Alignment: Mafia Support after reading, maybe mafia deception?

[Night] (Hacking announcer system) Changes target’s ‘killed by’ and ‘death note’. Take effect after 1 night. (One use)''' i feel like the day ability is mafia support while the night ability is mafia deception, which makes the role complex. '''

'''But mafia deception is just a subset of mafia support. It will show up as Random Mafia anyways.'''

Mechanics:

1. During the day, Hacker can whisper other mafia without [Player Name] is whispering to [Player Name] popping up or vice versa. Whispers to and from other factions still show up normally. Other mafia whispering to each other still show up normally. '''i find it hard to imagine a hacker properly coordinating a push/ lynch by whispering every mafia individually. i have a bold suggestion which is perhaps enable mafia day chat with a new command such as /wm (whisper mafia), but that might make the role overpowered.'''

​​​​​​​'''Enabling Mafia day chat is way too overpowered. I was even thinking of changing this to only Hacker to Other Mafia whispers are hidden and not vice versa. But I'll consider that.'''

2. During the night, Hacker can choose a target to alter their death form('killed by' and 'death note') by installing a malware on everyone else’s screen (No Visits). The alteration will take effect after a night and will last until the target dies. i feel '''the usage of the night ability is very limited. even if it is balanced, this is too high risk/high reward to be fun to play with/as/against'''

​​​​​​​Any Suggestions?

Anything Else: All dying method will show up when altering ‘killed by’, including mafia kill, jailor execute, veteran shot, jester guilt, and all Neutral Killing. '''does this bypass a spy bug? '''

​​​​​​​'''No, for balance reasons. Putting Hacker in Spy, Blackmailer, Jailor makes Spy even harder to claim. So making it not bypass makes Spy even more valuable for town. And it also serve a way to call a Hacker out.''' ​​​​​​​
