==Boons and Items==
*The Fainter can be asked questions if present and not hostile
*The Lost in the Bookstore can answer questions accurately, though not about anything especially obscure
*Alternatively, three Lost books can be obtained per run from the Bookstore, one of which has a minor boon and one a minor curse, and may be written in various languages
*Blue objects from the Hallways will be associated with a person or location on Earth, which they can be taken to and awakened for their boon. The person or residents of the location will find the Finder strange, and with each additional awakened boon item, increasingly so will Innocents in general, a drawback which is permanent regardless of what happens to the objects.<ref name="hall/> Boon items have the consistent theme of being related to travel and social interactions or relationships, easing them in a significant way but with a drawback for mundane situations, and in a small but uncomplicated way for magic situations.<ref>'''Boons and Patterns'''<br><br>Boons given by the FOA tend to be obscure and weird, centered around one's place in the world, schedules and events, relationships, travel, and knowledge. Often an obscure benefit is granted by one, at a cost of something going wrong on another front. As with most boons, often have a subtle effect on all Finder's Paths walked, or a general 'Finder's Bonus', escalating more steeply for dedicated Finders.<br><br>Examples include:
*Broken Car Keys - while held, an old taxi or a person offering a ride (sometimes an Uber or Lyft driver) will make themselves available, free of charge. The ride tends to be either very unpleasant (a racist driver, a driver with B.O.) or the arrival at the destination is delayed enough to be mildly annoying. Neutral Others on the Paths are more likely to be helpful in small ways.
*Wet Invitation - A damp invitation to an unspecified event. If given over to someone who is guarding the way (usher, bouncer, etc), will be treated as valid movie tickets, an invitation to a wedding, access to backstage for a band, etc. The event is always spoiled or thrown into chaos somehow (projector failure, bride caught screwing the best man, band performer gets drunk and is belligerent). Gives a very small (~1%) chance that an obstacle or riddle auto-solves.
*Hairy Chocolate - Chocolate with pubic hair in it. The imbiber attracts romantic attention more, but their romantic interests tend to struggle with mental imbalance (or if already struggling, struggle more). Having eaten this subtly improves relationships with most Others, turning the most hostile Others (Bogeymen, Goblins) more neutral. - [https://old.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/hp8xmw/_/fy8jyl6 Wildbow comment on Reddit]</ref>
*The apple from the Teacher can be eaten to gain knowledge equal to a few years of study in a mundane subject, but prevents the Finder from materially benefitting from the knowledge gained<ref name="class"/>
