims it at the person- manipulating the strings of fate that link the injury to the target's 'destiny'.

Camellia Abberate
Your heart shall bleed for me.
As Luciole traces her finger along the mark of the Ichor Order, crimson lines draw the same mark upon the target. Red camellias bloom and eat away at them from the inside out until they get the battle scar and/or trauma that Luciole has chosen to bestow upon them.
On camellias:
A lot of flowers have one-worded meanings, but the camellia is among those that surround deeper feelings that can't ever be expressed with one word. "My heart bleeds for you." You could argue that this is just empathy, but I've always known it was more than that. I'd bleed for you. I'd sacrifice everything for you. The red means I love you.
On exchange:
People have only ever taken from me. That's fine, I'll keep on giving. Sharing is caring. Let me share my experiences with you. Baring one's heart to another is how people bond, right? That's the only way you'll grow and bloom. You'll be such a beautiful little flower. Then you'll understand me. Finally someone will understand. And at last, you can carry my burdens.

Beer belly.

Nosferatu's Refraction
To drink through the mirror.
Your wounds shimmer - for a moment, it seems as though they stitch themselves closed, but in reality, they are becoming unwounded - cuts do not close, they simply never were, and lost limbs are not regrown, they were simply never lost.
Elsewhere, in a tight cage in a dark cell, the Pig screams and pays the price of equilibrium.
Nosferatu's Refraction allows its user to form a bond with another via a bite - this bond is not a metaphysical bond, but a metanarrative one. The bond entangles the two beings through a shared entropic link - through it, the Master may rewrite events such that harm they suffered was instead suffered by the Bonded.
