Each Spell is on its own independent cool-down.

SPECIAL TREASURE CHESTS: MAGIC ITEMS

Survivors can have both a Boot and a Gauntlet equipped at the same time.
Unlucky Survivors may only find a regular Item inside a Treasure Chest that is either depleted or half-depleted.

• Eye of Vecna: Rushing out of a Locker has the following effects for 12 seconds:
  
  • Suppresses their Aura, Scratch Marks, Blood Pools and Grunts of Pain.
  
  
  • Grants them complete invisibility.
  
  
  • Grants +25 % Haste.
  
  
  • Triggers Killer Instinct for 3 seconds after becoming visible again.
