Our take

Blessing a Dull or Hex Totem puts the Auras of every Chest and Generator inside its 24 metre radius on your screen in blue, and adds 6/8/10% to your own Blessing and Cleansing speeds. The visibility is shared with the team but the speed bonus is yours alone, and a second Illumination cannot stack.

How to use it A good fit for a team that wants a rotation of known objectives rather than wandering, since the Auras cover Chests and Generators alike. The 6/8/10% applies only to Blessing and Cleansing, nothing else you do.

Best for Prove Thyself and Brutal Strength are the partners listed, and all of them sit around working through objectives. It answers a team that would rather commit to a Generator it can already see than explore for one.
