Not Quite Angelic What kind of possessed child can’t levitate?
Grace grins and tilts backwards like a trust fall which comes to a sudden, jarring stop a few inches above the ground. Grace goes horizontal and rises in the air with the ghostly white dress and wispy hair of her best friend trailing underneath them. As they get farther up, they’ll straighten up and take their place in the sky, hovering eerily with a brighter red in their eyes than normal.
Grace can’t come down from this display on her own- if she needs to, she’ll toss a rope down at a teammate to pull her along by the ankle like a balloon until she settles to the ground.
Chamael was the inspiration- spending time with him had them jumping off a hotel bed, determined to fly just like he could. Cham was neither happy nor impressed.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate.
You may levitate off the ground at three times your normal walking speed. The effect lasts for the next minute, and while it is active, you cannot choose to end the effect early, or come closer than 15 feet to the ground.
While in the air, your move speed and encumbrance are based on your rating in Mind instead of your Brawn and Dexterity.
- Your free Movement while levitating is now 5 + (5 x Mind) feet per round without incurring a dice penalty. You may extend your Movement by up to 20 extra feet, taking a -1 dice penalty for every 5 extra feet you travel.
- If something pushes or forces you down towards the ground, your buoyancy will automatically push you back upwards to a height of at least 5 feet off the ground.
- Any penalties to dice or movement, including from Encumbrance, are applied as normal. If your movement is reduced to 0 due to encumbrance, you will begin to sink down to the ground.
- You may activate this Effect while in midair, allowing you to slow and survive any free fall.

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.

Drunken Somersault Cloud
“Whee”
Pete stands tall, his eyes fixed on the sky. He takes a deep breath and lets out a sharp whistle, a clear, resonant sound that echoes in the air. Moments later, a small, fluffy cloud begins to descend from the heavens, looking almost like a soft, white piece of the sky itself, reminiscent of ancient tales.
As the cloud draws nearer, Pete braces himself, then performs a flawless somersault, landing deftly on top of the cloud. The cloud feels surprisingly solid beneath his feet, and a sense of lightness envelops him. With a focused mind, Pete maintains his concentration, ensuring the ritual's success. He stands on the cloud, which gently rises, lifting him above the ground.
The cloud, now carrying Pete, begins to move smoothly and silently. As he gains altitude, he feels an exhilarating sense of freedom. The landscape below grows smaller, and the wind rushes past him. He leans forward slightly, and the cloud responds, moving forward with ease, though it sways gently, almost as if it had a playful spirit.
While flying, Pete can maneuver the cloud with incredible agility, reminiscent of the legendary journey of Sun Wukong. He darts left and right, ascends and descends with precision, the cloud effortlessly following his movements. It sways and moves with a life of its own, a subtle nod to its mythical origins.
As Pete glides through the air, the world below unfolds in a breathtaking panorama. The cloud remains steady beneath him, providing a safe and reliable platform. For two hours, Pete soars through the skies, exploring the world from a bird's-eye view, immune to the dangers of falling and reveling in the unmatched freedom of flight. The cloud, seemingly imbued with ancient magic, hints at its legendary origin tied to the mythical Monkey King.
Exert your Mind and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: Pete Whistles and waits for a small cloud to descend from the sky he dodges it with a somersault landing on top then. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted. This Effect remains active for two hours.

Telekinetic Flight
"Practice makes perfect."
Tam has levitated herself enough that she's learned how 'fling' herself though the air, at a significant rate of speed and control. Once she gets into the routine of doing it, she can keep it going for a couple of hours. It hurts her head a lot getting going to begin with, though, and her gloves are somewhat of a comfort for her. Difficult to focus without them.
