Touch Magic: Alas, there is no actual section for 'Touch Magic' as that happened only after otherworlders were starting to get summoned. However, the Magic section does have one bit of information on something similar:
There is magic behind touches, as long as they have some kind of an intention behind them. Just placing a hand on someone's shoulder and thinking you need to comfort them has magic that will actually make someone feel better. However, the same can be said about touch with ill intentions. Someone who loathes another may very well cause even permanent damage to someone just by touching and feeling these feelings. While the effects are more 'mental' than 'physical', the ill-meant touches may feel like they affect the whole package.
Creatures: Some monsters are shapeshifters and can turn into any kind of creature they see. A lot of them pretend to be like the creatures, mostly to spy habits and best ways to eventually attack the community from the outside. As people, they can even mimic speech. It's very hard to tell that they're not what they pretend to be.
