Notes

Debuff mechanics have been modernized and should now be consistent with similar effects.
Can now be cast while remaining hidden or invisible. Much like Vivisection, it will always show the caster's name to the victim, while contesting the perception of everyone in the room.
As a particularly stealthy spell, it will no longer alarm townsfolk.
Against a victim afflicted with Visions of Darkness, Vivisection will now be targeted faster, based on VoD integrity, and prefer to hit the eyes. This will work in conjunction with Call from Within and its ability to autocast VoD and Vivisection.
For the benefit of the CfW synergy, casting VoD on an already afflicted creature will redirect the cast to another, unafflicted creature instead. Recasting on players will attempt to refresh the spell with a longer duration.
If there's a perception debuff other than Wisdom it appears to be a secondary debuff of some sort rather than a direct skill debuff.
