The Blood of the Land "All land has had blood shed over it. All blood wishes to speak still."
Emily lets out a breath, and with her claws, slices the insides of her arm, allowing the blood (for power) to spill to the ground. She then mixes a vial of virgin's blood (for tempting), and mixes it with the dirt (for binding). In a pinch, she can smear it on the floor, but the creatures that speak though the blood to her do not appreciate this as much.
They whisper to her the desires of the land and those in it. Those who desire to hurt, those who desire to change, those who desire to move.

The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).

Ticket to hyperspace
Looks like a crack pipe to me...
The glass tube with the bulb in the end seems caked with blackish blue resin and tar, but no drug material is needed neccesarily. Applying flame and taking a deep hit, instantly explodes the user's consciousness to encompass the range of the effect. They are one with the energy in all things briefly, before it abruptly collapses back again like a bubble popping, leaving them drooling and euphoric.
As the user's senses come back around, they are able to walk and speak within moments, and more or less ignore the related hallucinations that continue for quite a while afterwards (stumbling around and distracted as if exhausted).
The information overload takes time to sort through, but comes as an 'aha! It all makes sense now!' moment at the end of the casting time.

Runes of Discovery
Let's see what's out there.
Mike marks the glasses with runes representing knowledge and revelation. He then looks through the lenses at the surrounding area, as they absorb trace energies from nearby sources of power or the traces left behind by beings who have passed through. At the end of a minute, the rune markings fade and "drain" backward from the lenses into Mike's eyes, imparting the knowledge of what they have absorbed and leaving behind an unmarked surface
After facing the storms, Mike was forced to confront his weakness in information gathering, and delved into studying ways to reveal hidden information. the quality of what he gleans is tied to how well the runes are drawn, as a crisp, superlative rune provides detailed information, so does a crude, deformed rune give a murkier view.
