Acolyte of Chayula

After many characters its clear the acolyte of chayula has the weakest feeling of presence while playing. The buffs are too short and inconsistent to feel like the player is an acolyte of chayula and the main defensive buff feels terrible due to an overwhelming downside.

I would love to see another rework that makes the ascendency feel present and usefull throughout all gameplay.

First volitility... Keep the negated damage, but scrap the 200 cap and go back to the base 20, allow volitility to self consume on max stacks. This allows the node to be present and useful in all fights without having to sacrifice a skill slot for catharsis fodder. Duration buff would be cool too, but this can be addresses later if necessary.

Remnants... Increase the duration. I love the concept of being in/collecting things from the breach, but its hardly worth it if i have to collect remnants every few seconds. This lack of uptime relegates it to an "if im lucky or happen to collect them" feeling where the impact is largely forgettable. Double or even triple the duration. Let me feel the power i just walked a circle around the boss arena to collect.

Darkness... Cool concept thats absolutely gutted by the sacrifice of spirit. Giving up the most powerful resource in a build for a mediocre defense is not worth it. Ritualists gain an extra ring slot, which can be a huge boon and only sacrifice 25% spirit (if chosen, though usually not). I don't see why the sacrifice for Darkness can't be the same or in a similar vein.

I feel like these changes would make my favorite class (thematically) actually feel good to play while simultaneously making the ascendency feel like its not always on cooldown. Please consider these changes or any others for this ascendency. As is its too underwhelming.
