Cult deconversion sucks and isn't fun for anyone

See title. You sit around for ages babysitting someone, the cultist gets bucklecuffed and it just wastes everyone's time.

The result is that security gets the incentive to just execute all cultists because it is 10 times faster.

balance: The deconversion time for holy water is slightly reduced, 10 units and 45 seconds (give or take), is all you should need now. Blood cultists can now have seizures while afflicted with holy water.

I suggested a while ago to give recent deconvertees a glowing halo visible over their head, because the only reason you have to babysit is to witness deconversion prompt really.

turns out it takes 25 units

Speaking as someone who plays a ton of HoS, the worst part isn't the time, it's the lack of confirmation of cult status until it completes and the fact that the message being a one-time thing requires you to babysit them. Go with what others have suggested and make them have seizures and have a halo appear over them. Maybe have their sprite flicker between a fully robed cultist and their normal appearance. Just give me something so I don't have to babysit.

just timed it, it takes 2 minutes. currently cult blabber and seizures exist but are locked behind a probability of 8 and 8 then 20 respectively. maybe increase the probability?

feel free to code in a guaranteed visual effect though

No joke, you are better off killing them and incinerating the bodies to deny them soul stones or revived cultists than you are de-converting people and implanting them.

Making the basic fucking convert rune gib people is stupid.
