Hylomorphic Corruption

Hylomorphic corruption is the result of Warrior Mages using Hylomorphic Sorcery spells like Aethrolysis.

The effects of the corruption are recurring wounds and vitality or spirit damage. This damage accumulates, similar to poison or disease, so be careful of numerous casts. The damage also appears to scale based off of the mana put into the Hylomorphic spell cast. More powerful casts appear to cause spirit damage more frequently than vitality damage. Aligning to the elemental domain of metal causes Hylomorphic corruption to decay faster without increasing the detrimental effects. Being in a room with a summoned metal domain active will temporarily stop both the damaging effects and the decay.

• You sense that the raw matter of your body is deteriorating in unknowable, grievous ways.
• A devastating nausea cascades up your body, driving blood out of your mouth. Hacking and trembling, you swat scalding tears from your eyes.

• Your flesh sizzles from within as if injected with boiling oil!
• Your bones glow with momentary blue brilliance, brittle and singing with pain.
• Your hanging skin seems to sprout burns and ulcerations, clotted with suppuration and blood.
