    === ToME Corruptions Spoiler ===

    Sometimes adventurers become exposed to the dark powers of Morgoth. If they
    are unable to resist these powers, they become corrupted. Corruptions can
    change their physical or mental abilities, some of which can be good, and
    some bad. Most corruptions will affect you permanently, although some only
    operate when they are activated (whether by player choice or as a random
    event). You can check which corruptions do you have in the knowledge screen
    6 (accessed through the '~' menu) or in a character dump.

    Gaining and (not) losing corruptions
    There are several ways that you can become corrupted.

    You can become corrupted by quaffing a Potion of Corruption or by drinking
    from a Fountain of Corruption. Also some strange items can be activated
    for corruption.
