Okay, a little behind-the-scenes here. Special Agent Johnson is basically the field commander of all of the MiBs (Mages in Black) in Autumn Bay (as well as the unofficial liaison to the Shadowlight League because of his friendship with Sophie Peterson). Like many MiBs, he doesn't actually have any magic of his own (some do). What he does have is a variety of magically-infused trinkets.

For instance, his glasses allow him to scan the auras of people and things around him. This is a common item among MiBs, and at least one pair is in the hands of a non-MiB. You might know her. Her name is Mercy. :)

MiB suits can be a sort of passive sensory filter, making them harder to notice if you are not actively looking for them.

The "anchor" basically prevents anyone in the area from teleporting.

@ Ghost: You really think Carter Lake cutting loose in downtown Autumn Bay is a Good Idea?

@ Fabian: It's a lot easier to suspend a one-shot magical effect in an item than making a multi-use item.

Agent Johnson has no actual magical talent. He makes up for that through the use of trinkets and such.

I think you're going to enjoy Felix Harper, Sea. He's a lot of fun.

Too bad he's trickster scum and needs to be brought in...
