Sally extends her hand out into the thin air, where the spirit lies in wait. The horrid little creature that she once assumed to be an amalgamation of intrusive thoughts and her own subconscious, stabs it’s little fangs into her, and begins to grow from the blood, drawing in nearby dirt and earth until it is a bloody clay, and once it is full it dries into flesh. For many years the spirit has demanded that it be fed blood, and now it finally gets what it wants.

Imagine a horde of small demon mushroom men, each standing about two feet tall. Their caps are a vibrant mix of deep purples, sickly greens, and ominous blacks, resembling both mushrooms and sinister hats. Their bodies are squat and bulbous, covered in a textured, spore-like skin that shimmers in the dim light.
Each creature has wide, glowing eyes that flicker like candle flames, conveying both mischief and malice. Instead of mouths, they sport jagged, gaping maws filled with tiny, needle-like teeth, ready to snap at anything that comes too close.
Their limbs are spindly and disproportionate, with long fingers that end in sharp, claw-like nails, perfect for digging into the ground or snatching at prey. As they move, they emit a faint, earthy smell mixed with a hint of decay, and small clouds of spores waft around them, creating an almost dreamlike haze.
In unison, they scuttle forward, their tiny feet barely making a sound, creating a sense of creeping dread. They communicate through high-pitched cackles and chattering noises, sharing their wicked intentions as they swarm, ready to spread chaos wherever they roam
In shadows deep, where whispers creep,
Small demon mushrooms dance and leap.
With caps of gloom and eyes aglow,
They skitter forth in a wicked flow.
Their spore-filled laughter fills the air,
A mischievous sound, a chilling snare.
In crooked lines, they scuttle near,
With jagged grins, they spread their fear.
A horde of mischief, sly and spry,
In moonlit nights, they prowl and pry.
Beware the woods where they convene,
For in their dance, dark dreams are seen.

When the effect is being activated, the earrings start projecting a beam of light that weaves a copy of the user out of golden strings. The copy is about one fifth the size of the user and understands their commands. It can tell the user what it has seen by touching them.

You see a small spiderlike drone about the size of a large dinner plate. It has eight legs and it can scurry along the ground or up a wall quite fast. Though obviously a techno-drone Tom has made some effort to both make them look more realistic and to camouflage them from prying eyes. As a result they look a bit like large tarantulas, with brown fur and four pairs of alert, shining black eyes. They blend in shockingly well to most forest or urban environments and are difficult to spot even when moving and are almost undetectable when sitting still.
Though virtually silent when moving slowly at higher speeds they make a quiet hum as they leap from one rock to the next, intent of their mission.
Tom the Tinkerer is a electronics and robotics genius and nowhere is that more evident than when you see his latest set of robotic helpers, a set of three robotic spider-bots he can carry in a backpack and deploy where they are needed. The spider-bots have artificial intelligence and in "autonomous mode" can obey simple spoken commands somewhat like a well-trained dog. They can also be controlled in "direct mode" through a small X-box-like controller Tom carries with him (though he can only control one drone at a time this way). The controller sports both a video screen and headphones, so Tom can both see and hear what the drone see and hears. The drones are armed with hypodermic-like fangs that can inject a variety of substances, including poison, sleep or paralysis drugs. These fangs can be either retained or launched as darts; each spider bot has eight reloads of its "fangs".
Each spider contains 100 feet of strong paracord-like webbing that can be anchored and used much like a spider uses its webs, though the paracord itself is not sticky. It can, however, be used to trip or entangle the unwary or act as a grappling hook if Tom needs to get down or over some obstacle.
When activated the spiders consume rechargeable batteries. How long the batteries last depends on how much movement the spider is doing; an hour or two in direct combat, or up to forty-eight hours in non-moving "sentry mode".
Tom is always tinkering with the bots, adding or removing features in his search for perfection.

The Vampire is able to turn one of their victims into a lesser vampire, a pale shadow of a full creature of the night but useful nonetheless. Having drained and killed their target, the Vampire performs a brief ritualistic bloodletting, wherein they spill their own blood into the target's mouth, forcing them to drink, and bonding them together as child and sire.
Shortly afterwards, the fledgling vampire will rise from death, hungry for blood and eager to serve.
