Smoky Form
Gaspar can partially disperse without returning to the flask.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action.
You transform into a cloud of smoke for the next minute. You may end the effect early and return to your normal form at will. Your structure must remain relatively contiguous. Observers will view you as an unusual entity moving with a singular purpose.
While in this form, you can squeeze through any gap that is not air-tight, though this may take more than one Action at GMs discretion.
Damage from standard attacks is halved, but Damage from AOE effects is increased by 1. You may suffer Damage from wind and powerful gusts at GM’s discretion.
You cannot communicate, use equipment, or use Gifts while transformed. Your equipment does not transform with you beyond basic body coverings. Carrying capacity is unaffected.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Gaspar's physical body seem to burn away in layers of muscle and tissue.
- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.

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.

Kiss of Beelzebub
When the Red Twitching Larvae is consumed, it writhes and pulses as it dissolves in your mouth, staining your teeth and tongue a deep, blood-red. Your skin begins to swell and ripple unnaturally, as if countless insects are crawling just beneath the surface. Within moments, flesh sloughs off in wet, pulsing chunks, unraveling like decaying threads. Swarms of fat, glistening blood flies spill from every opening — eyes, mouth, pores — until your body collapses entirely into a buzzing, writhing cloud.
The swarm itself drifts and writhes like any mass of insects, though an astute observer might notice a disquieting coordination to its movements. The flies hover unnaturally close together, their collective hum almost rhythmic, like a pulse. Despite the grotesque spectacle, there is no immediate indication that the swarm is anything more than a natural occurrence — unless, of course, someone witnessed the gruesome transformation.
The larvae itself is a slick, crimson thing that pulses with an internal glow, unmistakably unnatural. Even before activation, it twitches and squirms of its own accord, as if eager to be consumed.
Use up this Red Twitching Larvae and spend an Action.
