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.

The Dagger's Apostle
I've devoted myself to the blade, they heed my call.
Knives seem to slowly shift in my presence. When I wield a knife, I can focus on those that I've held and manipulate how they move, where they move, why they move. I am loved... and feared.
After days and nights and painful days and even longer nights of swinging my knives one after the other, I seem to understand they're place in reality... And they understand me. Everything feels numb, my eyes burn, but somehow, my knives make me feel at peace.

Mind Hands
Interact with objects without touching them physically
Elizabeth looks at the cupboard, and the cupboard, without her touching it, opens. It was containing dishes and cutlery of all sorts, but out of them, only teacup carefully floated and lands on a table next to her, followed by he tea spoon. Cupboard closed, and she looked away from it, focusing her attention on the teapot. And, as expected by now, it also flew towards her, and slowly poured its contents into the cup, before floating back to its original position.
Elizabeth was unsure of when she "awakened" her "gift". Maybe she had it since childhood and just never noticed, and thus it never developed properly, or maybe only recently, when her phone flew into her face during one morning, but either way, now she could use her mind for telekinesis. Now she didn't had to get up from her seat to brew tea, which was cool, even if impractical.
