#####R=== 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.

#####GGaining and losing corruptions
There are many ways how to gain or lose corruptions.

You can select the *****rm_corru.txt*0[corrupted race] on birth. Such foul
adventurers will gain and lose corruptions as they gain experience and
levels. There is a 1 in 3 chance to lose a corruption instead
of gaining it on these occasions.

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

There is 1 in 3 chance you will get corrupted when hit by a chaos attack 
while lacking a source of chaos resistance.

You can also gain and lose corruptions when polymorphing yourself.
