You have some point in your refute statement under the topic "The Person’s Will Can Override Fabrications", but it revolves solely around Neutral without defense, specifically fabricating a "Jester" role to discredit a useful last will to maximize its potential. It is lacking flexibility in its possible strategy, making best possible strategy predictable and losing its core impact in the mean of the time. I don't think I will waste my use on NB role whose last will are all gibberish. Zooming in the scope, in Ranked, choices beside Jester or maybe Witch are absent. Let's say you have other faction role as the choice of fabrication:

Situation of a Town dying with other role last will is commonly interpret as a matter of gamethrowing, disguised, forged or fabricated, therefore sensing the presence of Fabricator/Disguiser/Forger is way more easier and obvious. Does it achieves the effect of stir up some doubts in the target Last Will? I would say probably, but even though it does, it can be easily clear up: Useful critical last will has high credibility that can be confirmed by third-party (Inves, LO, Tracker & Transporter's will, TP who had succesfully protect a player, Spy who had gained information through bugging, etc.), not-that-helpful last will happens to be the otherwise (TP who had yet saved anyone, Med&Vigi's will, etc.) So, useful informations stay and expose the existence of scum role, while the opposite that left little to no impact will be filtered in the process of elimination without stumbling the progess of Town. Mafia dying to Mafia is only some rare work of MVP Transporter. And Exe dying to Mafia?

Not saying this role is bad, I'm just focusing on the topic specified and how it being a significant flaw that adversely affect its feasibility. I agree that this role indirectly buff not only Forger, hence improving Mafia's coordinated performance. But speaking of its capacity of being a lone force is kinda frail. So, I suggest to merge this role with Forger. Or giving more space for creative gameplay, it can fabricate the way of death. For example, if NK haven't perform any kill, it can't change the way of death. Only after NK had someone killed, the announcement will be swap. SK kills A, Mafia kills and fabricates B. Announcer: SK kills B, Mafia kills A. This is to prevent "Mafia has been killed by Mafia" from happening.
