Antinomic Corruption

Antinomic corruption is the result of Clerics using Antinomic Sorcery spells or by communing with a godling after it has intercepted devotional energy.
The effects of corruption are unknown at this time, but some observations are available:
- While a godling is awake Divine Intervention spells cannot be cast. It is not known if this effect also requires some level of corruption.
- While a godling is awake commune cannot be used. This affect does not seem to be linked to or is present even at very low levels of corruption.
- While a godling is awake devotion is intercepted by the godling. This affect does not seem to be linked to or is present even at very low levels of corruption
- Once a godling returns to sleep there is some loss of devotion; it is not clear if the devotion is used by the Aspect of the All-God spell itself or represents a cap imposed on devotion while the godling is active. Successive casts do not further reduce the devotion that remains when the spell wears off.
- There is no way to check corruption levels once the godling is asleep and Divine Intervention spells are once again usable. It is possible that once the godling is asleep that the effects of corruption are likewise absent.
- There is apparently at least one benefit to corruption.
Corruption levels
The currently known lowest to highest message ranges are as follows:
| Level | Commune |
|---|---|
| Your senses war against themselves in a vicious cycle before some cryptic threshold is met. After a moment, you feel the singular, all-too-penetrating attention of <godling> tickling your sensorium. | |
| Your senses war against themselves in a vicious cycle before some cryptic threshold is met. After a moment, you recognize the intangible lines of divinity impressed upon your personality. <godling> wallows in crippled finitude, forever entangled with you. | |
| Your senses war against themselves in a vicious cycle before some cryptic threshold is met. After a moment, you see your self-image superimposed by that of <godling>. Paranoia and solace both dwell within the vision, for you find your every thought and emotion reflected in nearly perfect synchrony. | |
| You call out to your empowered godling, and it answers in your own voice. You marvel at the rapturous presence of <godling> closer than your own skin, at how it has prospered as a result of your diligent efforts. | |
| You call out to your empowered godling, and it answers in your own voice. You gaze back into <godling>'s profound scrutiny all the while it chafes at the truths of its circumscribed existence. | |
| You call out to your empowered godling, and it answers in your own voice. After a moment, you see yourself standing in the shadow of a giant: a shifting, fog-shrouded chimera whose animal portions are indiscernible. Triptychs of light shatter and reform perpetually about it. | |
| You call out to your empowered godling, and it answers in your own voice. After a moment, you see a vision of <godling> as an amorphous, animalian wraith composed of jade-green mist who is forever facing you. | |
| Your empowered godling calls out to you in your own voice, and you answer. After a moment, you see a vision of <godling> embedded into the plane like so many deep roots, fracturing its pillars with godspun lawfare and making contradictions of its rules. | |
| Your empowered godling calls out to you in your own voice, and you answer. After a moment, you see a vision of <godling>, a great jade stake driven through several wounded, violated planes. Nothing short of a pet deity at your back, you are delirious with divine authority! |
NOTE: These are the known levels of corruption; there may be more and these may not be in the correct order.
Fading
Very little is known about the speed at which Antinomic Corruption fades (or if it does at all for that matter).
