Power
Stage Directions
Use the Power Button to spend a charge to draw a Stage Direction. When looking at a Stage Direction, press the Secondary Power Button to summon a Specter from the Stage Direction. The Specter is identical to the Killer but with the Undetectable status effect. It will chase the closest survivor within 10 meters of its starting location. If the Specter comes within range, it will hit the survivor. If this hits, the survivor will scream, and they will be Staggered for 0.5 Seconds. If it lives longer than 20 seconds the specter will dissipate, returning the charge. Stage Directions has 10 charges which can be recycled, unless all Stage Directions are in use. A Stage Direction is in use as long as its associated Specter is active.
Quick-Change
Use the Power Button when searching an empty locker to enter Quick-change. Quick-change will increase your movement speed to 300%. Quick-change removes collision, sounds, and visuals on Survivors, Blood, and Scratch Marks. You can see Lockers Auras. Search a locker to exit from it. This will trigger a 4 second animation. If a Survivor is within 5-meters they will be Hindered (-15%) for 2 Seconds. If the survivor is in the locker, they will be pushed out and damaged as well as the previous effect. This has a cooldown of 45 seconds. Lockers can be locked doubling the animations time.
Mori
