Making Calm Spirit meta
To make Calm Spirit the best perk in the game I have a few suggestions.
It will still do the same things as of now, but with a small twist.
You start the Trial with a pet Crow.
This Crow will follow you everywhere you go.
While interacting with objects (like Totems or Generators) the Crow will idle on them and will be on a look out for any nearby Killer, if the Killer is within a small range (8 meters) from the Crow it will caw, alerting you from the potential danger.
This Crow is a better teammate than your actual teammates.
What do you think?

There's already a terror radius and there's already Spine Chill and they both give a bigger warning radius. Besides, Doctor and Infectious Fright are very strong and because of that Calm Spirit CAN be meta

But those don't come with a pet crow.
This is much better.

I’m indifferent to be honest but to continue with the friendly crow idea I would have it fly off to a nearby teammate within the same terror radius or X amount of distance so it can provide a calming influence and prevent their screams as well, maybe temporarily reveal their aura to you too like bond?
It could counter a few doc screams, iron maiden, dragons grip, residual clown tonic etc
Personally I think Infectious fright in particular is a really fun and well designed perk so I can’t really get on board with my own little added thought here
Based on your 8m warning caw idea I’m guessing it’s to help you with stealth killers but Myers breathes like Darth Vader, Ghostface whooshes, Piglette is breathy, roars with an ambush, whips her blade out, wraith clomps around.. lol
- Most importantly though.. if you’re on high alert then you’ll hear/see crows fly off just slightly in the distance even if it’s a Bubba with tinkerer or dark devotion moving in on you.

Having a pet, even if it does nothing, will make any perk meta! 👍🏼
In all seriousness tough, Calm Spirit is about remaining stealthy and undetected. Having a crow flying around you all the time is a little counter-productive in the regard.

I use Calm Spirit a lot. More killers use infectious fright and when you get a doctor you feel godly with it. With Iron Will it makes losing the killer in some spots easier because they can't track the direction of the scream and obviously can't hear you in pain, unless they have Stridor, (which is bullshit). I never used it before the buff although I think they should allow it to prevent coughing and gagging again.

Calm Spirit is already reasonably strong to counter Doctor/Infectious Fright any other actions that make you scream.
If anything, I think they should just add more ways of causing screaming into the game so that Calm Spirit will have more uses.
