CREUSA'S CURSE (Killer Perk)

Icon: a hex totem with burning eyes, the skull wearing a spiked crown

A gift that burned in the face of love, of jealousy, of a woman scorned. The memory of this curse ignites all dull totems on the map for 80/100/120 seconds at the start of the Trial, covering your hexes in a veil of fire.

If a survivor attempts to cleanse a totem affected by Creusa's Curse, they are stunned for 1/1.5/2 seconds. If that totem was a real hex totem, the survivor's aura is revealed to the killer for 4 seconds.

"Let no one think of me as humble or weak or passive; let them understand I am of a different kind: dangerous to my enemies, loyal to my friends. To such a life glory belongs."

Inspired by the cursed garb Medea gave to Jason's wife, which burned her to death, I think a perk like this could help with an issue I've noticed lately of totems spawning and getting insta-gibbed due to bad spawns. It seems very bad lately, and I think this perk could counter it. Currently I copied the timing from corrupt intervention, but given it has other effects, it could be possible to reduce it since 120 seconds is a long time.

I would love to see this added in a chapter about old Greek myths, the killer being inspired by Medusa/Circe. Not a 'hag' but a true sorceress with a desire for vengeance.
