Does Hex Plaything apply Oblivious to all survivors or just the hooked survivor?

The wiki isn't all that clear to me.

    It applies Oblivious to the survivor you hook.

    When you hook someone for the first time, Plaything will activate on one totem for that specific survivor. If you then hook a different survivor for the first time, it will activate again on a second totem, and so on.

    Each totem corresponds to one specific survivor, and their specific hex totem must be removed to remove their oblivious status. One totem being cleansed will only deactivate plaything for one survivor, and it will remain active on other survivors you have hooked.

    So you can have up to 4 hex totems with this perk, which is why it's generally not a good idea to run it in full hex builds.

    Also if the survivor dies without the hex totem ever being cleansed, it will revert to a dull totem as it's no longer doing anything.
