Zwarte Piet’s Coal

Origin
Zwarte Piet, known as Black Peter in English, is the companion of Saint Nicholas in Dutch culture. Typically depicted in Renaissance clothing with dark skin, curly lips, red lipstick and earrings, Zwarte Piet was made to be a more fun loving and affectionate character to balance out the earlier, less forgiving Sinterklaas. He would provide well-behaved children with presents, while mischievous ones would receive coal or even be taken away for birching. In recent times, the character has come under criticism for the continuation of blackface without any justifiable reason. While some sources claimed Zwarte Piet was dark due to Spanish lineage or from working as a chimney sweep in Italy, many marketers have started using alternatives such as golden skin to avoid controversy.

Effects
Rubbing upon large portions of the body and rapidly moving the fingers lets the user create small toys and treats from nothingness. Covering more of the body lets the user create large and more complex items, though they never reach the size of a full person. They will feel compelled to give these trinkets to random strangers they sense as good-hearted or clean, and to take action against the naughty. By confronting the subject, the two will become enveloped in a thick smog of darkness which no outsiders can peer into. Many times, the offender will receive a severe beating which will leave them requiring immediate medical care.
