Idea for a new use for a totem

After reading this thread (https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/73867/haunted-grounds-rework), I had an idea for a new perk or even a totem.

A totem could have an area of effect that provides some benefit to the killer. For example:

1) Aura reading capabilities that started at some distance from the totem and continued for some further distance from the totem.

2) Applies a status effect only within some radius of the totem.

This could be a Hex totem itself if the effect was very powerful. However, for a milder effect, this could be a perk that uses all null totems.

I really like the idea of providing some use to null totems, encouraging survivors to spend time on them in case the killer has this perk. We know survivors need more objectives and this could provide more incentive to treat them as such more often.
