Umbra’s Spite "What are you without me? I am BETTER! And you are?..."
Umbra is confirmed a far better markswoman than Luci is, no question about it, aided by a vast array of knowledge and wisdom within the Well that Luci does not have access to.
So, begrudgingly, when the time comes to get loud, Umbra is almost always the better pick for the job.
You gain the following benefits as long as engaged in combat with firearms.
+2 dice to all firearms rolls.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Luci hallucinates the shadows of her regret, shame, and disappointment related to her own actions, Umbra's actions, and those both of them have killed. She will need to roll self control to not wash that from her own hands whenever the opportunity presents itself.
You also gain the following effects:
- Bullet Parry: You may use a Reaction to Defend against any Melee, thrown, or projectile Attack in range of your Attacks.
- Point Control: Called Shots that you attempt only require a Contested Outcome of 2 for small targets and 4 for tiny targets.

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.

Swift Hand of Death
"You are he who extinguishes."
Ibzan's trigger finger itches slightly. Something moves through the gravekeeper, his breathing steadied. He had never thought he'd do something like this before, never thought he'd need to.
And yet, his flame burns brightly. Unwavering, yet to be extinguished.
There's a crack through the air, from an apartment in a place long unknown.
Blood paints the walls as the corpse falls.
There stands a champion of life, weapon held tight.
Lighter in hand, he reflects
in the lands of eternal night.
