Rework: replaced the Skill Check modifiers with an accessibility mechanic that indicates the intensity of the Killer's Terror Radius on the Perk's icon.
This change was motivated by complaints from the hard-of-hearing regarding the 6.1.0 PTB version of Spine Chill. Since they had relied on the original version of Spine Chill as a replacement for being unable to hear the Terror Radius. This change was temporary and ultimately removed from Spine Chill, once the Visual Terror Radius was implemented.
Quality of Life: added a brief Linger effect to stop the icon from flickering and to make the Action Speed bonus more consistent.
Nerf: the Action Speed bonus now only activates if the Killer has direct Line of Sight to the Perk User. Previous, it sufficed if the Killer faced in their direction, including through walls.
Nerf: no longer affects the Vaulting speed, as the Developers decided that it did not fit the theme of the Perk.
