Survivor Item Concept: Lighter
General
The lighter is an item thats very dependent on addons - like keys. But it has got some other users that may tie into my other concepts.
The primary use however is to use the lighter to bless totems/create Boon totems. The lighter without addons makes the blessing interaction shorter (probably in scope of how the perk Counterplay shortens cleansing).
The lighter can be used to destroy spiderwebs faster (see Spiderwebs)
The lighter can be used to create a small source of light only protecting yourself from darkness (see killer concept Charlie(The Darkness))
Another possible use could be related to fire barrels if they ever get actual game functions
Rarity
Rarity affects the number of charges the lighter has
Addons
Addons can be different kind of herbs that are being burned with the lighter, something like lavender, bergamot, chamomile. thyme, rosemary etc.
some ideas (if you have others, please comment); some of them might have different "tiers" or rarities available:
one addon enlarges the area in which you boon totem perk is effective, if the boon got blessed with the lighter (note that I expect Boon perks to be nerfed in some capacity on live release)
one addon strengthens your boon and the killers animation to deactivate it will be longer (or they have to do it twice to deactivate it)
one addon hides your aura while blessing a totem
one addon takes away the ability to use the lighter for blessings but grants the ability to hide your aura when you use it
one addon takes away the ability to use the lighter for blessings but grants the ability to see any revealable aura in very near range to you (inlcuding killers aura, totems, other items on the ground etc.)
Background
Lighters are often used as items in (horror) games and I have tried to think of an actual use before. Now with the upcoming introduction of Boon totems, I got this idea. I also considered making a Witch Book instead as an item which synergy to Boons, but in the end I think my Lighter idea has more variety with my other concepts and with different addon possibilities.
Also I recently rewatched this trailer, maybe one of the items could actually be called "Adam's Lighter":
