Lucky I Noticed The Sirens “A good theif knows when to bail.”
Patrick has started to get a feeling when something is looking for him. It’s like a sixth sense that tells him when to leave a crime scene. He can hone it further by talking to the fae in the mirrors asking if those around are looking for him.
Exert your Mind and spend three Actions performing the following ritual: Knocks on a mirror twice and says “Mirror Mirror who should I fear”. You must actively and obviously use An object with a reflective surface to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.
You automatically detect all Those that Have searched for Them and Those that are searching for Them within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
Even while this Effect is not active, if any Those that Have searched for Them or Those that are searching for Them come within 300 feet of you, you may roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 7 to detect them.
Even if there are no Those that Have searched for Them or Those that are searching for Them within 300 feet of you, you become aware of the direction the closest one is in, as well as a rough sense of its distance from you.
You receive A Glimpse of their Face for each being you detect.

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.

A shiver wracks Grace and Obedience’s body and a faint blue glow illuminates the overlapped eye tattoo on their left temple. They have a moment of vertigo as their consciousness is pulled back and forth from beyond the “veil” to see who else is there.
The girls’ power continues to grow with their search for the mess they made by opening Pandora’s Box. They’ve already gotten ahold of the feeling they get when they know they’re headed towards a spirit of interest; they’ll be able to conjure up that feeling again from now on.

Jury Selection
Loyabard starts listing the reasons that someone might get excluded from a jury. While doing so the words spew out of his mouth and run in tiny invisible streams of text outwards to range. They peruse each possible target in range and relay information back to loyabard on the people that match the criteria.

Wild Hunt’s Snare
Colvin whips his head to the right, staring into the trees. He knows what kind of thing lurks in wait for him
Colvin becomes aware, like a driving lance in his head, like an obstruction he can’t ignore, that one of the Fae Folk is nearby. He’ll likely whip his head erratically to look at it, before setting off on his hunt.
The Wild Hunt recognizes its own kind. Many of the hunt are linked to the Fae and many are such beings themselves, and the spear…adapts to the obsession of its wielder. Colvin’s obsession is his hatred of the Fae. He will stalk to the ends of the world to end them, if need be. The spear is more than happy to feed his hunger, while turning him into a piecemeal facsimile of the beings he hates most.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You automatically detect all Fae Folk/Fairies within 50 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.

Temporal Anomaly
Guido suddenly honks in alarm, his eyes crackling with psychic power as he cranes his long neck around looking for something.
Guido has a particular sensitivity to creatures that are not part of the local time stream. This includes Time Travelers, Extra-dimensional beings, or in some cases creatures that have Powers to warp/alter Space/Time.
While always capable of picking up these emanations, Guido can delve deeper into the time stream to pinpoint them. Doing so causes a psychic disturbance in the area, & is traumatic to the psyche of the little dinosaur.

"Reaper" Assault Helmet
"Target acquired."
The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when activated, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants. Anyone nearby who is holding a weapon is painted with a red dot that follows them in real time. This allows the Future Soldier to fire at painted targets in the dark, detect ambushes lurking around corners, and grants an overall tactical advantage.
Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action.
