'''Corruption''' is an elemental manifestation of the [[Darkness]] like [[Stasis]] and later [[Strand]] and in an equivalent manner as [[Arc]], [[Solar]] and [[Void]] are elemental manifestations of the [[Light]]. It is related to the corrupting powers of the [[Hive]], and is more loosely based on their arcana and how it is used to suppress and tear the life force out of unsuspecting victims. It is first introduced in the ''[[Forum:Season of Sorrow|Season of Sorrow]]'' as one of the manifestations of the Darkness. It was essentially created by [[Forum:Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker|Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker]] through the use of [[Soulfire]] along with the knowledge and power of the [[Sword Logic]]. It is heavily associated with the poisonous effects of the [[Weapons of Sorrow]]. 

==History==
The Corruption was founded by [[Forum:Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker|Shin'ra, the Sorrow-Maker]] after experimenting with the use of [[Soulfire]] and [[Darkness]], to the point in which he would create the new element, describing it as a "physical representation of the [[Sword Logic]]." 

==Gameplay==

===Verbs===
*'''Weaver's Veil''' — Your body is enshrouded by a dark mist that makes you near invisible to the eye and greatly increases your durability.
*'''Calcified Darkness''' — Enemies defeated by Corruption have a chance to leave pieces of Calcified Darkness which can be collected to restore energy. 
*'''Lingering Corruption''' — Pools of Corruption are created that deal lingering damage to enemies. It will begin to '''unmake''' any enemy that stands within the pool, the more stacks will make them '''rupture''', causing a burst of outward Corruption onto other enemies. 
*'''Rend''' — Enemies have a small chance to be rended by Corruption. They will immediately turn against their allies in battle and fight by your side. 
**Ultras are unaffected by rend. 
*'''Unmake''' — Enemies that are being unmade will become slowed and their defenses will drop significantly, effective against {{icon|Overload}} Overload Champions. The more stacks of unmake will make the enemies '''rupture'''.
*'''Rupture''' — Based on the stacks of '''unmake''', enemies will rupture, causing a burst of corruption to spill outwards onto other enemies, spilling unmake onto others which is effective against {{icon|Unstoppable}} Unstoppable Champions, stunning them.

===Melees===
*'''Sundering Fist''' — Titan Melee that effectively unleashes '''unmake''' on successful hits against enemies. 
*'''Teething Knife''' — Hunter Melee that works similarly to the Throwing Knife. Successful kills grant '''weaver's veil'''
*'''Maker's Hand''' — Warlock Melee that summons a homing bolt of Corruption that '''ruptures''' enemies on successful hits.

===Grenades===
*'''Fissure Grenade''' — Fissure Grenades summon in a basic pool of Corruption that damages targets over time by '''unmaking''' them. 
*'''Enshrouding Grenade''' — Enshrouding Grenades crate a small cloud of Corruption that grants '''weaver's veil''' to yourself and allies and '''unmakes''' enemies that enter the cloud. 
*'''Snaring Grenade''' — Snaring Grenades pull enemies closer and '''ruptures''' them. They also have a chance to be '''rended'''.
