Hex: Pentimento
Teachable by The Artist
Reveals cleansed Totems and lets you rekindle them, slowing Survivors' repairs and healing per Totem.
Description
"You reveal the true power of the Totems, hidden within their remains."
Unlocks potential in your Aura-reading ability:
- The Auras of cleansed Totems are revealed to you in white.
Press the Interaction button over the remains of a cleansed Totem to resurrect it as a Rekindled Totem.
For each Rekindled Totem, Hex: Pentimento gains +1 Token, up to a maximum of 5 Tokens:
- 1 Token: Reduces the Action speeds for Healing and Repairing by -20 %.
- 2 to 5 Tokens: Increase the strength of the Action Speed penalty by a stackable 1/2/3 % per Token, up to a maximum of 24/28/32 %.
- Survivors cursed by Hex: Pentimento see the Auras of Rekindled Totems within 16 metres.
Once Hex: Pentimento has reached its limit of 5 Tokens, it calls upon The Entity for the following effect:
- Blocks all Rekindled Totems for the remainder of the Trial.
Totems may only be rekindled once per Trial, with The Entity consuming the remains of Rekindled Totems once they are cleansed.
The Hex Effects persist until the Hex Totem is either blessed or cleansed by a Survivor, disabling it for the remainder of the Trial.
"Though a pentimento is an inherently concealed piece of art, there is something to be said of the desire to discover that which is beyond." — A Guide to Art & Process (1961)
