This item would work similarly to how a Totem of Undying works. When the player is in a bit of an iffy situation and has gotten below 3 hearts, the Survivor's Totem would activate and give an adrenalin boost, a bit like the flight-or-fight response in animals when they're in danger. IRL, adrenaline increases the heartbeat and blood flow to muscles which make animals faster/stronger for a short period of time.
The Totem would give you Strength I and Speed I for 5 secs. However, since you are using up more energy, your hunger will deplete twice as fast for these 5 secs (for balancing).
Obtainability:
-
Mob drop and very rarely in chests (Not sure which mob could drop it though)
Rechargeability (Not sure which is better):
-
Used once and disappears (Like the Totem of Undying)
-
Used multiple times but needs to be recharged over some time every time it gets activated. For eg. (Used once, recharges for 2 minutes, can be used again) OR (Used once, used twice, used three times, recharges for several minutes, can be used again).
I definitely see this being quite useful when you're in a stressful situation and about to die. You could either attack the hostiles or run away from them in an attempt to survive.
PvP-wise, I think it could make some pretty interesting combat.
