By clicking CTRL, the Shaman cycles through various potions (which boost the capabilities of the Shaman) and curses (which limit the capabilities of Survivors.) All of these have different amounts of charges, and a potion is shown apart from a curse and vice versa by a blue border around a potion when it is selected, and a red border around a curse. It takes 1 second to drink a potion, and half of a second to cast a curse. Curses have a max range of 8 meters, and can hit a Survivor within a 12 degree cone in front of the Shaman. While drinking a potion or casting a curse, the Shaman moves at 95% movement speed.
Potions:
Adrenaline Potion - Starts with 3 charges. After drinking this, the Shaman gains 20% Haste for 15 seconds. 1 charge is regained every 90 seconds.
Endurance Potion - Starts with 5 charges. After drinking this, the Shaman takes 20% less time to recover from all stuns for the next 60 seconds. 1 charge is regained every 90 seconds.
Invisibility Potion - Starts with 1 charge. After drinking this, the Shaman has the Undetectable status effect for 30 seconds. 1 charge is regained every 90 seconds.
Curses:
Hindering Curse - Starts with 5 charges. A Survivor hit by this curse has their speed decreased by 20% for the next 10 seconds, which decreases to their speed being decreased by 10% for the next 10 seconds after the first, then 5% until the curse is removed. 1 charge is regained every 90 seconds.
Regressing Curse - Starts with 2 charges. a Survivor hit by this curse repairs generators 35% slower, and after letting go of a generator they have repaired, it will instantly lose half the progress it gained while they were working on it, and starts regressing. This lasts until the curse is removed. 1 charge is regained every 90 seconds.
Curses can be removed by breaking a charm on the front of a hook. All hooks spawn with 1 large charm on the front of them. After a charm is broken, it removes all curses affecting that Survivor, but it will not come back and can no longer be used. If a Survivor is hooked while they are afflicted with a curse, that curse will be removed, but will corrupt that hook. It takes 15 seconds to break a charm. When a Survivor breaks the charm on that hook, the curses they are afflicted with are removed, but they are afflicted with the Exposed status effect for 60 seconds, and are marked with Killer Instinct for 10 seconds after breaking the corrupted charm.
The Shaman can also break corrupted charms, which are marked with a red aura for the Shaman, in order to gain back all charges on all curses. If a curse hits a charm, after 60 seconds a Survivor that broke that charm is afflicted with the curse the Shaman used on it, but it goes away after 60 seconds. Curses cannot be applied to corrupted charms.

Adrenaline potion sounds very overpowered

It very well could be, but this is a 110% speed Killer, so after a brief slowdown it gets a speed boost that's only effectively 5% better than Clown's, and Clown's speed boost doesn't slow him down at all to use. Also, Legion in his power moves at 130% just for reference.
In conjunction with the Hindering Curse it could drain the Survivor's resources very easily, yes, but the entire thing with this Killer is resource management from both sides. Worse comes to worse I could just half the time the adrenaline potion is active though, or even make it 10 seconds but give it a 30% speed increase instead of 20%.

the speed boost itself is fine, but a 30 second duration is really powerful.

I'll make it 15 then.
