Abyssal Corruption
Transmission & Vectors
The Possession happens when coming in contact with Abyssal Energy in the Material Plane, usually via a Soul Sphere.
Causes
Touching a Soul Sphere will most likely not cause corruption, as not enough energy will be left inside after the host of the sphere is defeated. The transmition is caused when too much Abyssal Energy comes into contact with the body in question.
Symptoms
The first sign of infection is that the point of contact turns black and smooth like glass but remains malleable.
Treatment
Removing the orb will cause the Corruption to fade over time. The time it takes for the corruption to fully fade is 1/2 the amount of corrupted time up to a maximum of 1 week recovery time. During this time the corrupted individual will attempt to retrieve the sphere by any means. Sentience is regained halfway through the recovery time.
Prognosis
Once the skin has turned black and smooth at the point of contact the host will gain specific abilities outlined in the Soul Spheres page. once total corruption is seen the host will have to succeed on three DC 18 wisdom/intelligence saving throws in order to keep their sanity. If successful, the black coloration will succeed back into the sphere until the spheres abilities are used. If failed the creature gains the Abyssal Corruption status and looses control of their body. they will then be forced to use any means necessary to kill any sentient creature nearby.
Affected Groups
The most effected group are elves, due to the epicenter of the Corruption being their city, however all groupd can be affected by the Corruption
History
The first case of the Corruption came from the Elven wastelands of Moon-Hollow, where the elves overrun by a large number of Corrupted. This is the true reason the elven kingdom fell. The elves of Moon-Hollow are constantly battling the Corrupted and searching for a source of their vast numbers. most other countries and establishments believe the Corrupted to be a myth.
