Marauders Superior Observation

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.

Seeking Powder
I was a little curious why he bought so much makeup at the mall.
The Thief casts a container's worth of fine powder into the air. The particulates are drawn to any sort of object that is designed to detect people, including tripwires, security cameras, detection lasers, heat sensors, etc. The powder will not trigger these devices or interfere with their operation, but it does reveal their presence to the Thief.

Dowsing
"Ah...yes, I feel something this way..."
The ancient art of Dowsing allows the Psychic Sensitive to tune into the vibrations of hidden or lost things. Traditionally used to find hidden groundwater, the practice grew to find other resources, with Dowsing being employed to look for oils reserves or gold.
Items of great sentimental value shine like a beacon to this method of Divination, as well as hidden resources, such as caches of food/supplies, stores of groundwater, or similar. This time honored tradition requires a dowsing rod, either a forked stick or tuning fork, to function.
Antiquities: Anything that is both Old & Valuable
