You activate the talisman be pressing your open palm with fingers spread apart and silencing chaotic thoughts, often 'the original' (owner) would use righteous fury to summon the power of the token.
once you press down the talisman against your chest in this way the two layers of symbols align and slot together to form a single symbol and the center briefly glows the yellow of the sun on the inner sides and a burst of practically physical air descends from just above the Contractor like a whirlwind and instantly gusts out in all directions. the wind barrier 'scoops' up and pushes away all those the wearer deems to be agents of chaos.
as the wind hurls its foes away the wearers eyes also turn a solid yellow and its like looking into twin suns. As their eyes glow, drawn from their lips at any volume or language "begone chaos" is said and all those affected by it hear the words as if said next to their ear.
All those affected are then roughly 'plopped' at the edge of the talismans area of influence. Ejected from Harmony
While the wearer concentrates they stand in place and with eyes of the sun active. Air whirlwinding around them and busting out to maintain the dome of harmony.
Everything and everyone inside the dome of harmony while it is active and during activation are completely unruffled by the physical air barrier.
In fact everything inside the dome feels like its being cradled. To all animate beings it imparts a sense of comfort in who and where they are.

Create a repulsion field which extends out 45 feet from you in every direction, and lasts for the next 5 Rounds. Any Animate targets within the field cannot move any closer towards you.

If you are watching the individual using this power, you can see that he is actively holding a magnifying glass in his hand, sometimes bringing it up to his eye, but it seems that even while holding it, it doesn't look like he is doing much with it.

Nik taps at his smartphone, and a burst of binary appears in the air in front of their targeted object, leaving observers with the distinct sense that the code of reality has just been rewritten.

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.

The raised creature must consume flesh every day or it will die again.
Raised creatures have their Abilities set to the same that they were in life. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.
Your revived targets deal 2 Weapon Damage with their unarmed attacks.
If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.
As a free creature, The Fairy cannot withstand being caged or imprisioned in any way. Luckily, they possess a glamour that allows them to unlock any lock binding them with a wink of their eye. The lock falls open with a sparkle of light and a sound like a ringing bell.

The creature's claws rip through the poor, defenseless doctor's coat, opening deep gashes in their gut. It bares its fangs to lunge for the killing blow, but the doctor looks up at the attacker. Their eyes filed not with utter terror at their imminent demise, only a look of disappointment and pity. Touched, the monster hesitates. . .

Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
