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.

Iniuria translationis
Observer:
The casters body is slowly taken by a dark void before the physical body of the caster is disfigured with painful screeches coming from the void. After a few second the body is visible to the eye of the observer, looking almost as if it's a corpse, screeching at the victim at who iniuria translationis is used at. After the transfer of the pain is complete the effects of the caster are reversed.
Participant:
Excruciating pain all over the body as they also witness the disfiguration of the caster. Once the caster is screeching at them, they feel as if they are forcefully being colided with another person, as if their skin has become someone elses.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within arm's reach. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Perception + Alertness at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them. They can resist by rolling either Body or Mind at Difficulty 6, depending on what you are attempting to transfer to them.
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 Injury and any Battle Scars it caused
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see demonic disfiguration of the caster's physical body to almost complete unrecognition until the effect is finished.
Whenever you transfer an Injury, it's Severity increases by 1. Whenever you transfer Mind damage or Traumas, the recipient takes an additional Mind damage.
- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
- 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.
Experiment 00-68-6057 "The Poor will Thank Us!"
You got hurt? Maybe even mortally injured? Well we have a solution for you!
When used, the affected area starts bleeding rapidly, where every layer of blood that comes out, it dries super fast then builds up a new layer of healed flesh under it till the injury has been fully transferred. If it's an internal effect, blood will either come out of another orifice closest to the injury or a black goop. If it's a mental effect, it will fill the eyes before draining via tears.
This is one of the few experiments that got the intended effect; after a long time of trying to find a way to heal significant damage, we figured out a way. However, the injuries, for at least what we have seen, are a fundamental part of reality. So instead of just healing it, it has to be transferred. This is still beneficial as we have figured out also to do it wirelessly via some quantum physics shenanigans my workers have done. I don't really care. I'm just happy it works.

That Looks Useful
“I’ll just borrow this”
When Jacob decides to use this power, he must be within arm’s reach of his target. If the target is unwilling, Jacob’s natural charisma comes into play as he attempts to sway them—using a blend of persuasive charm and subtle manipulation to lower their defenses. A successful use of his power results in an almost invisible exchange, like a whisper of energy transferring between him and his target.
