This needs a nerf in my opinion, as it is you can spam using your ability as you only lose it for 1 night once it activates so it is pointless to be careful with using it as there is no risk to using it.

I do like the delay after it activates but it showing the names of visitors practically guarantees a lynching the next day if you protect them from an attack.

I feel a good way to balance them would be to make them more like werewolf, have their ability only available during a full moon, that way you still have the delay and can keep the power of seeing who visits your target, maybe even buff the effect so you can select 2 players during a full moon to neutralize the nerf of having it only in full moons. This also provides counterplay as enemies only worry about it during a full moon, rather than having a constant risk of instantly being found out.
