Salt for the Slug God

Hello! This is my first post. I really like Dead By Daylight and would like to make a suggestion. How about a killer ability that allows the killer to pull out a salt shaker and use it to coat a slugged player with salt? The falling salt should be visible: a white, sparkling cloud - satisfying to the eye - and there should be a nice sound effect. It should be a muted sparkle. A dirty, sinister sparkle. Not a glimmering, happy, fairy-dust sparkle. This is Dead by Daylight, after all.

The survivor would scream in pain as the salt falls onto their wounds then a negative status added that makes them crawl slower. Crawling is hard with painful wounds full of salt. Or maybe they would bleed out marginally faster than normal. Or both.

Alternatively, make it a purely cosmetic ability purchasable with Auric cells. In this case, it would not add any effects. Just the animations, sounds, and making the slug scream only during the salting animation. In this case, using it would come at a competitive disadvantage because the killer would be wasting time salting the slug unless all other survivors were already sacrificed or incapacitated. This is not a problem. People will love to use it anyway because who doesn't want to salt a slug?

The spring weather is warming into summer and the slugs are emerging to enjoy the dewy, cool morning air out so this would be a nice item to celebrate the changing of the season in a Dead By Daylight sort of way.

A pretty paneled shaker like this one below would be nice. Maybe different styles of shakers can be bought with auric cells like outfits. Thank you!
