Horrible Regret "Why?"
Those who attack a being as pure as Terry find themselves regretting their decision, changing their mind mid-attack, and forever abhorring violence.
This Effect activates whenever a target injures Terry, dealing at least a severity-2 Injury or looks upon the injury up close. One per injury. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a Sapient target within 300 feet. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8 with a -3 dice penalty. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically and their Outcome is 0.
If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes Mind damage equal to the Contested Outcome. If you deal at least 3 Mind damage, the target will gain a phobia of violence as a Trauma. This Trauma may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Targets that receive a new Trauma are aware that you are interacting with them but they do not view it as an attack or view the resulting Trauma as malicious. If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.
- 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.

Offr.com: What's it worth?
"Most people know Offr.com as the home of the gig economy: a website where you can find a buyer for your old couch, and a worker to haul it away. It’s the home of everything from marketplace goods and bespoke commissions to task fulfillment and transportation services. Some whisper about less-than-legal deals being available on a 'dark web' version of Offr.com. The company denies these claims."
Sooner or later, all Contractors receive an invitation to join Offr Red, the secret membership tier. Offr Red members gain access to exclusive high-confidence, anonymous services. They can sell extraordinary items to Offr or put them up for auction for other Offr Red members to bid on. Crafty Contractors rejoice!
On rare occasions, Offr can even make deals to tie up pesky Loose Ends. However, they always demand a special favor in return.

Eldritch Retaliation
Your mind is your greatest weapon; why not use it as one?
You have opened your mind to things beyond most human's comprehension. When you are injured, your third eye awakens in retaliation, flooding the attacker with incomprehensible visions of the unknowable depths of the universe. A ghostly eye appears on your forehead, glowing an ethereal green. The eye pierces into the target's mind before closing and disappearing.
Fletcher's pocket notebook is where he notes all of his encounters with the eldritch beyond. It is infused with this energy and partially serves as a conduit to his arcane powers.

The mouth of Babylonius
Gustav's mouth transforms dramatically, his teeth elongating and sharpening into a set of distinct points. As this happens, an eerie voice, akin to something from the depths of hell, starts speaking in an unsettling, twisted language.
The words conjure up horrifying visions of decaying bodies, writhing masses of grotesque flesh, and nightmarish deformities. What's particularly disturbing is that Gustav, too, is subjected to these gruesome visions, forced to endure the same flesh-related horrors he inflicts upon his target.

Anamnesis
Too much is not enough.
The realization that something is false triggers a particular reaction in the brain. Upon dispelling an illusion of Leon's through brute force he can force that reaction upon someone in the ensuing explosion of mystic energy. Then, when he has magic and an impulse to jump on, he feeds a little more into it and causes it to loop back in on itself. With Joao Jean's latest and greatest trick, the loop continues. Resonance aligning their mind momentarily with the state of their many possible alternate existences and past possibilities. Striking to the core of their mind as the magic tears through their brain, turning it into so much silly putty until they become unable to accept the notion of the untrue, their mind going in spirals as what was becomes as true to them as what is, and the implausible becomes incomprehensible. The fear of what could be and the pain of never knowing to haunt them throughout their days as the merest glimpse of the world beyond drives them to madness. An eternal reminder that the pain of memory doesn't fade with time. You just become accustomed to it.
This Effect activates whenever An illusion Leon created within leon's line of sight takes a severity 2 injury from a target. It does not require an Action or Exertion.
