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.

Spiritboxing
David punches the creature into a wall, and as he does so, it becomes clear he has mastered how to use the ghost’s unnatural strength
David has mastered using Bobby’s elemental to fight. The translucent ghostly shell disorients opponents, giving David opportunities to weave in his spiritual anger powered punches. At certain critical points of the fighting, the elemental’s (basically “ghost”) fists will even grow translucently red with rage over David’s own as he strikes critical blows.
David has learned to harness Bobby’s elemental, amplifying its rage and making its blows truly deadly. The two work in a more coordinated fashion now as well, without as much of a disconnect in their movements.
