Bermudan Stasis Guava "Hey, you're doing great, okay? Let's take a breather, just me and you."
A strange, bulbous guava fruit that has transparent skin, showing of the glowing blue flesh within. It is soft and tender, and when split in half with your bare hands, it lets off a spark.
Marcielle's first attempt at cultivating the perfect crop. The Bermudan Stasis Guava is imbued with bizarre, unrefined energy, and as a result seems to only exist about 90% within stable spacetime. No, she doesn't understand it either. Due to its temporal instability, it doesn't make a very good mass crop. In theory, however, it is shelf stable forever.
Use up this blue guava fruit and spend an Action.
You phase out of reality for 4 Rounds. During this time, you cannot perceive or affect the outside world but may take mental and self-targeting Actions. You cannot move. Nothing can interact with you in any way.
When you phase out, you may bring up to 1 additional target in arm's reach with you. While phased out together, you may interact as if standing in an empty void that extends infinitely in all directions.
You leave a glowing guava tree sapling at your location.
- This consumable is destroyed when used and cannot be used again.
- You may use your Free Movement on the Round you phase back in, but you cannot take an Action.

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.

Unmomented
"He is here, but not now."
The moment the capacitor fried, so did his anchor to time. Now, when his body takes a hit, his atoms remember that one particular Tuesday in 1824 and simply leave. One flash, one glitch, and Frances is gone,just long enough to let the world calm down.

The world doesn't dream of Yokai Kaido

Wraith Haven
A moment of respite, lovingly granted.
Whenever the Artifact owner attempts to enter or leave the pocket realm, space contorts and either folds in on itself or unravels in a non-Euclidean manner, either swallowing or revealing their existence as well as the existence of any selected nearby targets. Observing this effect is uncomfortable to spectators.
The void of the pocket realm is formed from unknown, barely-visible, ever-shifting black glyphs. Sparse crimson motes reminiscent of eldritch rubies float throughout this space, providing a bit of light if they are close to the space's theoretical center. Additionally, the Artifact owner's lover is manifested within the pocket realm as well.

Dimensional Cower
The user simply sees their vision shift to become a bit blurrier, if bloodshot. The rest of the world sees their body fold in from the center, stretches of flesh, sinew, and bone ripping the body into an invisible point before disappearing entirely. Standing directly near the point of disappearance will occasionally result in hearing otherworldly mutters, moans, and flesh contorting.
