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.

Sight Denial
Fear your sight, to you it lies.
Leon's senses are evolving in unexpected ways, the offerings he'd once received to gift unto Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi, and Inari turn to ash in his hands now when he receives them at the end of his jobs. Cruel laughter echoes in his mind as if to inform him that he no longer has the luxury of the shelter provided by the divine, and as this newest evolution begins, Leon feels something wrong begins to occur. His illusory self began manifesting his authentic self, supplanting itself over his desired imaginary identity. It was all Leon could do to contain it conditionally into the fox mask he had worn as a mockery of others. A presentation of the authentic self as a mask over the false self. Now, it exists as a mockery of the self, a mirror reflecting a twisted shadow. A reflection that he could no longer deny as the shadows with his face drew closer in his dreams. Trapped now in his new reality, it is cruel that he can no longer close his eyes and shut out the truth. The screaming will not be silenced; the smell of her blood will never leave his senses. He can no longer hide behind closed eyes or ignore the festering rot he feels inside. All he can do is don the mask.
You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using an Inari Mask to gain the benefits of this Effect.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

- Hearing: You may hear sounds of sub- and hyper-sonic frequencies, allowing you to hear tiny things (mice, insects, etc) better, and pick up on the vibrations of massive things (earthquakes, atmospheric disruptions, etc) long before others.
